Latics at full strength
Wigan Athletic,
Last updated:
Roberto Martinez has a fully fit squad to choose from as Wigan go in search of the point that will keep them in the Premier League.
Following events at the weekend Latics go into tonight's game at Blackburn knowing a point from the last two games should be enough to achieve safety and Martinez will be hoping to do it at Ewood Park. A draw would also send Blackburn into the Championship and it looks like being a nervy encounter in East Lancashire. Martinez has no injury concerns going into the game after key striker Franco Di Santo shook off a calf knock, while Ronnie Stam is also available after recovering from a hamstring problem. Despite only needing a point, Martinez says that Wigan will not be playing for a draw and will take to the pitch with the intention of taking all three points. "We can't do that, we're not that type of team," he said. "We're a team that needs to get on the ball and control games ourselves. We need to be brave in attack and defend with good intensity." Wigan wrap up the season at home to Wolves, who are already down, but Martinez wants the job done tonight.
