Saturday 22 April

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur

The race for 4th place hots up in this lunch break offering as Arsenal aim to comprise the 4 point gap that separates them from their north London competitors. The stats indicate a house win. The Gunners have actually won the last six home Premiership fixtures against Spurs and 7 out of 13 total. When they won 3-1, Tottenham Hotspur have not had any joy at Highbury because the Premiership started in 1992/93. Forgotten striker John Hendry scored twice on among his few appearances in a Spurs t-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 five successive league defeats with a goalless draw versus West Brom on Monday and this match could be a similar yawnfest. 2 of the four last meetings in between these sides have produced goalless draws while Charlton seem to enjoy a 0-0 outcome as it has actually featured 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 not likely to get any favours this Saturday, Birmingham City are running out of video games. Steve Bruce's side have actually not won at Everton since winning promo to the top flight but have actually drawn 1-1 twice in the last 3 conferences. Their opportunities of success are slim and they have not won at Goodison Park since 1957 and have actually lost 11 times on the road this season.
Walker's Word: Home win @ 11/10.

Newcastle United vs West Bromwich Albion

Under Glenn Roeder, Newcastle are one of the kind groups in the Premiership. They have won their last 4 matches in a row and this is a terrific chance to make it 5. The Magpies have won both Premiership conferences at St James Park while the Baggies have not won there since 1977. Bryan Robson's side have won away from home as soon as all season and are not likely to improve that record this weekend.
Walker's Word: Five on the spin for Newcastle @ 4/5.

밤제 Portsmouth vs Sunderland

On first glimpse this looks like a guaranteed home win. Portsmouth had actually won six on the bounce up until they crashed 2-1 at Charlton on Bank Holiday Monday while Sunderland have nothing to play for after being relegated. 밤제 Since then, Sunderland have actually won 3 out of 5 check outs, consisting of 2 4-1 wins.
Walker's Word: Sunderland to cause a shock @ 8/1.

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. This is the first time the pair have actually fulfilled in the FA Cup given 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
