Wanderers make the short trip to the DW Stadium to take on the Latics in a second round derby match.
Ian Evatt will be without long term injury Liam Edwards and attacker Amadou Bakayoko after a scan revealed a calf strain was more serious than first feared and he is due to be ruled out for six weeks.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow's game against Wigan, Evatt has revealed that his has no fresh absences due to injury or coronavirus.
And he believes whatever team he picks will be capable of getting a result against Leam Richardson's side.
He said: "Whatever team I pick, I think the team will be capable of winning the game, so regardless of what happens or what changes are made, if any, I think whatever team I pick will be more than capable of winning the game.
“I think there’s never a bad time to have a local derby. I think we are in good form. I think we’re playing well. I think we have players chomping at the bit to play and are excited by playing in a cup match against our local rivals with a huge away following, so we’re looking forward to the game and hopefully we’ll give a good account of ourselves.”
Central defender Aimson is yet to make his competitive debut for Wanderers since joining over the summer due to a groin problem.
But Evatt gave good news with his recovery and revealed the former Plymouth Argyle defender is set to rejoin training sessions later this week.
He added: "He’s doing much better. He’s back out running on the grass again.
"We’re hopeful he’ll be joining in sessions again on Thursday, possibly Monday at the latest, but it’s all good with him now.”
