Wigan Athletic skipper Arjan De Zeeuw says he hopes Blackburn Rovers danger man Craig Bellamy has a stinker on Monday night.
Bellamy has been in fine form for Rovers as they push for fourth spot in The Premiership and former Portsmouth defender De Zeeuw knows he could be in for a tough night at Ewood Park.
The live Sky Sports 1 clash pits the experienced Dutchman against the speedy Wales striker.
"We're going to have to have a good day, to be fair, and hopefully he'll have a stinker!" De Zeeuw told Sky Sports News.
"No, to be fair, he is a good player so obviously we'll think about how to defend against him and try to deny the space for him really."
Wigan boss Paul Jewell is hoping his side continue their impressive away form in the league.
"Only Chelsea and Manchester United, I think, have better away records than us," Jewell explained to Sky Sports News.
"We enjoy playing away from home.
"We've taken the game to the opposition in all the matches, bar one or two, and it shows we can play on the break and cause teams problems."
