13th and 18th place go head to head in the Premiership this weekend, with Wigan and Bolton - two of the Premiership's relegation battlers - going head to head. Wigan boss Steve Bruce believes that this game could be like a 'cup final' for both sides.
"It's going to be a cup final," admitted Bruce, who is likely to be without Emile Heskey because of a foot injury.
"It's a huge fixture because matches with other clubs around us in the table are deciders.
"We're now up to 13th in the Premiership and I wish the season was over now, but to go from second bottom to 13th in just a matter of months means we've done extremely well.
"We've taken 20 points from 15 games since I took charge and I've always been a firm believer in the theory that, if a club takes a point a game, then they do stay up.
"We're ahead of schedule and the signs are there that we are a decent team."
