Wigan v Bolton preview
Wigan entertain Lancashire rivals Bolton on Saturday in what promises to be a keenly-fought local derby. The Latics have slipped to three consecutive defeats in recent weeks, dashing their hopes of securing a European spot for next season.They have slipped back into the midst of mid-table as a result and will be desperate to end the season on a positive note.Steve Bruce's side have fared reasonably well in derby clashes this season, though, and will be looking to keep that run going against the Trotters.Bolton have taken just five points from 10 meetings with their North West neighbours this term and they will be keen to avoid more misery at the JJB Stadium.Gary Megson's side will need little motivation heading into the game, but they will know victory this weekend could secure their Premier League status for another year.Providing other results go their way at the bottom, three points against the Latics would take the Trotters to 41 for the season and guarantee them a place among English football's elite for the 2009/10 campaign.Mido readyWigan striker Mido is recovering well from a shoulder problem and should be fit enough to put himself in contention.The on-loan Middlesbrough forward came off at half-time in last week's defeat to Blackburn but manager Steve Bruce expects the Egypt international to take his place in the starting line-up.Fellow striker Amr Zaki may be given his first start alongside his compatriot since 4th March, with Bruce ready to put recent differences aside.Duo returnBolton manager Megson expects to have defenders Ricardo Gardner and Danny Shittu available again.Gardner has been nursing a hamstring injury and Shittu has been troubled by a calf strain, forcing both men to miss last weekend's clash against Aston Villa.Yet the pair should be passed fit along with Andy O'Brien (cramp), leaving midfield knee injury victims Mark Davies and Joey O'Brien as the Trotters' only absentees.Possible starting XIsWigan: Kirkland, Boyce, Bramble, Scharner, Figueroa, Valencia, Cattermole, Watson, N'Zogbia, Mido, Zaki.Bolton: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, O'Brien, Cahill, Samuel, Taylor, McCann, Muamba, Gardner, Elmander, Davies.
