Fletcher back in the frame as Wigan seek revenge

Darren Fletcher will not allow the disappointment at missing out on Manchester United's Carling Cup victory last week to wreck the remainder of his season.

Despite making 37 appearances this season, and starring in four of their five League Cup ties, Fletcher was not even on the bench for the final. But he said: "I don't feel down because I cannot change what happened. All I can do is focus on my own performance in training and try to impress the manager enough to get back into the side."

Fletcher has been part of the Old Trafford set-up since heading south from his native Edinburgh as a teenager, and will be on duty tonight as Wigan seek revenge for their Cardiff humiliation. Jewell is without his first-choice goalkeeper Mike Pollitt, who is still suffering from the hamstring injury he sustained in Cardiff, so John Filan starts his first League game since mid-November.

Elsewhere, the former United striker Dwight Yorke has won a winner's medal in the inaugural Australasian A-League championship with Sydney FC's 1-0 win over Central Coast in Sunday's Grand Final.
