Wigan's victory keeps pressure on Sunderland, Newcastle and Norwich

Have Wigan begun their long awaited charge? The late equaliser against Spurs should have alerted their rivals that they weren't going to go down with a whimper, and victory at West Brom today, after twice being behind, will set alarm bells ringing in the North East and in Norfolk.

Norwich host West Brom next week, and the Baggies are an unpredictable outfit, as their victory at Southampton showed last week. The Canaries must pick up at least one point from that game because they finish at the Etihad - and you wouldn't fancy their chances of getting anything there even if their lives depended upon it!

Newcastle might also live to regret today's result. At face value, a point at Upton Park was satisfactory, but should Pardew's Posers slip up at QPR, their last game at home to Arsenal will be fraught with danger.

Sunderland have an easier run in, but who knows how Il Duce's troops will cope under pressure. And Wigan's run in is the easiest of the lot. There's more water to flow under the relegation bridge yet!
