Football Focus - 11/10/2008

Manish Bhasin, Mark Lawrenson and Martin Keown look ahead to the latest World Cup qualifiers, as the home nations continue on the road to South Africa 2010. England, on top of Group 6 after their magnificent 4-1 win in Croatia, play Kazakhstan for the first time. Fabio Capello's men should have few problems at Wembley against a side that have lost two of their opening three games. Wales must surely look for maximum points at home to Liechtenstein - especially as they face a trip to group favourites Germany in midweek. Scotland's task looks considerably tougher; George Burley's side play Norway, who beat the Scots 1-0 at Hampden in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers. And what of Northern Ireland's chances? They travel to Slovenia for the first time, looking to rediscover the form that came close to taking them to Euro 2008. Nigel Worthington's side have picked up one point from two games so far and can't afford another slip-up.
