Wigan must do without loanee Chris Herd, who has returned to parent club Aston Villa after he tore knee ligaments against Reading. Jason Pearce, Harry Maguire and Sheyi Ojo, who all made their Wigan debuts in that game, will hope to retain their places. Charlton could call upon former Burnley and Bolton midfielder Chris Eagles, who signed a short-term deal on Thursday. Defender Roger Johnson is a doubt with a broken rib. MATCH FACTS

When the red red robin Goes bob bob bobbin’ Along, along, There’ll be no more sobbin’ As he keeps throbbin’ His old, sweet song, Wake up, wake up, you sleepy head, Get up, get up get out of bed, Cheer up, cheer up, the sun is red, Live, Love, laugh and be happy!
What if I feel blue, I’ll go walking through Fields of flowers, Rain may glisten but still I listen For hours, and hours. I’m like a kid again, Doing what I did again, Singing this song, When the Red Red Robin Goes Bob Bob Bobbin’ along!

When the red red robin
Goes bob bob bobbin’
Along, along,
There’ll be no more sobbin’
As he keeps throbbin’
His old, sweet song,
Wake up, wake up, you sleepy head,
Get up, get up get out of bed,
Cheer up, cheer up, the sun is red,
Live, Love, laugh and be happy!
What if I feel blue,
I’ll go walking through
Fields of flowers,
Rain may glisten but still I listen
For hours, and hours.
I’m like a kid again,
Doing what I did again,
Singing this song,
When the Red Red Robin
Goes Bob Bob Bobbin’ along!
