Walker's Word - Premier League Betting Preview 22/23 April 2006
A glut of home wins dominates this weekend's predictions and Sunderland could include another twist to the relegation battle at big chances. Love them or hate them, Chelsea will remain in the FA Cup last in addition to Middlesbrough writes David Walker.

Saturday 22 April

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur

The Gunners have won the last 6 home Premiership fixtures versus Spurs and 7 out of 13 general. Tottenham Hotspur have actually not had any delight at Highbury given that the Premiership began in 1992/93 when they won 3-1.
Walker's Word: Arsenal to close the space @ 4/5.

Bolton Wanderers vs Charlton Athletic

Bolton ended a run of five successive league beats with a goalless draw against West Brom on Monday and this match could be a comparable yawnfest. Two of the 4 last meetings between these sides have actually produced goalless draws while Charlton seem to like a 0-0 result as it has included in five of their last 10 Premiership matches.
Walker's Word: Another bore draw @ 23/10 and and 0-0 @ 17/2.

Everton vs Birmingham City

If they are to survive in the Premiership and are unlikely to get any favours this Saturday, Birmingham City are running out of video games. Steve Bruce's side have not won at Everton given that winning promotion to the leading flight however have drawn 1-1 twice in the last three meetings. Their chances of triumph are slim and they have not won at Goodison Park since 1957 and have actually lost 11 times on the roadway this season.
Walker's Word: Home win @ 11/10.

Newcastle United vs West Bromwich Albion

The Magpies have won both Premiership conferences at St James Park while the Baggies have actually not won there because 1977. Bryan Robson's side have won away from home when all season and are not likely to improve that record this weekend.
Walker's Word: Five on the spin for Newcastle @ 4/5.

Portsmouth vs Sunderland

On first glance this appears like an ensured home win. Portsmouth had actually won 6 on the bounce until they crashed 2-1 at Charlton on Bank Holiday Monday while Sunderland have absolutely nothing to bet after being relegated. Right? 밤의제국 Incorrect. Portsmouth might have hammered Sunderland 4-1 at the Stadium of Light back in October but have not beaten them at Fratton Park in the league considering that 1992. Ever since, Sunderland have won 3 out of five gos to, including 2 4-1 wins. Contribute to that the fact Sunderland have nothing to lose while Portsmouth might succumb to nerves and you have a very yummy away victory proposition and at big chances to boot. There might be another twist to the relegation fight yet.
Walker's Word: Sunderland to trigger a shock @ 8/1.

FA Cup

Chelsea vs Liverpool

Chelsea have a flawless home record against Liverpool which puts them in lead for a place in the FA Cup final. The Blues have won 10 out of 14 Premiership meetings at Stamford Bridge, losing simply as soon as, 1-0, in 2004. Chelsea have actually been beaten just once inside 90 minutes in the house this season, against Barcelona in the Champions League and have won 17 out of 18 Premiership matches in front of their own fans. This is the very first time the set have actually satisfied in the FA Cup since 1997, when Chelsea fought back from 2-0 down to win 4-2.
Walker's Word: Chelsea to march on @ 6/5.

Sunday 23 April

Middlesbrough vs West Ham United

The bookies have actually priced up West Ham as favourites offered their positional superiority in the Premiership, however seem to have actually overlooked the reality that the Hammers have not won at Middlesbrough in the Premiership. Steve McClaren's side have actually won 7 out of eight meetings with West Ham's last victory at Middlesbrough coming in 1990 when both sides were in the old 2nd division.
Walker's Word: Boro's house record to prevail @ 6/4.

The Gunners have won the last 6 home Premiership fixtures versus Spurs and 7 out of 13 general. Steve Bruce's side have not won at Everton considering that winning promotion to the top flight however have drawn 1-1 twice in the last 3 conferences. The Magpies have won both Premiership conferences at St James Park while the Baggies have actually not won there considering that 1977. Since then, Sunderland have actually won 3 out of 5 gos to, consisting of 2 4-1 wins. Chelsea have been beaten just as soon as inside 90 minutes at home this season, versus Barcelona in the Champions League and have actually won 17 out of 18 Premiership matches in front of their own fans.
