Preview: Wigan vs Man Utd

The crown is in Man Utd's hands as they battle to secure a second consecutive Premiership title this afternoon as they travel to the JJB Stadium to take on Wigan. Today is the first time in nine years that the title is decided on the final day, and Sir Alex knows that his experienced side must pull out all their resources to secure a victory.

Chelsea and United are level in points as we go into the final day of an exciting Premiership campaign.
