Scott Vernon is not named in the squad, after arriving late for Athletic's Carling Cup win over Stoke on Tuesday. Rodney Jack also failed to arrive by kick-off, but he is named in the Squad. Double standards? Surely not. Anyway, both players have been fined by Talbot.
Matty Appleby is not in the squad, as he is still suffering from a dead leg. Despite being subbed at half-time on Tuesday after concerns of a hamstring injury, Will Haining is included in Oldham's squad. He could be replaced by David Beherall or Danny hall, if he is not match fit.
Les Pogliacomi and Mark Arber are in the squad, after Talbot publically criticised them for their performances. "I think my goalie can play better, I think Arber can play better". Commendable though it is, it is difficult to imagine Ferguson or Wenger saying this about two key men in their sides.
