John Sheridan has stuck with the same starting XI which pulled off a 2-1 victory at Southend United last weekend.

That means the returning Danny Whitaker can only make the bench with Kevin Maher and Mark Allott again preferred in midfield.

Meanwhile Chris O'Grady wins a spot on the bench in place of Lewis Alessandra, who is at home after picking up a viral infection.

Latics: Crossley, Lomax, Jones, Gregan, Stam, Taylor, Liddell, Allott, Maher, Hughes, Byfield.

Subs: O'Grady, Fleming, Eardley, Whitaker, Lee.

Walsall have named the following side:

Gilmartin, Weston, Gerrard, Hughes, Palmer, Mattis, Ricketts, Taundry, Nicholls, Deeney, Smith.

Subs: Boertien, Zaaboub, Bradley, Reich, Sansara.
