Wigan Athletic welcome Liverpool FC to the DW Stadium on Monday with midfielder Lucas Leiva looking to maintain what he believes is his continued progress this season.
Lucas reckons his side's travails this season have helped his progression into a first-team player.
The 23-year-old is one of just three Reds players to have figured in every Premier League game so far this season alongside Pepe Reina and Dirk Kuyt.
Lucas told LFC Weekly: "I've learned a lot more about myself and become a stronger person and player. It made me desperate to prove people wrong.
"There have been times (in the past) when I thought I may have made the wrong decision but now I am sure that I have made the right one.
"My game has changed a lot since leaving Brazil. I was able to attack more at Gremio because I played with two defensive midfielders. In England you have more responsibility.
"I still think I have some work to do if all the fans are going to believe in me. I'm happy and feel I'm improving. But it isn't about me, it's about the club doing well."
