[Team for Wigan unchanged, Berardi starts]
Bielsa here
Let's see what he has to say...
Team news?
We're going to play with the same team. Cooper needs a chance to come back to the team, it is very difficult for him to play.
Pivotal time?
I want to be key and decisive in knowing the mathematical possibilities. For sure in the next two games we must concentrate.
Title hopes, possibly?
Our objective is to be focused on the three points of each game. After the games we can adapt to the reality of the table.
Wigan?
They're a team who have the possibility to be better than where they are in the table. It's a situation that we talk about a lot, it's competitive. A lot of the time teams play against each other and there isn't a lot of difference.
What is your message to the players?
The difficulty of each game doesn't link to the table. The difference between the numbers between the teams aren't relative to the game. They need to be focused on the game we are playing, not ones we have to play.

Sheffield United?
During all the season all the teams live this situation. All the teams are playing sometimes better and sometimes worse. During the season all the teams suffer injuries and lose players.

Wigan, played well against Norwich?
They played a game where they tried to own the game with ambitions and it was a positive game.

Thoughts on Bogusz?
He's a very young player. He has played a few games only. You need to use some analysis. But analysis you cannot do in some moments. He had a good performance in the last game.

We aren’t really missing Douglas to be fair.
He isn’t available, that’s not the same thing

Alioski has been a revelation at LB. The moment he switched to LB halfway through a match this season (could have been Brentford at home) everyone could see it.
He is FAR better with the game in front of him, he also has energy and commitment beyond belief at times.
