The Magpies Host the Blues

The Magpies recently bounced back from the deflating derby setback to Sunderland, claiming a thrilling 2-1 triumph over Fulham to advance into the EFL Cup semi-finals during Wednesday’s encounter, via Lewis Miley’s injury-time strike.

The Magpies will be determined to extend that triumph with a league triumph against the West Londoners, and a homecoming to home will undoubtedly fortify their conviction. After all: they have won five, drawn one and lost only two of their eight home EPL fixtures, while they have also won all of their last four home battles with Chelsea.

While Chelsea remain strong on the road this term, collecting the second highest points tally away from home in the league (14 points from eight games), the Blues have been underwhelming in recent weeks. With a difficult trip to St James’ Park, we are backing the home side to win.

Newcastle United to win, 2.74 – 3T82ZS5

Manchester City vs West Ham United

The Norwegian phenomenon’s extraordinary goalscoring legacy since joining Manchester City has persisted this season, with the forward already plundering 23 goals in 22 appearances across all competitions, with scoring three in his last two fixtures.

Haaland has been particularly lethal against West Ham for Pep Guardiola’s side, registering nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. Considering such stunning pedigree, we are supporting the extraordinary forward to perpetuate his devastating record with another goal.

Spurs Host the Reds

Hugo Ekitike made a sensational start to life at Liverpool before enduring a frustrating period throughout October and November, but the French forward has rediscovered his clinical ways in December.

A brace against Leeds United was complemented with a further brace in Liverpool’s commanding 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, leaving the striker with four goals in his last two English Premier League matches.

As Liverpool are poised to take on a Tottenham Hotspur side that have been notably poor at home—claiming just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also conceded a significant 21 goals in just 16 EPL fixtures—we are expecting the Reds to have considerable attacking success.

Combined with the striking prowess of Ekitike, we are backing the striker to get on the scoresheet in this one.

Hugo Ekitike to score anytime, 2.30 – 3T83TJV

Villa Park Hosts the Red Devils

Unai Emery’s side have lost only one of their last 32 matches at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also won all of their last nine games in all competitions, blessing them with abundant belief as they ready themselves to face an extremely erratic Manchester United team.

While the Red Devils have lost merely one of their last 10 encounters, Ruben Amorim’s side have only two of their last seven EPL fixtures, and they are heading into this one off the back of a frantic 4-4 draw with Bournemouth—exposing their defensive frailties.

Despite the fact that Manchester United are likely to give Aston Villa a difficult test, notably in defence as the Red Devils wield the joint-second best attack in the league with 30 goals registered, we expect Aston Villa will weather the storm and deliver the victory.
