Megson: We will give our all

Gary Megson insists Bolton Wanderers will give their all in Sunday's high-profile clash with Chelsea as they have not yet secured their own Premier League status.
The Trotters effectively ensured they could not get relegated with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland last weekend which led to claims from Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson that they may have taken their eye off the ball ahead of the final round of fixtures.
Leaders United could lose the title on the last day should they fail to pick up three points at Wigan Athletic and Chelsea defeat Bolton.
However, Megson has warned his players that they could still mathematically be relegated should Fulham or Reading win their final games by a massive margin.
"We've given ourselves a great chance of staying up but we haven't guaranteed that, everybody's got to realise that the job's not done yet," he told the club's official website.
"In terms of preparation, we'll do everything the same as we've done in the past. We're fully aware of the team that we're playing and the position they're in - and we're fully aware of the position we're in.
"Results elsewhere will play a part but it doesn't matter. Even if we didn't need any points from the game, I expect us to play properly and to compete.
"I expect us to put a foot in and not short-change the people who're going down there."
