Football Focus - 18/10/2008

Manish Bhasin, Mark Lawrenson, Lee Dixon and Martin Keown preview the weekend's domestic fixtures and also look back at the World Cup qualifiers that took place last week. In today's Premier League fixtures, Steve Bruce's Wigan are looking for their first-ever win over Liverpool - they face a daunting task at Anfield but can take courage from the memory of earning their first ever point against the Reds at their famous home last season. It's 30 years since West Brom last beat Manchester United at Old Trafford but the Baggies get another try today. Bolton defeated Blackburn at the Reebok Stadium two months into the new century but have failed to beat their local rivals at home on the nine occasions since then - can they break that duck this afternoon? In the Championship, early pace-setters Wolves host Coventry while Preston and Reading meet at Deepdale. In Scotland, both Celtic and Rangers are in action - Gordon Strachan's side travel to Inverness for the lunchtime kick-off while Rangers host Dundee United. And it's the Edinburgh derby on Sunday with Hibernian meeting Hearts at Easter Road.
