Wigan boss Martinez: All pressure on West Ham

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez insists all the pressure is on West Ham United ahead of their relegation clinker.

Anything less than three points for the Hammers could end their survival campaign. But Martinez believes the onus is on Avram Grant's team to take the points.

"It goes without saying that it is a massive game," he said, "but I'm not sure it is decisive for us.

"Having said that, it's a cup final within a league and it's certainly exciting.

"But I think we possibly need four points out of six and we still have to go to Stoke City on the final day.

"I think 40 points will be safety this season. That's what we are working towards. And we have two matches to achieve that target."
