Squad sheets: Wigan Athletic canada goose coat 0f v Chelsea
This has occasionally proved an awkward fixture for Chelsea in the recent past and, given the frailties that have reared in their defence in pre-season, will offer another stern test on Sunday lunchtime. The focus may be drawn to Victor Moses, who is coveted at Stamford Bridge and could move to London cheap before the end of the transfer window, but the visitors would do well to concentrate on stifling the home debutant, Arouna Koné. Chelsea’s own £20m new boy, Oscar, could feature in some capacity as Roberto Di Matteo marks his first Premier League game in full-time charge. Both managers would hope to start in the manner in which their sides finished last term. Dominic Fifield
