Archived tips :

Arsenal vs Everton
Shooter : The Toffees have yet to really get going this season but are unbeaten on the road and have picked up 7 of their 8 points on their travels. The Gunners, however, are also not firing and only just edged a late point at Sunderland after losing to Hull. Wenger will demand a response and I think he'll get one - but it'll be close. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Toffees have a pretty miserable record from their trips to face Arsenal, having not won at the Gunners since 1995. Although news of David Moyes' new contract will provide a timely lift, the ongoing suspension of Tim Cahill makes a tough task even harder. Everton will battle hard, but I can't look beyond a home win here. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Aston Villa vs Portsmouth
Shooter : Dangerously for Villa, Crouch and Defoe are starting to click for Pompey, who are just two places and a point behind the Villans. O'Neill's men haven't lost at home, though, and in Carew/Young/Agbonlahor have a real handful in attack. 2-2 for me
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : These two very much have top-six ambitions this term and possibly much higher. Villa have been solid at home, winning two and drawing the other (against Liverpool) of their three home games. Pompey were spanked 6-0 at Man City on their last away trip, and although it won't be anything like as bad, I think Villa's forward line will help them serve up a win. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Bolton vs Blackburn
Shooter : Bolton are buzzing after their surprise win at West Ham, but The Reebok is not the fortress it once was. Local rivals Rovers roll into town with a decent away record (2 wins out of 3) and I reckon Ince's troops will bank all three points in this derby. 0-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : The Reebok is a happy hunting ground for Blackburn with Rovers having picked up three wins from their last four visits across Lancashire. Bolton, however, will have their tails up from the win at West Ham last time, so won't make it easy. But Blackburn beat Newcastle on their last away trip and I fancy them to edge what could be a real Lancashire hot-pot. 0-1
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Hull City vs West Ham
Shooter : There's no about it, Hull's bubble will burst at some point - but with off-field financial problem hampering the Hammers, I'm not sure it'll happen here. Zola's men were battered 3-1 by Bolton last time out, while the Tigers took Tottenham's scalp so confidence is sky high among Phil Brown's squad. A narrow home win. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : It's amazing to think that the Tigers will go into this one as favourites, but I think Phil Brown faces a real battle to keep their feet on the ground and their egos at the same level. Much of West Ham's hopes will probably rest on Bellamy's shoulders and I think he can help them to what some might feel is a shock away win. 1-3
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Stoke City vs Tottenham
Shooter : It's the battle of the basement boys and it's not going to be pretty. Both teams are in poor form, but Stoke have displayed more togetherness and organisation, whereas Spurs look rudderless under Ramos. With so much at stake, I reckon 1-0 to the Potters.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : This is nothing short of huge for both teams with Stoke's morale, and perhaps even Juande Ramos' job, riding on the outcome. Spurs have shown on several occasions that they struggle with high balls and crosses into the box, so a trip to The Brit is probably the last place they'd like to go right now. They say quality prevails, but I just don't see it happening for Spurs here and I'm opting for a home win - and a trip to the job centre on Monday morning for a certain Spaniard. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Sheff Weds vs Sheff Utd
Shooter : Both teams will be happy with their positions after 10 games, but the Blades have the slight edge coming into this game after putting three past Bristol City last time out. The Owls are unbeaten at home (won 3, drawn 2) and it should be a derby dazzler. 2-2 or even 3-3!
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : This is a real tough one to call and could make or break anyone's Shoot4theLoot hopes this weekend. The Blades go into this one in slightly better form of the two sides, while Wednesday have been unlucky on the injury front this season. But home advantage counts for plenty in these games so I'm going to sit on the fence and plump for a tightly-fought 1-1 draw.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Fulham vs Sunderland
Shooter : It's look like Fulham's home form is again going to be key to their survival bid, and with two wins from three at the Cottage they've made a decent start. The Cats, however, pose a goal threat and have been solid on the road so I think they'll grind out a point. 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : The Black Cats look a far tougher nut to crack this season having held Arsenal last time out and also run both Liverpool and Aston Villa close. Keane seems to have built from the back and the recent signings of Anton Ferdinand and George McCartney from West Ham have given the backline real steel. The Cottagers are without the banned Andy Johnson and I just don't see them finding their range so I'm tipping up the Black Cats to pinch the points. 0-1
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Liverpool vs Wigan Ath
Shooter : Is this Liverpool's year? Personally I don't think so but if they're to keep up with Chelsea, they need to win these games by hook or by crook. They do look strong, with Gerrard and Torres on fire, and Latics head to Anfield on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Boro. Zaki and Heskey will prove a handful, but I reckon 2-0 to the Reds.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Liverpool's recent record at Anfield is nothing short of phenomenal and it's only Stoke of the last 10 sides to visit who have come away with anything other than a beating. And while Wigan - with Zaki and the ever-improving Valencia - are no mugs, it'd be hard to look beyond a Liverpool side, who look very much like potential title contenders this season. 3-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Man Utd vs West Brom
Shooter : To most this is a home banker but United must ensure they respect the Baggies, who head to Old Trafford with back-to-back wins in the bag. They keep possession well so won't be under siege all the time, but I think United have too much class for them so am going for 2-0.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Tony Mowbray has already begun counting down to their Old Trafford trip by telling his side they must 'play without fear' against the champions. They'll set up in their usual 4-5-1 formation so will prove tough to break down, but with all the big guns available for United, there can only be one result. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Ipswich vs Swansea
Shooter : Ipswich were never going to replicate last season's stunning home form but no-one expected them to be 17th after 10 games. Swansea, however, are flying after walloping Wolves 3-1 to glide towards the play-offs - and I think they'll bag another point here. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : The Swans have adapted to life in the Championship really quickly and have established themselves as one of the better passing sides in the division. The pressure is already mounting on Jim Magilton and whilst I can't see them doing enough to win, I think we'll see a repeat scoreline of the last time they were featured on S4TL's selections. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
