Alex Ferguson will check on the fitness of defenders Rio Ferdinand and Jonny Evans before finalising his Manchester United team to face Wigan at the JJB Stadium tomorrow, kick-off 8pm.

Ferdinand tweaked a calf in training on Saturday that ruled him out of United's derby win over Manchester City, while his replacement Evans limped off with a hamstring injury.

John O'Shea is set to play in central defence if both men are ruled out, with Ferguson set to make other changes; Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney among those set to return as United hunt the four points required to clinch the title.

Manchester United squad: Van der Sar, Foster, Kuszczak, Rafael, O'Shea, Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Ronaldo, Nani, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Anderson, Park, Giggs, Rooney, Tevez, Berbatov, Macheda.
