This weekend sees another local Derby for the Latics, who are entertaining Bolton at home. Steve Bruce will be hoping that Wigan can overturn their recent poor form of three consecutive defeats, which have effectively ended their hopes of playing in Europe next season, and finish strongly for the fans. If on-loan strike Mido is fit to play, this will substantially help Wigan’s chances.
The Trotters' results this season against their North West neighbours have also been disappointing, with only five points won from 10 meetings. However as victory this weekend will take Bolton to 41 points and could secure their Premier League status for another year (if other results go their way), Megson should have no problems motivating his men. Megson will also be expecting to have Ricardo Gardner, Danny Shittu and Andy O'Brien available again, which will help his cause enormously.
