Below were the predicted outcomes for the midweek fixtures Wed 22nd February 2006.
| Wed 7:45 | Newcastle v Charlton |
| Only 2 places and 1 point separate these two in the bottom half of the table but both should be safe from relegation. Newcastle were extremely poor at home to Southampton but still managed a win despite their defence having holes in it you could drive a bus through. The back four didn't play as a unit and Bramble and Boumsong look like amateurs; Boumsong in the French squad gives hope to all their World Cup opponents come June. The big positive for Roeder will have been the performance of Dyer who got the winner and showed far more than his partner Ameobi. Shearer should be back for this one after a calf injury and Dyer looks likely to start up front with him. The Magpies have only won 5 at home this season but face a Charlton side who's away form has dipped considerably since just before Christmas. They have only taken 1 point from their last 6 games on their travels and though they are still picking up points at the Valley Curbishley needs to instill some grit and resolve in his players when away from home. This will be a tight affair but with home advantage Newcastle should just edge it. | |
| Home Win 1-0 | |
