Wigan Athletic manager Owen Coyle has opted to place Manchester United loanee Nick Powell on the bench for tonight's Europa League group match against Rubin Kazan.

The Scotsman has made six changes to the team that secured a 2-1 victory over Huddersfield Town, as the Championship outfit try to move to the top of Group D with a win.

James McClean and Grant Holt have been given the nod to start, as have Callum McManaman and James McArthur.

Rubin are currently two points ahead of Wigan at the top of the group.

Wigan Athletic: Nicholls; Shotton, Barnett, Rogne, Crainey; Perch, McArthur, Espinoza, McManaman, McClean; Holt.

Rubin Kazan: Ryzhikov; Kuzmin, Mavinga, Cesar Navas, Sharonov; Ryazantsev, Torbinski, R Eremenko, Natcho; M'Vila, Mukhametshin
