Bottom of the table a week ago, Wigan know victory will lift them to within a point of struggling Sunderland. Steve Bruce, Roberto Mart�nez's predecessor at the DW Stadium, has seen his side lose eight and draw one of their past nine games. He needs a strong performance from captain Lee Cattermole ? also once of Wigan ? but must be mindful of the threat posed by Charles N'Zogbia, Mart�nez's outstanding individual. "You've got to show your teeth, come out fighting and hope people around you have the same kind of bollocks," said Bruce. Louise Taylor
