Newcastle will play Wigan at the JJB Stadium on Sunday following their 1-0 win in the UEFA Cup on Thursday.

Scott Parker and Antoine Sibierski both return for Newcastle after recovering from hamstring problems.

Oguchi Onyewu is available for selection again after being ineligible for the UEFA Cup tie.

N'Zogbia and Given both return to the first team aswell as Newcastle's physio room slowly empties.

Wigan's Fitz Hall will miss the game through suspension after his appeal against a red card was turned down, but Folan should be fit despite having a knock on his ankle.

Newcastle (from): Given, Harper, Srnicek, Solano, Babayaro, Taylor, Bramble, Onyewu, Moore, Huntington, Butt, Parker, Milner, Duff, N'Zogbia, Pattison, Martins, Dyer, Sibierski, Luque, Carroll, LuaLua.
