Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Wigan!

Wigan keeper Al Habsi, who starts between the sticks today, was the star of the reverse fixture just before Christmas as the relegation battlers held the Europe chasers to a goalless draw at the DW.

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez: "The next nine games are crucial for us and there is nothing really that we have to do different. We have to be consistent in the good things we have done and not lose focus in terms of keeping producing chances, because if you do that, in a moment we can change that little bit of luck in front of goal and start collecting more points."

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish on a 3-2 loss to QPR in midweek: "We need to find the answers and make sure that we go on and we learn from it. We were so constructive for so many parts of that game. We've conceded from a set-play, a cross and a mistake right at the death. I don't think anyone in their right mind would say we deserved that. We don't have an explanation for it but we can only do what we have done right."
