The Latics 0-0 draw against bottom side Barnsley saw them move nine points clear of the drop zone.

But more good results in their remaining three games could see them safe with or without the points penalty.

Hull City, who are third bottom, were beaten 1-0 at home by Millwall, while Charlton lost 1-0 against Reading at the Valley. That keeps the Addicks in 18th spot just a point above safety.

Neil Warnock's Middlesbrough lost 3-1 against Bristol City at the Riverside to leave them two points above the drop zone in 18th spot.
