Melchiot rallies Wigan

Mario Melchiot insists now is the time for his team-mates to show their professionalism as managerless Wigan prepare to face Tottenham on Sunday.

The Latics have lost their last six Premier League games and are 18th in the table ahead of their trip to White Hart Lane, with Frank Barlow in temporary charge of first-team affairs following the sacking of Chris Hutchings on Monday, ending his six years as part of the Latics coaching staff.
