The Japan international is suffering from a slight groin problem and is a doubt for the match, where Wigan will bid to end a six-game winless run in the league. The Latics will again be without winger Albert Crusat and defender Antolin Alcaraz, with manager Roberto Martinez admitting the Paraguayan centre-back is unlikely to be back much before Christmas. Meanwhile, West Ham manager Sam Allardyce will welcome defender Joey O'Brien back into the squad at Wigan. The 26 year-old suffered a hamstring injury during the Hammers' 2-1 win at QPR at the start of the month and his return will ease Allardyce's defensive worries though he could field the team that beat Southampton. Matthew Taylor and Guy Demel are also available return to first-team action Match Notes Two ideologies collide; teams that are perceived differently to before.
