50'
Boyce and Lopez combine to good effect at the back for the visitors, and Norwich have been quiet so far in this second half.
49'
Wigan are enjoying some good possession in the second half, and Martinez's changes appear to have made a difference.
48'
Maloney blasts a wild free kick miles over the crossbar from 25 yards, and that's a poor effort.
47'
Holt almost immediately draws a fine save from Al Habsi down low to his right with a snap shot from the edge of the box!

Should Roberto Martinez make changes at half-time? What do you predict the full-time scoreline will be?

The half-time whistle goes at Carrow Road, and Norwich lead Wigan 1-0 courtesy of Anthony Pilkington's 15th minute strike. It should be one or two more for Norwich, but Wigan remain in the contest with just a goal in it.
45+2'
Snodgrass again drifts out to the right and whips over a testing ball towards Holt, but Al Habsi collects once more.
45+1'
Tettey is put through on goal, but he dallies and ends up turning back towards his own half and playing the ball behind him!
45'
There will be three added minutes at the end of this first half as Wigan keep the ball tidily in thier own half.
44'
Al Habsi does very well to claim a high ball inside his box as he challenges with Holt, and he looks assured this time.
43'
Wigan are ending the first half strongly after having been outplayed for most of it. Martinez will certainly have to consider making changes at the break.
42'
Hughton will be generally delighted with his side's showing in this first half, but will be unhappy that only one chance has been converted.
41'
Wigan's first attempt on goal comes four minutes before the break, and Boselli simply drives it straight to Bunn, who gathers comfortably.

Lopez is booked for a robust challenge on Hoolahan, and the home fans are delighted by this.
39'
Norwich could quite easily be three goals up at this stage, with Snodgrass and Pilkington both squandering glorious chances.
38'
It's all Norwich still, and Wigan cannot seem to get on the ball or to alleviate the pressure on their goal.

Al Habsi makes up for his earlier error with a stunning save! Garrido gets to the left byline before scooping a pinpoint cross over to Snodgrass, who should score with a free header on target, but Al Habsi tips it over the crossbar!
36'
Kone takes a through ball from Gomez into his stride, but his shot flashes wide from the edge of the penalty area!
35'
Johnson and McCarthy are locked in an ongoing battle in midfield, and the former fails to make contact with a kick off the ball - he's treading a tightrope!
34'
STAT: Norwich are unbeaten in their last nine league games. They last went on a longer run within a single top-flight season in March 1987 (15 games).
