Chris Hughton will field his strongest side as Brighton look for a win to clinch promotion to the Premier League,
Gaetan Bong, Liam Rosenior and Beram Kayal are all in contention after sitting out the victory over Wolves.
Nick Powell is likely to remain on the bench for Wigan, despite scoring an 11-minute hat-trick as they came from two goals down to beat Barnsley 3-2.
Forwards Omar Bogle (thigh) and Will Grigg (knee) are both expected to miss the game at the Amex Stadium.
Brighton need four points to secure promotion, but have a vastly superior goal difference compared to third-placed Huddersfield, so one more win should be enough for the Seagulls to get back to the top flight after a 34-year absence.
