Preview: Wigan Athletic v Barnsley

CHAMPIONS Wigan plan to sign off the season in style by hitting the ton against Barnsley.

Paul Jewell's men will be presented with the trophy after the game to cap a brilliant season that will see them reach 100 points if they beat the Tykes

Jewell, though, is just hoping to enjoy the occasion, saying: "Barnsley are safe from relegation so they are playing under no pressure.

"It all makes for a good way to round off the season and I just hope we give a performance worthy of the occasion."
