Wigan keeper Chris Kirkland has warned high-flying Manchester City to expect another difficult game at the DW Stadium this weekend. After two early defeats Wigan have won their last two at the DW Stadium and Kirkland aims to extend that run.

"Every game in this league is tough - it doesn't matter where you go or who you play, anyone can beat anyone," Kirkland said.

"We just have to make sure we have the right attitude, hopefully get the fans behind us and make it a good day.

"People are starting to say the DW is now a fortress. We made it that a couple of years ago and we want to make it as difficult as we can for teams to visit.

"It will be tough but if you apply yourself well you give yourself half a chance."
