The weekend’s upcoming fixtures are crucial in terms of the relegation battle; five points seperate 13th placed West Brom and bottom placed Wigan. Wigan are on 31 points which was the total that some teams went down on last year; this total has already been reached by the Latics but they find themselves at the foot of the table with seven games to play. Manchester United have opened up a seven point gap over second placed strugglers Arsenal, and face Fulham at Old Trafford today which would usually look like a formality. But Wayne Rooney starts the first of his two game ban for his swearing rant into a TV camera last weekend at Upton Park and will only be able to watch from the stands, alongside his manager as Ferguson misses his third successive league game resulting from his own ban.
