Wigan Athletic manager Uwe Rosler has made three changes to his side for the Championship clash with Reading at the Madejski Stadium.
Keeper Al-Habsi replaces Scott Carson for the visitors, with Jean Beausejour and Callum McManaman also coming in for the Latics.
Reading will be looking to build on last weekend's victory against Huddersfield, and Nigel Adkins is boosted by the return of Danny Guthrie following suspension.
Reading: McCarthy, Gunter, Pearce, Pogrebnyak, Drenthe, McAnuff, Sharp, Gorkss, Guthrie, Williams, Cummings
Wigan Athletic: Al Habsi, Perch, Barnett, Rogne, Beausejour, Watson, McArthur, McCann, McManaman, Powell, McClean
