Saturday, April 22 Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur The race for fourth place to heat up lunch offered in this aspect as the Arsenal to close the gap to four points separating them from their competitors north of London. The statistics point to a victory. The Gunners have won the last six home Premiership matches against Spurs, and seven out of 13 total.

Portsmouth won six rebound until it crashed on Charlton 2-1 Sunderland Holiday Monday, while that have nothing to play after being relegated. Really? Wrong. Portsmouth 4-1 May hammered Sunderland Stadium of Light in October, but have not beaten at Fratton Park in the championship since 1992. Since then, Sunderland have won three of the five visits, including two wins 4-1. Add to that the fact that Sunderland have nothing to lose, while Portsmouth could succumb to nerves and very tasty victory was proposed and, in general, the possibility of leaving. There could be another twist in the relegation battle yet. Walker? S word: Sunderland to cause a shock @ 8 / 1.
