Wigan Athletic midfielder James McCarthy feels their relegation battle will go to the wire.

The Glaswegian believes the relegation battle may well go down to the last day of the season when they take on Aston Villa.

"It is in our own hands and if we go about our business the right way then we'll be fine," he said.

"We have the experience of being in this position before and we have a good squad who will be giving it our all.

"Hopefully we get enough points not to go into the last game against Aston Villa needing a result but if we do then so be it."
