One to watch
Striker, Joe Garner.
The experienced striker has played over 14 seasons in the EFL and has played as high as the Championship, scoring over 100 league goals.
The 32 year old has already notched 7 goals for the Latics this season including one in an impressive 6-1 win over Liverpool U21s.
It is unknown how strong Wigan’s line up will look on Wednesday night, however Rovers will need to keep a keen eye on the Wigan talisman to keep him off the scoresheet if he plays a part.
