>> Wigan Athletic FC

To be or not to be? Wigan Athletic have a huge say in who will be crowned English champions on Sunday afternoon and face current champions Manchester United.

After his first team return in the 2-0 away win over Aston Villa, Titus Bramble is ready to put in another good performance against Manchester United at the JJB Stadium on Sunday.

Emile Heskey believes £10m rated midfielder Luis Antonio Valencia can reach the very top in European football but hopes the Latics can hang on to the Ecuadorian midfielder for next season.

Josip Skoko, 32, will not have his Wigan Athletic contract renewed and will have to leave English football as the terms of his work permit will not allow a move.

Steve Bruce has confirmed that Honduran international Hendry Thomas will join Wilson Palacios and Maynor Figeuroa at the JJB Stadium next season after a fee of 1 million euros was agreed for the midfielder.

After guiding the Latics to Premiership safety, Steve Bruce will be rewarded with a bonus of £1 million by chairman Dave Whelan. Bruce has transformed the Latics during his 23 games in charge.

Egyptian international striker Amr Zaki is said to be close to a move to the Latics with Steve Bruce impressed by Zaki as he played for El Zamalek in their 5-1 victory over Aluminum.

After assuring survival in the Premiership yesterday, Latics boss Steve Bruce urged his star players to stay with the Latics as he desires to turn the Latics into a top half side next term.

With safety assured and Ferguson's former captain at the helm, the Latics will be expected to roll over next week as United go for the title. Wigan supporters however want all three points and a Chelsea title.

Photographs from the fantastic 2-0 away win over Aston Villa have been added to the WIGANER.net gallery. A second half brace from Antonio Valencia secured safety for the Latics.
