Wigan boss Martinez goes with kids for Cup ahead of crunch West Brom clash

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez will go with his kids in their FA Cup tie against Bolton Wanderers.

With a vital relegation game at West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday, Martinez clearly has his reasons for resting key players.

So Callum McManaman, Jordan Mustoe and Daniel Redmond, all 18, are expected to feature in today's fourth-round clash at the Reebok.

Martinez said: "I understand the frustration of the fans. If we had been playing badly then I would be concerned.

"But I'm the opposite. We have shown we can play good football and I'm excited about the challenge that lies ahead.

"We've got two vital games in the Premier League coming up against West Brom and Blackburn - and we're going to use this FA Cup tie to help us prepare for those games."
