Squad sheets: Blackburn Rovers v Wigan Athletic

The Monday night shift has not generally proved popular with clubs or supporters this season, but neither Blackburn Rovers now Wigan will be complaining this week. By kick-off at Ewood Park they will know the fortunes of Bolton, QPR and Aston Villa, and Wigan could need only a point to ensure they stay up. Whatever their rivals muster, Rovers – who are away at Chelsea on the final day – realistically must win this one, and hope that Wigan return to their meek early-season form rather than continue their recent heroics.
