Wigan Athletic's success against the top four this season has manager Roberto Martinez optimistic about next term.

Survival was only assured with their dramatic comeback win over Arsenal and they are still just seven points above the relegation zone going into their last game.

Martinez, however, has seen plenty to give him reason for optimism next season. He said: "We are lacking in experience, we are lacking in know-how and that is why we are a little bit inconsistent from one week to another, depending who we are playing against and the challenge we face on the pitch.

"What pleases me is with a team like ours with young players and a new group we have been able to perform on the day against Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa away and Arsenal.

"That is where the dreams of the future should lie."
