Thursday, April 29th, 2010

With Chelsea facing a tough trip to Anfield, Manchester United travel to the Stadium of Light for a must-win match with Sunderland.

Alan Hansen’s Premier League Preview: Man City v Aston Villa

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Manchester City take on Aston Villa in a massive game at Eastlands which is crucial to the race for fourth place. Martin O’Neill’s Villans have played their way back into the race with three successive wins and will now fancy their chances of upsetting City who have now lost two of their last four at home after previously being unbeaten at Eastlands. Villa have won their last three and with Tottenham and Man City set to play each other in midweek in their games in hand, they need to win again.

Alan Hansen’s Premier League Preview: Tottenham v Bolton

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Tottenham’s hold on fourth spot is far more precarious after a disappointing defeat at Manchester United last weekend but with three games to go, a home match with Bolton is surely a must-win match. With two away trips to follow at Manchester City and Burnley, Harry Redknapp will be hoping his team can get the three points to set up their midweek trip to Eastlands perfectly. With City and Aston Villa set to face each other, a big win for Spurs could put them in an even stronger position. However, the pressure is now off Owen Coyle’s team and they’ve shown in recent away games that they can be tricky opposition.

Alan Hansen’s Premier 10 Preview: Arsenal v Man City

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

It has been a bad few weeks for Arsenal having crashed out of the Champions League and having their title dreams ended for another season following back to back league defeats. Injuries have hit the Gunners hard this season and now striker Robin Van Persie has returned, Arsene Wenger has to cope with losing central defender Thomas Vermaelen. That has left Arsenal with a veteran central defensive partnership of Mikael Silvestre and Sol Campbell which will give Manchester City’s potent strikers hopes of causing a relative upset this weekend.

Alan Hansen’s Premier 10 Preview: Chelsea v Stoke

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Any ideas that the title race was all but over were blown away last Saturday as Manchester United closed the gap between themselves and leaders Chelsea to a point. Carlo Ancelotti’s side had been in a rich free-scoring vein of form prior to the trip to Tottenham but what will worry the Italian most is not just the defeat but the manner of it. Spurs could have comfortably won by a number of goals on the day as they tore open the Chelsea defence at will while few Blues players emerged with any credit for a surprisingly lacklustre display.
