Liverpool victory can be the catalyst for Wigan's survival - Al Habsi

Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi suggests the weekend's win over Liverpool at Anfield can be the means to survival for the club this season.

The victory allowed the Latics to join third-bottom QPR on 25 points and move three clear of bottom-of-the-table Wolves and with eight matches remaining, the Omani feels it could be the turning point for the club to stay up this term.

"Of course we can do it," Al Habsi told the Evening Post. "We have another eight cup finals to go and the performance at Liverpool will hopefully give us the push we need.

"The fans were amazing on Saturday and we'll need them again this weekend against Stoke.

"One big push is all we need to stay in this division - we did it last year and I'm sure we can do it again."
