Date:Dec. 21, 2009,
Tournament:English premier League
Teams:Wigan Athletic vs Bolton
Just two points above the relegation zone, Wigan is struggling through their season with the most porous defense in the league. Despite an early-season victory over Chelsea, their 9-1 thrashing by Spurs a few weeks ago must have shaken the Latics and their manager Roberto Martinez to their core. Still, they\'ll have added incentive in this Monday fixture since a loss will allow their opponents to pass them.

Bolton manager Gary Megson, having been involved in a dressing room incident with Jlloyd Samuel, refuses to pull his verbal punches and has been outspoken in his criticism of his team\'s performances. On top of this Bolton are unlikely to have mid-fielder Gavin McCann available against Wigan. With just one win in 6 matches the Trotters could use all hands on deck as they strive to pass Wigan in the table.
