Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez has insisted he is unconcerned about the position of his side in the league.
The Latics host Liverpool on Monday night having failed to win in their last seven league games. They are currently in 16th place, just a point above the relegation zone.
Asked if he was perturbed about his team’s precarious position, Martinez said: "No, because it is always about ourselves. It's going to be a really tight finish.
“You are looking at probably one of the most exciting Premier League campaigns ever.
"Three teams are trying to win the title, then you have four teams going for fourth spot and eight teams trying to avoid relegation.
"It is about reaching certain standards, being consistent with them and not allowing your football to be affected by your position in the table.
"But I feel that the group we have now is as strong as it has been all season, we have come a long, long way and probably now we are one result away from really finishing the season strong.
"We are in the middle of a period where a couple of big decisions went against us and we couldn't really react to that.
"But it is the time to focus on ourselves and make sure that we affect the games so we get those decisions going our way."
