Quite a lot like this actually. Exactly like this, in fact.<br /><strong>Blackburn: </strong>Robinson, Orr, Dann, Givet, Martin Olsson, Hoilett, Dunn, Lowe, Pedersen, Modeste, Yakubu. <strong>Subs: </strong>Kean, Formica, Petrovic, Nzonzi, Rochina, Marcus Olsson, Goodwillie. <br /><strong>Wigan:</strong> Al Habsi, Alcaraz, Caldwell, Figueroa, Boyce, McArthur, McCarthy, Beausejour, Moses, Di Santo, Maloney. <strong>Subs: </strong>Pollitt, Crusat, Ben Watson, Gomez, Sammon, Rodallega, Diame. <br /><strong>Referee:</strong> Mark Clattenburg.</p><!-- Block 1 --><p><strong>Pre-match ramble: </strong>Wigan are bang in form, having won five of their last seven games to drag themselves from the very cusp of disaster to the very brink of security. Blackburn are bang out of form, having lost six of their last seven games to slip from the very brink of security to the very cusp of disaster.</p><p>So these are the facts: If Wigan win, their Premier League status is secure for another season. If they draw, only a last-day goal-difference turnaround of quite ludicrous proportions will relegate them. If they lose it'll go to the final day, when they've got the most winnable fixture of any relegation-threatened side. They aren't yet safe, but they're not far off.</p><p>If Blackburn win, and then win again at Chelsea on Sunday, they might just avoid relegation. If they drop any points at all in either game, they are doomed.</p><p>The final-day relegation-region fixtures, for your information, look something like this:</p><p>Chelsea v <strong>Blackburn</strong><br />Manchester City v <strong>QPR</strong><br />Stoke v <strong>Bolton</strong><br /><strong>Wigan</strong> v Wolves</p><div class="related" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/premier-league-2011-12">Premier League 2011-12</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blackburn">Blackburn Rovers</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/wiganathletic">Wigan Athletic</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/premierleague">Premier League</a></li></ul></div><div class="author"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/simonburnton">Simon Burnton</a></div><br/><div class="terms"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk">guardian.co.uk</a> &copy; 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
