Newcastle United vs Chelsea

The Magpies recently responded emphatically from the disappointing derby defeat to Sunderland, salvaging a pulsating 2-1 victory over Fulham to march into the EFL Cup semi-finals during Wednesday’s encounter, via Lewis Miley’s injury-time strike.

The Geordie faithful will be determined to capitalise on that triumph with a league triumph against the Blues, and a homecoming to home will undoubtedly fortify their confidence. Consider this: they have won five, drawn one and lost only two of their eight home EPL matches, while they have also won all of their last four home battles with Chelsea.

While Chelsea are impressive on the road this term, collecting the joint-second best points tally away from home in the league (fourteen from eight excursions), the Blues have been disappointing in recent weeks. With a challenging trip to St James’ Park, we are backing the Magpies to prevail.

Etihad Encounter

Erling Haaland’s extraordinary goalscoring record since signing for Manchester City has persisted this season, with the striker already accumulating 23 goals in 22 outings across all competitions, including delivering three in his last two matches.

Haaland has been remarkably lethal against West Ham for Pep Guardiola’s side, scoring nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. Given such remarkable history, we are supporting the phenomenal forward to extend his devastating record with a further goal.

Spurs Host the Reds

Hugo Ekitike delivered a stunning start to life at Liverpool before suffering a frustrating period throughout October and November, but the French forward has rediscovered goalscoring ways in December.

A brace against Leeds United was followed by a further brace in Liverpool’s dominant 2-0 triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion, leaving the striker with four goals in his last two English Premier League outings.

As Liverpool are poised to take on a Tottenham Hotspur side that have been especially disappointing at home—taking just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also leaked a significant 21 times in just 16 EPL fixtures—we are backing the Reds to have plenty of attacking success.

Given the goalscoring form of Ekitike, we are tipping the striker to deliver once more in this one.

Midlands Showdown

Aston Villa have lost just one of their last 32 encounters at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also triumphed in all of their last nine contests in all competitions, blessing them with plenty of confidence as they prepare to face an notably unpredictable Manchester United team.

While the Red Devils have lost just one of their last 10 matches, Ruben Amorim’s side have secured only two of their last seven EPL fixtures, and they are arriving into this one off the back of a frantic 4-4 draw with Bournemouth—underlining their vulnerability at the back.

While Manchester United are likely to give Aston Villa a robust test, especially in defence as the Red Devils wield the joint-second best attack in the league with 30 goals scored, we believe Aston Villa will stand resolute and secure the victory.
