Wigan v West Ham Live

Wigan Athletic will take on West Ham United at the DW Stadium in a battle of the relegation places that could well decide the fate of the losing team. Wigan have played some good football just when they have needed to and their draw with Villa last weekend is evidence enough that there is fighting spirit in the team. West Ham also managed a draw last week when they played against fellow relegation battlers Blackburn Rovers.

Fulham are safe with 45 points but their season has been poor compared with last year where revenue was boosted by a good run in the Europa League. This transfer window should see major changes in the team.

Birmingham City has been in a poor form this season. They have been able to win only 1 from their last 6 fixtures. Currently placed in the 15th position with a meagre 12 points, a great task lies ahead of them if they want to end up this season on a respectable note. Last match too saw them take lead but a 71st minute penalty on them that proved fatal as they finished with a draw. Jerome has been the backbone for the Birmingham team thus far and he has been immensely supported by Benitez. Larsson on the other hand has made good use of his experience and instilled some good spirit in the team.

Fulham has shown some good performances in the recent past, registering 2 wins from their last 4. Placed 11th currently, they are showing some good build up as the season progresses. Fulham players have definitely done some exceptional work on the field that has upped their confidence to a whole new level. The team is more in sync with each other, and especially their counter attacking has been classical. Dempsey has been instrumental in their increasing strength, especially in the mid line. Their manager Roy Hodgson just needs to make sure that the players perform to their potentials and maintain their fitness levels.
