AVRAM GRANT expects Wigan to go for broke against Manchester United on Sunday - in the best traditions of English football.

Even though Wigan are managed by former Old Trafford favourite Steve Bruce, the Chelsea coach expects them to give their all.

Grant said: "For more than 30 years I've visited English football, at least five times a year since I was a boy," said the Chelsea boss.

"Even when I didn't have much money I came here. One thing I like is that you play football until the end, not like other countries.

"Sometimes I'm too positive and too optimistic, but I believe in the traditions of English football.

"We need to win first and it's not easy for them to play at Wigan. I don't believe that Bruce will give the game to Manchester United.

"Maybe we can win 18-0 on Sunday, if we play against a team that will let us. I don't think so, though."

Chelsea captain John Terry said: "Wigan will do the Premier League justice and they will go out there wanting to beat Manchester United.

"Wigan are safe now - hopefully, with a great manager like Steve Bruce, they are going to go for it.

"We have still got a tough game at home to Bolton, but if we pick up the three points, as we did today, we have got a very good chance."
