Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez makes nine changes to his side for this afternoon's FA Cup tie against Bournemouth.

Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez has rung the changes for this afternoon's FA Cup tie at home to Bournemouth.

Goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi is given a rest as 40-year-old Mike Pollitt gets a rare start for the Latics.

Mauro Boselli and Callum McManaman are among nine changes as Martinez opts to give his key players a chance to recharge the batteries in the fight for Premier League survival.

Manchester United youngster Angelo Henriquez makes the bench after joining Wigan on loan earlier this week.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has been forced to make a late change, with Lewis Grabban withdrawn late this morning through illness.

Howe has made four changes from the goalless draw at Brentford as Matt Tubbs is recalled in attack.

Josh McQuoid and Shwan Jalal also start as Howe opts to rotate his promotion-chasing side.

Wigan: Pollitt, Boyce, Golobart, Figueroa, Stam, Fyvie, Jones, Redmond, Gomez, Boselli, McManaman

Bournemouth: Jalal, Francis, Elphick, Cook, Daniels, McQuoid, O'Kane, Arter, Pugh, Tubbs, Hughes
