Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce admits their relegation battle is going to go right to the wire.

He said: "Yes, I think we will, I hope so. But it is tough, though, really tough.

"We had taken before Saturday something like 15 points from 11 games since we came in. We need to do that again.

"We have 12 games left - can we go and get 15? I think that would be enough, 38 usually is from what I have seen.

"If we have a little bounce of the ball and a bit of luck, which you all need, then we can remain positive that we can get out of trouble."
