Next up for Chelsea are Wigan Athletic, knowing a win over the northerners will hand them the title.

This evening the Latics played their final home game of the campaign, drawing 2-2 with Hull City to relegate their opponents to the Championship after two years in the top flight.

It took an acrobatic equaliser in stoppage time by Steve Gohouri to earn the home side a point after they had trailed 2-1 thanks to Mark Cullen’s goal following Will Atkinson’s début strike to draw Iain Dowie’s side level.

That all followed Victor Moses curling home his first goal for the Lancashire outfit.

Wigan were impressive and dominated for long periods of the match; Hull’s two goals coming largely against the run of play. Paul Scharner and the aforementioned Moses were particularly lively and will pose a real threat to the Blues on Sunday.

Chelsea’s opponents also won the reverse fixture 3-1 back in the first months of Carlo Ancelotti’s reign and the Latics have since guaranteed themselves of Premier League football.

Those who dismiss Wigan’s quality should realise the Latics only recently came from 2-0 down to beat Arsenal 3-2 at the DW Stadium thanks to a last-minute strike from the in-form Charles N’Zogbia.

Wigan have picked up five points from the last possible twelve; their only recent defeat coming at Upton Park as they lost 3-2 to West Ham.

The Latics have won just five games so far in 2010 – but two of those wins were against fellow Big Four opposition. They have taken only 11 points from the 54 available to them away from home this season – the fifth-worst record in the league.
