Aston Villa 1 vs 1 Wigan Athletic
Wigan remain precariously placed in their relegation fight after a draw with Aston Villa, who appear to have guaranteed top-flight survival.
Latics winger Charles N'Zogbia angled in a shot after a Victor Moses lay-off to put the visitors ahead early on.
But Ashley Young steered a low 22-yard strike into the bottom corner in reply.

Everton 2 vs 1 Man City
Everton brought Manchester City's march towards the Champions League to an abrupt halt with a stirring comeback at Goodison Park.
Yaya Toure's first-half goal appeared to set City on course for a win that would have virtually guaranteed a place in the top four as they exerted total domination over the Toffees.
Former City defender Sylvain Distin headed Everton's equaliser from Mikel Arteta's free-kick after 65 minutes with goalkeeper Joe Hart at fault - and as Roberto Mancini's men rocked under increasing pressure, Leon Osman rose spectacularly to beat City captain Vincent Kompany and head the winner seven minutes later.

Newcastle 2 vs 1 Birmingham
Goals from Shola Ameobi and Steven Taylor gave Newcastle victory over 10-man Birmingham, who remain perilously close to the Premier League drop zone.
Ameobi scored from the spot after Liam Ridgewell was sent off by referee Chris Foy for using his arm to clear Fabricio Coloccini's goalbound header.
Taylor then made it 2-0 when he headed in Joey Barton's corner.
Lee Bowyer pulled one back before half-time with a deflected shot while Seb Larsson scooped over late on.
