Blackburn’s top flight status hangs by a thread, with Victor Moses looming over them like a tricky Edward Scissorhands. Tonight’s game is as crucial as they come and our Dugout Discussion chatroom is open wide ready to take in your reactions as the match unfolds.

Just a point for Robert Martinez’ progressive Latics will keep them safe and complete another miraculous escape act. Steve Kean can only look on at their position in envy, knowing that even a win under the Ewood lights may not be enough for Rovers to scramble clear.

The team news tells a story – Wigan are unchanged again, confident in their lineup and 3-5-2 system that has brought them such success in the final furlong. As for Rovers, there’s just a whiff of desperation lingering amongst the bovril and balti pies. Anthony Modeste starts for Mauro Formica, with Steve Kean set to play him up top with Yakubu. Junior Hoilett will presumably get off the phone from his agent long enough to take up a place on the wing.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      That's harsh on the 'foreigners' as you so delicately put. Players like Hoilett, Yakubu, Pederson and Olsson etc have clearly been trying hard. I'm sure it's a terrible time and horrible thing to see, trust me, i know, i'm a Plymouth Argyle fan! But you still stick behind your team through thick and thin and maybe they'll be more inclined to play for you when they hear your support! Hence why Argyle are staying up, and Blackburn look to be heading down.
