Two relegation strugglers clash in what should be a tight and nervy 90mins of football when Blackburn Rovers host Wigan Athletic from Ewood Park at 5.00am AEST.
If Blackburn Rovers is to survive a further week in the race for survival, a maximum of three points is imperative against Wigan Athletic.
Not only have Blackburn Rovers fallen six points behind the last guaranteed survival position with only two games remaining, but they now must rely on other results to go their way even if they do beat Wigan.
On the other hand Wigan Athletic are on a remarkable run, which unbelievably has seen them beat the likes of Newcastle United, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool.
Rather than needing a win to galvanise their chances of survival, Wigan Athletic can all but secure their safety with a draw against Blackburn considering their superior goal difference to that of Bolton who hold the final relegation place.
A point will move Wigan Athletic to 38 points three clear of Bolton with one game to go.
Here’s hoping this match lives up to that of the reverse fixture at the DW Stadium this season which saw a thrilling match end 3-3 after a Yakubu penalty in the eighth-minute of stoppage time.
Can Blackburn Rovers get the win they desperately need or will Wigan Athletic cement their place in the Premier League next season? Join us from 5.00am AEST for all the drama as the battle for relegation intensifies in the English Premier League.
