Walker's Word - Premier League Betting Preview 14/16 April 2006
The bookmakers will expect a deluge of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal trebles as all three play perhaps "easy" matches although there is much better value to be discovered at Craven Cottage and Upton Park. There might also be more Midlands derby anguish in shop for Aston Villa on Sunday at appealing chances.

Friday 14 April

Manchester United vs Sunderland
United's rousing 2-0 victory over Arsenal on Sunday was their ninth in a row and they could not have much better challengers 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 yield versus a Fulham side without an away win all season last weekend and are in threat 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. Disallow the close encounter in 2002/03 season, United could well hit the 3 objectives necessary to cover a 2 objective handicap however at odds-on it's no worth is backing them outright at 1/10 (Bet365). If you want a run for your money, Wayne Rooney, who was stunning against the Gunners, might be an excellent bet to score the very first goal.

Saturday 15 April

Bolton Wanderers vs Chelsea
Chelsea showed terrific dedication to come back from both an objective and gamer down to crush 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 lost their last four Premiership matches in a row, although 3 of them were away with the home reverse coming versus a resurgent United they have their work eliminated to stop the rot against Jose Mourinho's side. Chelsea have actually won their last two sees to the Reebok Stadium 2-0 and a comparable result is expected this weekend.
Walker's Word: Five defeats in a row-- back Chelsea @ 8/13.

Arsenal vs West Bromwich Albion
After losing to Manchester United on Sunday, Arsenal can not afford to lose anymore ground on 4th put Tottenham Hotspur and maximum points are needed against the relegation-threatened Baggies. There is no value in an Arsenal win at 2/9 especially given that Brian Robson's side earned 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. Another objective scorer bet could be best investment here and prior to Sunday's defeat, Emmanuel Adebayor has scored two times in his last 2 matches against 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 unbeaten at Goodison Park this year and are on course for a leading 10 surface while Tottenham have actually won just when in their last six away matches as they make every effort to claim 4th spot and a possibly financially rewarding Champions League place. Four of the last six conferences between have pair have been draws, although Spurs won last season 1-0 while season before Everton hammered them 3-1.
Walker's Word: Another stalemate looks the likely outcome here @ 9/4.

Fulham vs Charlton Athletic
Fulham may be cannon fodder on their travels however at Craven Cottage they are a force to be considered, winning 10 out of 16 matches on house soil and accumulating 32 of the 36 points got this season in front of their own fans. Charlton have not won at Fulham given that 1983 and have not won away in the Premiership given 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 however Wigan have actually beaten the Magpies 1-0 on two different occasions this season in both the Premiership and Carling Cup. While Newcastle want to have actually turned around a sticky patch with 2 succeeding 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 video games, although both were away from home at Manchester City and Sunderland, 2 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 relegation then they need to make their house matches count. Pompey have actually won the last 2 components in between the set at Fratton Park, including a 5-1 drubbing two seasons ago which saw now-Boro striker Yakubu score four times. Middlesbrough have actually likewise played through a busy component list just recently which has seen long terms in both the FA and UEFA Cup and might be susceptible to defeat a long method from house.
Walker's Word: Not appealing at odds-on, but Portsmouth @ 5/6.

West Ham United vs Manchester City
After a sensational collapse against 10-man Chelsea on Sunday, West Ham must be backed to go back to winning methods against flagging Manchester City. Stuart Pearce's side has actually lost 5 matches house and away in succession and have not won at Upton Park considering that 1991/92 in the old Division One. The Hammers lack a win in three Premiership matches at Upton Park to provide an added incentive.
Walker's Word: Stuart Pearce to go psycho - West Ham @ Evens.

Sunday 16 April

Aston Villa vs Birmingham City
Vacation home host their 2nd Midlands derby in a week and again might not provide their supporters much to cheer about. An improving Birmingham side have delighted in the much better of the lead to recent derbies, winning two times and drawing when at Villa Park in the last 3 seasons. Vacation home have kept 3 succeeding clean sheets on house soil, consisting of two goalless draws, so another low scoring encounter is anticipated. Birmingham are unbeaten in their last 3 however have actually not won away since their 1-0 success at Sunderland in November.

Kevin Ball's side took just 9 minutes to concede against a Fulham side without an away win all season last weekend and are in danger of being on the getting end of a thrashing. There is no value in an Arsenal win at 2/9 specifically 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. They have actually won just two times in their last 10 video games, although both were away from home at Manchester City and Sunderland, two sides probably on a sag.
