Alan’s Premier 10 Pick: Stoke v Aston Villa
Alan Hansen13th March 2010
Aston Villa face a tough trip to the Britannia Stadium this weekend with Martin O’Neill trying to end his record of never winning a Premier League match in March since joining the club. Martin became manager in August 2006, since then Villa’s league record in March reads - played 11, drawn 4 and lost 7. A visit to Stoke is never an easy match and it’s highly likely that Martin’s March hoodoo will continue.

Alan Hansen’s Premier 10 Pick: Burnley v Wolves
Alan Hansen13th March 2010
Burnley and Wolves meet at Turf Moor in yet another ‘6-pointer’ this weekend as both promoted sides struggle to find the consistency to climb out of trouble. Only goal difference separates the teams although the Clarets have played a game more. This promises to be an extremely close match but with time running out for both teams, I have a feeling Brian Laws’ side will grab all 3 points this weekend.

Alan Hansen’s Premier 10 Pick: Liverpool v Portsmouth
Alan Hansen13th March 2010
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez will be looking for a reaction from his players this weekend after an extremely disappointing display at the DW Stadium earlier in the week. That 1-0 defeat was the Reds first ever loss to Wigan but it was the manner of the defeat which would have disappointed Rafa. Liverpool had no real excuses for such a poor show as they had all of their star names fit and available but the passion and quality was not there. Next up is a Portsmouth team destined for the drop and there is no room for error in the chase for Champions League qualification.
-->Alan Hansen’s Premier 10 Pick: Sunderland v Man City
Alan Hansen13th March 2010
Sunderland ended their 14-match winless league run in midweek with a resounding 4-0 home victory against Bolton and how they needed it. A terrible sequence of results has seen the Black Cats slip from challenging for a European spot to facing the serious threat of a relegation battle. That win has given Steve Bruce a bit of breathing space but now they’ve finally won a match, I expect another good performance against Man City with that monkey finally off their backs.

Alan Hansen13th March 2010
Birmingham and Everton clash at St Andrews this weekend in what should be a cracking game. In some ways Alex McLeish has followed the David Moyes blueprint for Premier League success by building a hard-working, efficient, hard to beat Blues side in Everton’s image. Like the Toffees over the past few seasons, Alex has built his team on a firm defensive base and that ethic has paid off handsomely during the 2009/10 campaign.

Alan Hansen13th March 2010
Both Wigan and Bolton have given themselves some breathing space following recent victories but a win this weekend for either side would go some way to ensuring Premier League survival. The Latics will be full of confidence following an impressive first win against Liverpool in the club’s history. That victory ended Wigan’s 7-match league run without a win and should lift spirits ahead of yet another massive clash this weekend.
-->Alan Hansen’s Premier 10 Pick: Manchester Utd v Fulham
Alan Hansen13th March 2010
Manchester United host Fulham this weekend aiming for revenge against the club that inflicted their biggest defeat of the campaign. Roy Hodgson’s team humbled the champions 3-0 at Craven Cottage back in December but after a trip to Turin in midweek, Fulham’s relatively squad is likely to be stretched to the limit at Old Trafford.

Alan Hansen’s Premier 10 Pick: Chelsea v West Ham
Alan Hansen13th March 2010
Chelsea have been knocked off top spot in recent weeks as Manchester United have replaced them while Arsenal’s excellent run of form sees them level on points with Carlo Ancelotti’s team. Therefore, this weekend’s clash with West Ham is a must win in terms of boosting confidence ahead of a run of potentially tricky fixtures. Alternatively, the Hammers need to bounce back from a home defeat to Bolton which leaves Gianfranco Zola’s team just 3 points clear of the relegation zone.

Cascarino’s Champions League Preview: Chelsea v Inter Milan
Tony Cascarino, 15th March 2010I can’t wait for the Chelsea v Inter Milan match this week as even though it may not be the best game of football ever, it promises to be an intriguing clash. Personally I feel Chelsea will win the match as they have the better players and should dominate a large portion of the game but with Jose Mourinho, you never know.
Tony Cascarino: Phil Brown was ‘Lucky’ Hull Sacking Took This Long
Tony Cascarino, 15th March 2010Phil Brown has finally been relieved of his managerial position at Hull after over 3 years in charge and my only surprise is that he has lasted as long as he did. Phil was always walking the plank from the moment the new chairman arrived at the club and it seemed only a matter of time until the situation reached a head.

Alan Hansen’s Premier League Preview: Tottenham v Blackburn
Alan Hansen, 11th March 2010Tottenham remain in pole position for a 4th placed finish but with games running out, this is yet another must win for Harry Redknapp’s injury-hit team. Spurs have arguably one of the biggest and best squads in the Premier League and Harry is having to make full use of that fact with the likes of Aaron Lennon, David Bentley, Tom Huddlestone, Jermaine Jenas, Jonathan Woodgate and Ledley King all missing. Despite a number of important first teamers out, I still expect Tottenham to get the better of a Blackburn team this weekend that continues to suffer from a bad case of travel sickness.
