Jordi Osei-Tutu starts his first league game for Wanderers for the derby visit of Wigan.
The wing-back comes into the league line-up after topping up his match fitness in Tuesday night’s Vertu Trophy win over Huddersfield Town.
Boss Ian Evatt makes three changes to the side that beat Mansfield in Wanderers’ last league game – a seventh home win in a nine-match unbeaten run at the Toughsheet Community Stadium – with Dion Charles and captain George Thomason also back.
Nathan Baxter, Szabi Schön, John McAtee and George Johnston return after starting on the bench in the Trophy as the Whites look to extend their recent impressive run and move into the top six in the lunchtime kick-off.
