Chelsea Vs Wigan
| Quote: |  Chelsea will be determined to return to winning ways as they welcome struggling Wigan to Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Arjen Robben's stoppage time strike gave Chelsea a 3-2 victory at Wigan before Christmas, but The Blues have not won in the Premiership since.
They were also held to a surprise 1-1 draw by Wycombe in the Carling Cup in midweek, while rumours continue to circulate about the futures of striker Andrei Shevchenko and manager Jose Mourinho.
Chelsea will know they cannot afford to lose any more ground on Premiership leaders Manchester United as they are already six points adrift at the top, but Wigan would seem ideal opponents for them to get back on track.
The Latics have lost their last five league games and have sunk to 17th in the Premiership, while they also crashed out of the FA Cup against Portsmouth last week.
Paul Jewell has dismissed talk of a crisis, but will be desperate to see his side pull clear of trouble.
Wigan's strikeforce posed problems for Chelsea's defence in December and John Terry remains sidelined for The Blues.
Terry had back surgery last month and his bid to return to fitness is now being hampered by a calf injury which is expected to rule him out for some time.
Ashley Cole is also suspended, so Wayne Bridge is set to revert to left-back after being pushed further forward against Wycombe.
Petr Cech, Carlo Cudicini, Robben and Joe Cole all miss out due to injury, while Shevchenko is carrying a minor hamstring problem.
Andreas Granqvist and Kristofer Haestad could both make their Premiership debuts for Wigan after playing in the FA Cup defeat to Portsmouth.
Mike Pollitt started in goal against Pompey but has since joined Burnley on a month's loan, so Chris Kirkland will return between the posts.
Gary Teale has also left Wigan during the last seven days, signing for Derby County for £600,000.
Skysports.com Prediction: 2-1
Wigan's losing run to continue as Chelsea scrap for a valuable three points.
Player to watch: Frank Lampard
