Walker's Word - Premier League Betting Sneak Peek 14/16 April 2006

There might likewise be more Midlands derby torment in store for Aston Villa on Sunday at appealing chances.

Friday 14 April

Manchester United vs Sunderland
United's rousing 2-0 success over Arsenal on Sunday was their ninth in a row and they could not have much better opponents to make it an ideal 10. If they lose, Sunderland are out of their depth at this level and will be relegated on Saturday. Kevin Ball's side took just 9 minutes to concede versus a Fulham side without an away win all season last weekend and are in danger of being on the getting end of a knocking. United's recent league record against the Black Cats at Old Trafford checks out 2-1, 4-1, 3-0, 4-0 and 5-0. Disallow the close encounter in 2002/03 season, United might well hit the three objectives needed to cover a two objective handicap but at odds-on it's no value is backing them outright at 1/10 (Bet365). If you desire a run for your money, Wayne Rooney, who was stunning versus the Gunners, could be an excellent bet to score the first goal.
Walker's Word: Wayne Rooney to score the very first goal @ 3/1.

Saturday 15 April

Bolton Wanderers vs Chelsea
Chelsea showed excellent dedication to come back from both a goal and player down to squash West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and understand they can't suffer any slip ups with Manchester United hot on their heels. Bolton have actually lost their last 4 Premiership matches in a row, although three of them were away with the house reverse coming against a resurgent United they have their work cut out to stop the rot versus Jose Mourinho's side. Chelsea have won their last two visits to the Reebok Stadium 2-0 and a comparable result is anticipated this weekend.
Walker's Word: Five beats in a row-- back Chelsea @ 8/13.

Toolbox vs West Bromwich Albion
After losing to Manchester United on Sunday, Arsenal can not pay for to lose anymore ground on 4th placed Tottenham Hotspur and optimal points are needed versus the relegation-threatened Baggies. There is no value in an Arsenal win at 2/9 specifically given that Brian Robson's side earned a 1-1 draw at Highbury last season while Thierry Henry may be rested with the Champions League semi-final against Villarreal the following week in mind. Another objective scorer bet might be finest investment here and prior to Sunday's defeat, Emmanuel Adebayor has actually scored twice in his last two matches versus Charlton and Aston Villa and is worth at odds-against to score at any time during the match.
Walker's Word: Emmanuel Adebayor to score at any time @ 5/4.

Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur
Everton are undefeated at Goodison Park this year and are on course for a leading 10 surface while Tottenham have won simply as soon as in their last 6 away matches as they aim to declare fourth spot and a potentially lucrative Champions League place. Four of the last 6 conferences in between have pair have actually been draws, although Spurs won last season 1-0 while season prior to Everton hammered them 3-1.
Walker's Word: Another stalemate looks the most likely result here @ 9/4.

Fulham vs Charlton Athletic
Fulham may be cannon fodder on their travels but at Craven Cottage they are a force to be reckoned with, winning 10 out of 16 matches on home soil and accumulating 32 of the 36 points got this season in front of their own fans. Charlton have not won at Fulham considering that 1983 and have not won away in the Premiership considering that beating Portsmouth at Fratton Park 2-1 in October.
Walker's Word: Another home win for Fulham @ 6/5.

Newcastle United vs Wigan Athletic
This is the very first time the pair have satisfied in the league at St James Park but Wigan have actually beaten the Magpies 1-0 on 2 separate occasions this season in both the Premiership and Carling Cup. While Newcastle look to have actually reversed a sticky patch with two succeeding triumphes, consisting of the derby win at Middlesbrough on Sunday, Wigan appear like a side running out of steam. They have won simply twice in their last 10 games, although both were away from house at Manchester City and Sunderland, 2 sides arguably on a drop.
Walker's Word: Newcastle to make it three wins in succession @ 5/6.

Portsmouth vs Middlesbrough
If Portsmouth are to avoid transfer then they need to make their house matches count. Pompey have won the last 2 fixtures between the pair at Fratton Park, including a 5-1 drubbing 2 seasons ago which saw now-Boro striker Yakubu score four times. 밤제 밤제 밤제 Middlesbrough have actually also played through a congested component list recently which has seen long terms in both the FA and UEFA Cup and might be susceptible to defeat a long way from home.
Walker's Word: Not appealing at odds-on, however Portsmouth @ 5/6.

West Ham United vs Manchester City
After a spectacular collapse versus 10-man Chelsea on Sunday, West Ham ought to be backed to go back to winning ways against flagging Manchester City. Stuart Pearce's side has lost 5 matches home and away in succession and have not won at Upton Park because 1991/92 in the old Division One. The Hammers lack a win in three Premiership matches at Upton Park to provide an included reward.
Walker's Word: Stuart Pearce to go psycho - West Ham @ Evens.
