Last season Chelsea won 1-0 at Wigan thanks to an early goal from Deco, but he remains on the sidelines, while Didier Drogba, who has five goals in six games, is doubtful. They may not miss him; 46 of Drogba’s 60 Premier League goals have come at Stamford Bridge. Wigan test Olivier Kapo, who has yet to start this season.
