Wigan play Swansea in a must win home game tonight as they look to avoid relegation from the Premier League with another great escape.

Swansea have nothing to play for, already have a League Cup trophy in their cabinet and are sitting comfortably in mid-table. Wigan on the other hand are in the final relegation place at the moment but a win tonight would see them climb out of that place, and push Newcastle into the drop zone.

Everybody expected Wigan to put a run together at the end of this season and they have done so to an extent, drawing against Tottenham and beating West Brom at the weekend. These four points have given them a realistic chance of survival but a win is needed tonight as they go to Arsenal on Saturday.

These type of matches are usually a case of whoever wants it more, wins. Putting that into practise, Wigan to win tonight at 17/20 (Bet365) is the bet for the short priced punter.

Swansea haven’t won in seven games in the league and in their last seven away matches they have failed to score on five occasions.

For a more interesting bet, back the first goal to be a header at 22/5 (Bet Victor). Three of Wigan’s last five goals have come from a header and five of their last seven league games at home have seen four goals or more, while Wigan have only kept one home clean sheet all season. Over 3.5 goals is a 23/10 (Sportingbet) shot tonight.
