Squad:
Chelsea (from): Hilario, Taylor, Ferreira, Belletti, Alex, Terry, Carvalho, Ben-Haim, A Cole, Bridge, Lampard, Essien, Ballack, Sidwell, J Cole, Wright-Phillips, Shevchenko, Pizarro, Drogba, Obi, Makelele, Kalou, Anelka.
Quote:
Avram Grant will again rely on Hilario in goal for Monday night's game with Wigan.
With Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini out with facial and hamstring injuries, reserve team keeper Rhys Taylor, 18 this week, will be on the bench.
Wigan midfielder duo Michael Brown and Jason Koumas are both available again after suspension. Manager Steve Bruce has no new injury concerns, with Erik Edman the only long-term absentee.

Won't be as easy as everybody thinks, Wigan are near the bottom and they need to get points from every game, so they will definitely be up for it. We have Everton 4 days later and we will need to rest some players in light of that trip... I won't try to predict the team... tho I expect him to play a pretty strong team. Mikel, malouda and Anelka probably coming in for Kalou, Drogba and Makelele. and belletti starting from the beginning perhaps.
