Rea starts: The predicted Wigan Athletic XI to face Stoke in the FA Cup

Wigan Athletic travel to Stoke City this weekend in the FA Cup, with them looking to cause a bit of a cup shock in the process.

Both sides have had good seasons so far in their respective leagues, with the Latics flying high and challenging for promotion in Sky Bet League One, and Stoke going along relatively well in the Sky Bet Championship and looking for a top six spot by the end of the season.

Certainly, this is a game that has plenty of intrigue around it and it could go either way, as both managers aim to balance using their squads between league and cup duties.

In terms of team news for the Latics, they will be without Will Keane, Jordan Cousins ​​and Tom Pearce through injury, whilst Graeme Shinnie is also cup-tied.

Glen Rea and Jamie McGrath could be in-line to feature for the first time since arriving at the club in January, though.

That said, this is the XI we could see them field against the Potters:
