Walker's Word - Premier League Betting Preview 22/23 April 2006
A glut of home wins controls this weekend's predictions and Sunderland might add another twist to the transfer battle at big odds. Love them or hate them, Chelsea will remain in the FA Cup final along with Middlesbrough composes David Walker.

Saturday 22 April

Toolbox vs Tottenham Hotspur

The race for fourth place hots up in this lunch break offering as Arsenal look to make up the 4 point gap that separates them from their north London competitors. The data point to a house win. The Gunners have won the last 6 home Premiership fixtures versus Spurs and 7 out of 13 total. When they won 3-1, Tottenham Hotspur have actually not had any pleasure at Highbury considering that the Premiership started in 1992/93. Forgotten striker John Hendry scored two times on one of his few appearances in a Spurs shirt following a ₤ 5,000 switch from Dundee.
Walker's Word: Arsenal to close the gap @ 4/5.

Bolton Wanderers vs Charlton Athletic

Bolton ended a run of 5 consecutive league defeats with a goalless draw against West Brom on Monday and this match could be a similar yawnfest. Two of the four last conferences between these sides have actually produced goalless draws while Charlton appear to love a 0-0 outcome as it has actually featured in 5 of their last 10 Premiership matches.
광주안마 Walker's Word: Another bore draw @ 23/10 and and 0-0 @ 17/2.

Everton vs Birmingham City

Birmingham City are running out of video games if they are to endure in the Premiership and are unlikely to get any favours this Saturday. Steve Bruce's side have not won at Everton because winning promotion to the leading flight but have drawn 1-1 two times in the last three conferences. Their possibilities of triumph are slim and they haven't won at Goodison Park because 1957 and have 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 meetings at St James Park while the Baggies have not won there given that 1977. Bryan Robson's side have won away from house once all season and are not likely to enhance that record this weekend.
Walker's Word: Five on the spin for Newcastle @ 4/5.

Portsmouth vs Sunderland

On first glimpse this looks like an ensured house win. Portsmouth had actually won 6 on the bounce up until they crashed 2-1 at Charlton on Bank Holiday Monday while Sunderland have absolutely nothing to play for after being relegated. Since then, Sunderland have won 3 out of five visits, consisting of two 4-1 wins.
Walker's Word: Sunderland to trigger a shock @ 8/1.

FA Cup

Chelsea vs Liverpool

Chelsea have an impeccable home record against Liverpool which puts them in pole position for a place in the FA Cup last. The Blues have won 10 out of 14 Premiership meetings at Stamford Bridge, losing just once, 1-0, in 2004. Chelsea have been beaten just as soon as inside 90 minutes at home 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 met in the FA Cup considering that 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 bookmakers have priced up West Ham as favourites provided their positional supremacy in the Premiership, however seem to have neglected the reality that the Hammers have actually not won at Middlesbrough in the Premiership. Steve McClaren's side have actually won seven out of eight conferences with West Ham's last triumph at Middlesbrough being available in 1990 when both sides remained in the old second department.
Walker's Word: Boro's house record to dominate @ 6/4.

The Gunners have actually won the last 6 house Premiership fixtures against Spurs and 7 out of 13 total. Steve Bruce's side have not won at Everton given that winning promotion to the top flight but have drawn 1-1 twice in the last 3 meetings. The Magpies have actually won both Premiership meetings at St James Park while the Baggies have actually not won there since 1977. Because then, Sunderland have actually won three out of five sees, consisting of 2 4-1 wins. Chelsea have been beaten just when inside 90 minutes at house this season, against Barcelona in the Champions League and have actually won 17 out of 18 Premiership matches in front of their own fans.
