Notes

Walker's Word - Premier League Betting Preview 14/16 April 2006
The bookies will anticipate a deluge of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal trebles as all three play probably "simple" matches although there is much better value to be discovered at Craven Cottage and Upton Park. There might likewise be more Midlands derby torment in store for Aston Villa on Sunday at tempting 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 better opponents to make it a best 10. Sunderland are out of their depth at this level and will be relegated on Saturday if they lose. Kevin Ball's side took simply nine minutes to concede against a Fulham side without an away win all season last weekend and remain in threat of being on the receiving end of a thrashing. United's current 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 could well strike the 3 goals required to cover a 2 objective handicap however at odds-on it's no value is backing them outright at 1/10 (Bet365). If you desire a run for your cash, Wayne Rooney, who was splendid against the Gunners, might be a great bet to score the very first objective.
Walker's Word: Wayne Rooney to score the very first goal @ 3/1.

Saturday 15 April

Bolton Wanderers vs Chelsea
Chelsea showed fantastic dedication to come back from both a goal and player 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 actually 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 cut out to stop the rot against Jose Mourinho's side. Chelsea have won their last 2 visits to the Reebok Stadium 2-0 and a comparable result is anticipated this weekend.
Walker's Word: Five defeats in a row-- back Chelsea @ 8/13.

Toolbox vs West Bromwich Albion
After losing to Manchester United on Sunday, Arsenal can not manage to lose anymore ground on 4th placed Tottenham Hotspur and optimal points are needed against the relegation-threatened Baggies. There is no worth in an Arsenal win at 2/9 particularly 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 goal scorer bet might be best investment here and prior to Sunday's defeat, Emmanuel Adebayor has scored two times in his last two matches against Charlton and Aston Villa and is worth 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 finish while Tottenham have actually won just once in their last 6 away matches as they aim to claim fourth area and a possibly financially rewarding Champions League place. Four of the last 6 meetings in between have actually pair have actually been draws, although Spurs won last season 1-0 while season before 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 journeys however at Craven Cottage they are a force to be reckoned with, winning 10 out of 16 matches on home soil and building up 32 of the 36 points acquired this season in front of their own fans. Charlton have actually not won at Fulham because 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 first time the set have actually met in the league at St James Park but Wigan have beaten the Magpies 1-0 on 2 separate celebrations this season in both the Premiership and Carling Cup. While Newcastle look to have actually turned around a sticky patch with 2 succeeding victories, including the derby win at Middlesbrough on Sunday, Wigan look like a side running out of steam. They have won just twice in their last 10 games, although both were away from house 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
Then they require to make their house matches count, if Portsmouth are to prevent relegation. Pompey have actually won the last 2 fixtures between the pair at Fratton Park, consisting of a 5-1 drubbing two seasons ago which saw now-Boro striker Yakubu score four times. Middlesbrough have also played through a busy component list just recently which has actually 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 appealing at odds-on, but Portsmouth @ 5/6.

West Ham United vs Manchester City
After a stunning collapse against 10-man Chelsea on Sunday, West Ham should be backed to go back to winning ways versus flagging Manchester City. Stuart Pearce's side has lost 5 matches home and away in succession and have actually not won at Upton Park since 1991/92 in the old Division One. 광주업소 The Hammers are without a win in 3 Premiership matches at Upton Park to provide an included reward.
Walker's Word: Stuart Pearce to go psycho - West Ham @ Evens.

Sunday 16 April

Aston Villa vs Birmingham City
Villa host their second Midlands derby in a week and again might not give their fans much to cheer about. An enhancing Birmingham side have actually delighted in the much better of the lead to current derbies, winning two times and drawing when at Villa Park in the last 3 seasons. Vacation home have actually kept three successive clean sheets on home soil, consisting of 2 goalless draws, so another low scoring encounter is expected. 광주업소 Birmingham are unbeaten in their last three but have not won away considering that their 1-0 success at Sunderland in November.

Kevin Ball's side took just nine minutes to yield versus a Fulham side without an away win all season last weekend and are in risk of being on the receiving end of a thrashing. 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 might be rested with the Champions League semi-final versus Villarreal the following week in mind. They have won simply two times in their last 10 games, although both were away from home at Manchester City and Sunderland, two sides probably on a downtrend.
