Wigan Athletic entertain Aston Villa on Saturday in desperate need of points to ease their relegation worries.

Wigan Athletic entertain Aston Villa on Saturday desperate for points in their bid for survival.

The Latics are currently bottom of the Premier League table after four defeats in their last six.

However, a win against Alex McLeish's side could lift them out of the drop zone by Saturday evening.

Villa themselves have experienced a recent slump and will be looking for a win to ease their own relegation worries.

Robbie Keane is expected to play the last game of his loan spell for the visitors before he returns to Los Angeles Galaxy, while Richard Dunne and Ciaran Clark are unavailable through injury.

Wigan boss Roberto Martinez has no new injury worries ahead of the match and could name the same team that earned a vital 2-1 win over Bolton Wanderers two weeks ago.

Current form:

Wigan: LLLLDW
Aston Villa: LDWDLL

Possible lineups:

Wigan: Al Habsi; Alcaraz, Caldwell, Boyce, Figueroa; McCarthy, Gomez, Moses, McArthur; Beausejour, Di Santo

Aston Villa: Given; Hutton, Cuellar, Collins, Warnock; Ireland, Petrov, Gardner, Albrighton; Bent, Keane

Sports Mole says: 1-2
