Martinez seeks Liverpool repeat

by Admin , 12 March 2010 football news

Wigan have no new injury problems as they head for Bolton this weekend with Roberto Martinez wanting a repeat of the Liverpool display.


The Latics boss is set to stick with the same starting line-up that earned them a historic first-ever victory over the Reds on Monday night.

Captain Mario Melchiot remains on the sidelines with a thigh problem, while January arrival Steve Gohouri continues to work towards full fitness, but everyone else is fit and raring to go.

Wigan moved four points clear of the relegation zone with the 1-0 win over Rafa Benitez's men, but Martinez wants no let-up in performance from his players against the Trotters.

The Spaniard said: "You can sometimes get a lucky result in football, but our performance against Liverpool was not lucky. It was the perfect performance. "

We were brave from the very first minute, and we showed a great determination to win the football match.

"To do that against a team like Liverpool shows what we are capable of and the talent in the squad - the challenge now is to show it on a consistent basis. "

We are quite a level-headed group, and we are already looking ahead to the Bolton game.

"The players know that if they do not repeat the performance from Monday night, then all that good work will have been for nothing."
