Wigan Athletic return home looking to bounce back from a loss on the road when they face-off against West Ham United in Premier League week 28. The Hammers were also in action over the weekend but in their case they held serve at home.

The home side Wigan Athletic dropped the 3 points by a score of 2-1 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. That was the second of two successive away days for the Latics and they were only able to bring home 1 point out of 6 from their trip. The side managed by Steve Bruce have now dropped to 8th place in th

e Premier League with 35 points. On the injury front, Wigan Athetlic will be without De Ridder as Valencia remains doubtful.

West Ham United scored a huge win at home over the weekend when they brushed aside Manchester City by a score of 1-0 at the Boleyn Ground. It was a nice way for the side managed by Gianfranco Zola to bounce back from a loss away to Bolton Wanderers last week by a score of 2-1 at Reebok Stadium. Thanks to their victory West Ham United were able to leap-frog over this week’s opponent- Wigan Athetlic- into 7th place of the Premier League table with 36 points.

West Ham have won both their games under new manager Gianfranco Zola. The former Chelsea player will try to extend the run when they host Bolton.

A win today will see West Ham go into 1st place, well at least for 90 minutes until Chelsea and Liverpool finish.

West Ham news: Craig Bellamy is pushing for a starting place in the first XI, although it is likely Zola will stick to Cole and Di Michele up front. Dean Ashton is still out with an injury, as is Kieron Dyer. Zola’s concerns will mainly be the defence, conceding a goal in almost every match lately.

Bolton news: Gary Megson who spoke highly of both Zola and his predecessor Curbishley will try to win the game at Upton Park as he has lanuched a health programme at the Reebok Stadium. Matt Taylor will be back in contention despite not having played any reserve game. According to Megson, Matthew Taylor is the fittest player they have. The manager admitted Bolton have had problems winning away but will try to collect at least one point against the Londoners.

West Ham United still have the best home record in the Barclays Premier League with three wins from three and secured their first away win of the season at Craven Cottage last Saturday. Bolton, meanwhile, have the worst away record in the league – losing all three away from the Reebok Stadium.

Our bet: 3-1.

I would say that Bolton are looking at relegation, but it may have been a different story if Big Sam had stayed, raising Bolton from a yo yo club to a top 6 side.

Megson clearly is not the right man for the job as a premier league manager, so will Bolton beg Big Sam to come back?
Bolton welcome West Ham to the Reebok Stadium this Saturday amidst reports that boss Gary Megson is on his way out.

With just five games to go before the Premiership season ends, the Trotters are four points away from safety and there appears to be no way out for them. Regular keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen is out for the season and in his absence the team has conceded nine goals in four games.

West Ham will be keen to bounce back from a mid-week 1-0 defeat to Portsmouth. The Hammers season has been ruined by multiple injury concerns, but boss Alan Curbishley will still be happy that his side are in the top half of the league table
