Archived tips :

Chelsea vs Sunderland
Shooter : Chelsea's staggering home run may have been ended by Liverpool, but they bounced back in style against the Tigers in midweek - and with Sunderland heading to London on the back of defeat at Stoke, Big Phil's Blues should have little problems taming the Black Cats. 3-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Blues showed in midweek that they're not in the mood to take any prisoners, and I'll expect they'll still be reeling from the defeat to Liverpool when Sunderland roll into town. The Cats aren't great travellers, so expect nothing less than a stroll for Chelsea. 3-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Middlesbro' vs West Ham
Shooter : Boro are buzzing after sending City's slickers packing in midweek, and Alves and Tuncay are forming a decent partnership up top. They've lost 2 at home already but have also won 3, and the Hammers arrive with a poor away record (won 1 lost 4) so I fancy the hosts. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : The Teessiders produced a gritty performance in midweek to see off Man City and will be hopeful of a similar result against a Hammers side who are on a run of 4 straight defeats. West Ham's problems stem from a serious lack of goals, and they could draw a blank again. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Portsmouth vs Wigan Ath
Shooter : Defeat at Fulham saw Bruce's Latics slip into the dropzone as they've now lost 4 on the trot. Pompey are still reeling from Redknapp's shock exit but have kept Adams in the family and they were unlucky to lose at Anfield. I reckon it's a 4th home win for the hosts. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : Like West Ham, Latics are also on a run of 4 straight defeats but they can consider themselves slightly unfortunate in a couple of those games. Their display at Fulham in midweek was shonky at best, but I think they could spoil the party on Tony Adams' home debut as manager. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Stoke City vs Arsenal
Shooter : Pulis' Potters are pinpointing key games to get their points, but I think the Gunners will bag all three at the Brit. Stoke are Fuller beans after beating Sunderland, but Arsenal's attack are clicking into gear and Wenger will demand a response after seeing them throw away 2 points in the thrilling 4-4 draw with Spurs. 0-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Beauty meets the Beast at The Britannia, and it'll be interesting to see the contrasting styles in action. Arsenal are scoring for fun at the moment (five in Istanbul and four against Spurs) but you just can't see the Potters either a) matching them and b) keeping them out. Therefore, a dead cert this one, it's just a matter of how many. I'll go for 0-3
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Tottenham vs Liverpool
Shooter : Liverpool head to London as league leaders but it's too early for title talk, and they've had Lady Luck with them in a fair few games so far. Spurs are flying after Harry's arrival and their late Emirates heroics, and I reckon they can earn a point. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Arguably the match of the weekend and what looked like a fairly comfortable assignment for the Reds 10 days ago, now looks like a very tricky game indeed. Harry's clearly lifted morale since taking charge, but Liverpool have grit and an element of good fortune this year and I think Rafa's troops might just edge this one. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
West Brom vs Blackburn
Shooter : Three defeats on the spin means this a must-win game for the Baggies, who will benefit from Miller opening his Prem goal account on Tyneside in midweek. They're pretty shaky at the back, though, and Rovers have enough class in attack to pocket a point. 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : The Baggies were well beaten by Hull at home last time out but gave Newcastle a good game in midweek. Blackburn were just edged at Villa, but just look a little edgy in defence and West Brom could just sneak an ugly win. 1-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Man Utd vs Hull City
Shooter : I think it'd be wrong to say Hull's bubble has burst but their Blues battering gave them a reality check - and I reckon United will win with similar ease at Old Trafford. Berbatov is really clicking with Rooney and Ronaldo, and the trio will terrorise the Tigers. 3-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : So after the 'easy' home game against Chelsea, it's another simple task at Old Trafford for Phil Brown's troops. I expect the Tigers to give a superb account of themselves and they'll play without fear. But United are clicking into gear and Ronaldo, Berbatov and Rooney look red hot right now, so you can't look beyond a home win. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Cardiff vs Wolves
Shooter : Two of the top three go head to head at Ninian Park, and table-topping Wolves arrive with 4 away wins in the bank already. Both teams are full of goals and confidence after midweek victories, so I reckon it'll be a score draw. 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : Wolves might be the table-toppers in the Championship, but the form team of the moment are Cardiff and they also boast the division's top scorer in Ross McCormack. The Scot has scored simple goals, great goals, free-kicks, penalties - the lot, and with Wolves' defence missing one or two key men, I think the Bluebirds might claim another prize scalp. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Bolton vs Man City
Shooter : Man City have not quite clicked on the road yet, apart from at Sunderland, but missed a hatful of chances at Boro. Bolton, meanwhile, struggle to create chances and are set for a long stay in the bottom three. I think a comfortable 2-0 win for Hughes' troops.
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : City haven't been great on their travels this term and their midweek defeat at Middlesbrough was testimony to that fact. But Bolton are in shocking form right now having lost 6 of their last 9 games and I just can't see them breaching the City rearguard. The clock is ticking for Megson and a heavy loss in this one will hardly help. 0-4
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Derby vs Nottm Forest
Shooter : This East Midlands derby will be a spicy affair and Forest head into the game on the back of their first away win of the season at Palace. Trouble is they've lost the other 6 away games, and with Derby unbeaten in 5 at Pride Park (won 3 drawn 2) I think the Rams will raid all three points. 3-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : They say form goes out of the window in derbies, and whilst both these once-great sides suffered shocking starts to the season, both have showed signs of turning the corner of late. But it's the Rams who have a) the better players, b) have home advantage and c) are in better form, so with those stats in mind, I can't look beyond a home win. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
