Salford are hoping to have Luke Adamson available for the visit of the leaders on Sunday after the second rower missed the last two games with a leg injury.
Head coach Shaun McRae told the Reds official website: "Luke certainly hasn't been ruled out. He's done all the work this week and trained every day so we shall see where we stand with him on Sunday."
But the hosts will be without powerful winger Jodie Broughton, who is still suffering from a shoulder injury.
Salford are likely to continue with Daniel Holdsworth and Stefan Ratchford at half-back after their impressive 30-18 win over high-flying Huddersfield.
Despite the Warriors' flying start to Super League XV, McRae is hoping for another upset at the Willows.
He added: "Wigan are a very good team both offensively and defensively. They start and finish their sets well and build pressure all the time, and that is all coupled with wonderful finishing ability.
Strong
"We have to shut these strengths down and be strong in all departments, especially our skill and work rate. If we can do all of that we have a great chance to win the game."
Wigan are bidding for a sixth straight win but will be without Amos Roberts, who suffered knee ligament damage against Wakefield on Monday.
Fit-again Cameron Phelps is likely to be a direct replacement at full-back.
Michael Maguire's 19-man squad also includes a return for Mark Riddell and a call-up for young forward Jonny Walker, who would make his first team debut if selected.
Half-back Thomas Leuluai misses out with a bruised foot, whilst veteran forward Stuart Fielden is rested.
Salford City Reds squad: Fitzpatrick, Broughton, Henry, Talau, Gibson, Ratchford, Cashmere, Sidlow, Alker, Leuluai, Jewitt, Adamson, Swain, M. Smith, Littler, Sibbit, Tyrer, Holdsworth, Boyle.
Wigan Warriors squad: Phelps, Gleeson, Carmont, Richards, S. Tomkins, Riddell, Coley, J. Tomkins, O'Loughlin, Prescott, McIlorum, Bailey, Paleaaesina, Deacon, O'Carroll, Mossop, Goulding, Farrell, Walker.
