Archived tips :

Arsenal vs Birmingham City
Shooter : Cast your mind back as it seems a long while since we had Premier League action, but the Gunners were in blistering form last time out and hit Rovers for six at The Emirates. Blues have lost 3/4 on the road this season, and will do well to keep the score respectable. 3-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Gunners have been near-perfect on their home patch this term, with 14 goals scored and just the three conceded. Blues will have noted how Blackburn and Wigan suffered heavy defeats and will hope to keep it tight at the back in the same way they did at Man United. The Gunners to win - but don't expect an avalanche this time. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Everton vs Wolves
Shooter : The Toffees, who have always worked with a fairly small squad, will be refreshed after the international break, while Wolves have had a long time to stew over their shock home defeat by Pompey. The visitors are struggling for goals on the road, so I reckon 2-0.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : The Toffees were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw against Stoke in their last home fixture so will start this one eager to make amends. Mick McCarthy has his Wolves side working hard, but that will only get you so far and they'll slip to their fourth defeat in five away games this term here. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Portsmouth vs Tottenham
Shooter : This is a very tasty fixture, with Messrs Redknapp, Kranjcar, Defoe and Crouch all returning to Fratton Park looking to keep Spurs flying high. Pompey pinched the points at Molineux but have lost 4/4 at home and I think the visitors will have too much firepower. 1-3
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Away Win
Looter : Harry Redknapp is guaranteed a warm welcome to Fratton Park, where Paul Hart's improving side will look to bag their first home points of the season. 1-0 winners at Wolves last time out is not exactly a result of the season, but it should boost confidence to the degree where they can hold Spurs to a draw. 1-1
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Away Win
Stoke City vs West Ham
Shooter : The Potters added some real class to their ranks when they snatched Huth and Tuncay from Boro, with Huth grabbing a goal at Goodison and forming a solid centre-back pairing with Shawcross. Carlton Cole will be a handful and could score, but I think it'll be 3-1.
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Hammers beat Stoke home and away last season and would give their right arm to ensure a repeat, given their current plight in the bottom three. A win looks beyond them this time, but I think the improving Alessandro Diamanti will help them to a point. 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Sunderland vs Liverpool
Shooter : The Black Cats were unlucky not to claim the scalp of Man United last time out, but I think they'll do the business this time and really crank up the pressure on Benitez. The Cats are only two places and two points behind the Reds - and in Bent and Jones have a front two who can really rattle the visitors' dodgy backline. 2-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The Reds will go into this match as clear favourites, but you only have to look at the table to realise they are far from guaranteed the points - especially with doubts surrounding the fitness of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres. Sunderland have won three from four at home - and I'm tipping the hosts to edge a very tight affair. 1-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Bristol City vs Peterborough
Shooter : The Robins have been in fine form on home soil so far this season, winning 4/5 at Ashton Gate where they keep things nice and tight at the back. Posh are finding the step up pretty tough and sit in the bottom three, and I can't see a shock on the cards here. 2-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : Hardly a Championship classic in store here, but Bristol City do boast an impressive home record, which is bettered only by leaders Newcastle. Posh, by contrast, have struggled to adjust to this level, and while Aaron Mclean could score, I'm still tipping a comfortable home success. 3-1
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Draw
Blackburn vs Burnley
Shooter : Burnley are like Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to home and away form, having won 4/4 at Turf Moor and lost 4/4 on their travels. They won't have far to trek for this Lancashire hotpot, which will be a tense affair with Big Sam demanding a big defensive improvement from Rovers after they were hit for six for the Gunners. 1-1 or 2-2
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : These two are meeting in the top flight for the first time since 1966, so expect both sides to be well up for the fight. I expect both these sides to finish in the bottom six this term, so this match is likely to be a real feisty affair. But with defences looking leaky, expect Blackburn to sneak home by the odd goal in five. 3-2
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Wigan Ath vs Man City
Shooter : It's another Lancashire derby at the DW Stadium, where Wigan are hit or miss to say the least having won 2 and lost 2. City's big guns are starting to return and Bellamy is in the form of his life...I fancy them to break the top four this season so am going for a 1-3 win.
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Looter : It's matches like these which will really test Man City's resolve to finish in the top four this season, especially as the Blues have not won here in four attempts since Wigan's promotion. Latics have been on and off at home, but I think City could claim their first success at Wigan since 1998. 0-3
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Draw
Fulham vs Hull City
Shooter : The Tigers pinched all three points from this fixture this season, and will arrive at Craven Cottage in high spirits having eased the pressure on Phil Brown with a win over Wigan last time out. The hosts have lost 2/3 at home already, so I'm for an away win here. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : The match is already being hyped by the possible first start in 10 months for Jimmy Bullard - and low and behold - it's against his former team, no less. The Tigers are pretty flakey on their travels, having just picked up one point from four games so far, while Fulham know they need to pick things up on their home match. Expect a Fulham win, but only just. 1-0
Prediction : Home Win    Actual Result : Home Win
Leeds United vs Norwich
Shooter : Norwich are on the march after a fine run of form so will arrive at 'Fortress' Elland Road with morale sky high. They face, however, a home side who are now the pacesetters in League One and are buzzing themselves after moving into pole position. I'll go for 1-1.
Prediction : Draw    Actual Result : Home Win
Looter : Monday night's live action comes from League One, where leaders Leeds host improving Norwich. The Canaries come into this one on the back of four straight wins, while Leeds have stumbled having drawn their last two at home. Becchio will likely be a key absence for Leeds, and without him star man Beckford looks a little lost. It's the Shoot4theLoot decider this weekend - and I'll be backing the away win. 1-2
Prediction : Away Win    Actual Result : Home Win
