Wigan Athletic host Hull City in the first match on Monday, and then Arsenal travel to Blackburn Rovers as the Barclays Premier League enters the last seven days of the season.

Wigan Athletic v Hull City

Hull City are all but mathematically relegated as they trail West Ham United by six points with a vastly inferior goal difference.

This is the 20th time the teams have met, with Wigan leading by eight wins to six.

However, Hull are looking to complete a league double over Wigan for the first time in their history.

Hull are the only side in the Barclays Premier League without an away win this season.

Wigan have won just once in their last five matches, a 3-2 victory against Arsenal.

Blackburn Rovers v Arsenal

Arsenal have scored 19 goals against Blackburn in the last five meetings between the teams.

The Gunners triumphed 6-2 at the Emirates Stadium earlier in the season, with six different players on the score sheet.

Rovers have lost just three times at home all season, and harbour hopes of finishing ninth in the league. They are currently 11th, three points behind Birmingham City.

Morten Gamst Pedersen struck the last time Blackburn beat Arsenal in the league in February 2006.
