Mid-week fixtures...
Our team of previewers
look at the Premier League's latest offerings - as four top flight fixtures take place between Monday and Wednesday. Monday night sees the division's two Spaniards face off, each desperate
for points in their respective battles - Roberto Martinez has been thrown in at the deep end this year, and his Wigan side
are just a point above the relegation zone. Their pretty football hasn't proved effective yet and the visit of Liverpool,
a point off fourth, will be another tough test. Relegation
contenders Pompey, Bolton and Sunderland are all in action on Tuesday, before second-bottom Burnley host Stoke on Wednesday.

Ger
McCarthy reflects on another entertaining weekend of football, with his attention split between the FA Cup and the
Premiership schedules. In the cup Ger's romantic side is warmed by Portsmouth's journey to Wembley, in spite
of their off-field troubles. Aston Villa's second-half comeback ruined the progress of Championship side Reading, though,
showing that not every FA Cup tie prompts a fairytale result. The Premiership title race remains wide open, with Arsenal and Man United both
winning - United going two points clear of Chelsea atop the table, the Blues with a game in hand, though.
Tom
Scargill does the unenviable job of trying to assess England's World Cup chances impartially. As every other Englishman
knows, and is likely to tell you, Fabio Capello's men are as well equipped as they have been in recent years. With the
fading forces of Germany, France, Italy and even Brazil - to an extent before you lodge your complaints - many feel that South Africa
2010 could be the year of the Three Lions. Read our official
pre-tournament preview on the link above. Anyone else struggling to contain their excitement?
