Wigan Athletic captain Mario Melchiot is confident they will beat the drop.

Melchiot insists the Wigan squad have the belief that they can stay up.

"Everyone knows we are a great side, we've all got that belief," Melchiot told the club's website.

"The only thing is that we just haven't had the luck you need at this level to help us get what we've deserved.

"It's all still in our own hands which is the most important thing, and that's the situation you want going into the final games of the season."
