Changes to be made?
The likes of Pearce, Bayliss, Massey, Watts and Bayliss were left on the bench against the Pilgrims which suggests they could all get a run out.
Youngsters like Long, Sze, Scott Smith, Thelo Aasgaard and Luke Robinson could also get some more game time under their belts.
Accrington boss, John Coleman, has hinted that he will be putting out a strong side. Stanley are one of only two teams in League One who have never visited Wembley before.
Wigan’s focus will no doubt be on gaining promotion this term and it will be interesting to see what side they put out.
