WANDERERS will go to Maine Road on Saturday without the suspended Bruno N'Gotty and the injured Bernard Mendy.
Mike Whitlow and Gudni Bergsson will need fitness tests to determine whether they will be available to offer Allardyce alternatives in the back line against their Manchester rivals.
Options will be limited in midfield, however, with Per Frandsen forced out of the Chelsea game at half-time with a hamstring injury and likely to be missing for a fortnight.
