Notes

Walker's Word - Premier League Betting Preview 14/16 April 2006
The bookmakers will prepare for a deluge of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal trebles as all 3 play probably "simple" matches although there is better worth to be found at Craven Cottage and Upton Park. There might also be more Midlands derby anguish in store for Aston Villa on Sunday at appealing chances.

Friday 14 April

Manchester United vs Sunderland
United's rousing 2-0 triumph 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 simply 9 minutes to concede versus a Fulham side without an away win all season last weekend and are in danger of being on the receiving end of a thrashing. United's current league record against the Black Cats at Old Trafford reads 2-1, 4-1, 3-0, 4-0 and 5-0. Bar the close encounter in 2002/03 season, United might well strike the three goals necessary to cover a two goal handicap but at odds-on it's no worth is backing them outright at 1/10 (Bet365). If you desire a run for your cash, Wayne Rooney, who was spectacular versus the Gunners, could be an excellent bet to score the very first goal.
dc달밤 Walker's Word: Wayne Rooney to score the first goal @ 3/1.

Saturday 15 April

Bolton Wanderers vs Chelsea
Chelsea showed excellent commitment to come back from both an objective and player down to crush West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and know they can't suffer any slip ups with Manchester United hot on their heels. Bolton have lost their last four Premiership matches in a row, although 3 of them were away with the house reverse coming against a resurgent United they have their work eliminated to stop the rot versus Jose Mourinho's side. Chelsea have actually won their last 2 visits to the Reebok Stadium 2-0 and a similar outcome 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 any more ground on fourth positioned Tottenham Hotspur and optimal points are required versus the relegation-threatened Baggies. There is no value in an Arsenal win at 2/9 especially considering 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 versus Villarreal the following week in mind. Another goal scorer bet could be best financial investment here and prior to Sunday's defeat, Emmanuel Adebayor has actually scored twice in his last 2 matches versus Charlton and Aston Villa and is value at odds-against to score at any time throughout the match.
Walker's Word: Emmanuel Adebayor to score at any time @ 5/4.

Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur
Everton are unbeaten at Goodison Park this year and are on course for a top 10 surface while Tottenham have won just as soon as in their last six away matches as they aim to claim fourth area and a possibly profitable Champions League place. 4 of the last 6 conferences in between have pair have 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 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 considered, winning 10 out of 16 matches on home soil and collecting 32 of the 36 points acquired this season in front of their own fans. Charlton have actually not won at Fulham considering that 1983 and have not won away in the Premiership because beating Portsmouth at Fratton Park 2-1 in October.
Walker's Word: Another house win for Fulham @ 6/5.

Newcastle United vs Wigan Athletic
This is the very first time the set have satisfied in the league at St James Park but Wigan have beaten the Magpies 1-0 on 2 separate occasions this season in both the Premiership and Carling Cup. While Newcastle aim to have reversed a sticky spot with two successive success, including 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 far from house at Manchester City and Sunderland, two sides perhaps on a downtrend.
Walker's Word: Newcastle to make it 3 wins in succession @ 5/6.

Portsmouth vs Middlesbrough
If Portsmouth are to avoid transfer then they need to make their home matches count. Pompey have actually won the last 2 components in between the pair at Fratton Park, including a 5-1 drubbing 2 seasons ago which saw now-Boro striker Yakubu score 4 times. Middlesbrough have likewise played through an overloaded component list recently which has seen long runs in both the FA and UEFA Cup and might be susceptible to beat a long method from house.
Walker's Word: Not attractive at odds-on, however Portsmouth @ 5/6.

West Ham United vs Manchester City
After a sensational collapse versus 10-man Chelsea on Sunday, West Ham should be backed to return to winning ways versus flagging Manchester City. Stuart Pearce's side has lost five matches house and away in succession and have not won at Upton Park considering that 1991/92 in the old Division One. The Hammers are without a win in three Premiership matches at Upton Park to give them an included reward.
Walker's Word: Stuart Pearce to go psycho - West Ham @ Evens.

Sunday 16 April

Aston Villa vs Birmingham City
An enhancing Birmingham side have actually delighted in the better of the results in recent derbies, winning two times and drawing once at Villa Park in the last three seasons. Birmingham are unbeaten in their last three however have not won away considering that their 1-0 victory at Sunderland in November.

Kevin Ball's side took just nine minutes to yield against a Fulham side without an away win all season last weekend and are in risk of being on the receiving end of a knocking. There is no worth in an Arsenal win at 2/9 specifically considering that Brian Robson's side made a 1-1 draw at Highbury last season while Thierry Henry might be rested with the Champions League semi-final versus Villarreal the following week in mind. They have won simply twice in their last 10 games, although both were away from home at Manchester City and Sunderland, 2 sides perhaps on a downtrend.
