Kavanagh: Wigan will settle for Premiership survival

Aston Villa 0 Wigan 2

Paul Jewell's side have exceeded all expectations by collecting 19 points from their last seven matches after losing their opening two encounters with Chelsea and Charlton. A 2-0 win at Aston Villa, courtesy of an own goal from Aaron Hughes and a stunning strike from Dubliner Alan Mahon, cemented the Latics' place in the top six.

However, midfielder Kavanagh and the other players are keeping their feet firmly on the ground and they are aware of a run of fixtures starting next month of Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United.
