Birmingham City's name dreams may be all but over, but they will nevertheless be firm opposition for relegation battlers Wigan Athletic in a gathering of the two sides that will contest the FA Cup Final. Manchester City' may have little left to play for in the Premier League, however they will wish to continue regardless until their competitors Manchester United have mathematically secured the name - which can be bad news for Wigan Athletic, as the two teams meet in what will be more than simply a rehearsal for the FA Cup final. Wigan are in a decent place to escape relegation, but when they're against the likes of City at the Etihad Stadium only if they can win their games in hand - easier said than done. The Latics are still in the relegation zone and could also have problems with the dreadful effect of people not wanting to get injured ahead of their future closing. The form of famous brands Shaun Maloney, James McCarthy and Arouna Kone will give the Latics hope, but City will nevertheless be large favourites to win. Nonetheless, Wigan have history for creating a few upsets around this season - and they'll need to get it again to help keep themselves safe. Birmingham City injuries and insides In doubt: Maicon (illness), Micah Richards (leg), Jack Rodwell (hamstring), David Silva (hamstring) Wigan Athletic injuries and suspensions Out: Albert Crusat (knee), Fraser Fyvie, Ryo Miyaichi (anle), Mike Pollitt (leg), Ivan Ramis (knee). In doubt: Ben Watson (fitness) Manchester City may see Maicon and Silva reunite from harm - the former has been missing for a while while the latter was wounded in the Citizens' success over United earlier in the month. Wigan have no new injuries to enhance their long-term list of absentees, and indeed Ben Watson will make his return after having a prolonged lay-off.
