Want some idea of how big this game is? Both clubs have been spending the week with their legal teams, furiously attempting to lobby the Premier League to allow relegation six-pointers to actually be worth six points. The stakes simply could not be higher. The loser of this game will probably be relegated, and West Ham could conceivably be relegated even if they win.
Such is West Ham's plight that you sense Scott Parker will somehow be bustled on to the field, even if he has to play on crutches with a drip coming out of his arm. Mark Noble is also fighting to be fit after a hernia operation.
The spirit within the Wigan camp was clear for all to see during their battling 1-1 draw at Villa Park, and Roberto Martinez has virtually a full squad to pick from in a game he has described as 'like a cup final'. And as a two-time winner of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, he would know.
