St James’ Park Showdown

Newcastle United have bounced back from the bitter derby defeat to Sunderland, salvaging a thrilling 2-1 triumph over Fulham to progress into the EFL Cup semi-finals during the week’s midpoint, courtesy of Lewis Miley’s eleventh-hour winner.

The Tyneside outfit will be determined to build upon that success with a league triumph against the West Londoners, and a homecoming to home will assuredly boost their belief. The statistics speak volumes: they have won five, drawn one and lost just two of their eight home EPL fixtures, while they have also triumphed in all of their last four home encounters with Chelsea.

While Chelsea remain impressive on the road this term, collecting the second highest points tally in hostile territory in the league (fourteen from eight excursions), the Blues have been inconsistent in recent weeks. With an arduous trip to St James’ Park, we are backing the hosts to prevail.

Etihad Encounter

The Norwegian phenomenon’s extraordinary goalscoring record since arriving at Manchester City has persisted this season, with the striker already accumulating 23 goals in 22 appearances across all competitions, with finding the net three in his last two matches.

Haaland has been especially devastating against West Ham for Pep Guardiola’s side, registering nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. Considering such remarkable form, we are tipping the sublime forward to continue his astonishing record with a further goal.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool

Hugo Ekitike made a blistering start to life at Liverpool before suffering a fallow period throughout October and November, but the French forward has rediscovered scoring ways in December.

A brace against Leeds United was succeeded by another brace in Liverpool’s commanding 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, gifting the striker with four goals in his last two English Premier League appearances.

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

Considering the striking prowess of Ekitike, we are tipping the striker to find the net in this one.

Villa Park Hosts the Red Devils

The Villans have lost merely one of their last 32 encounters at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also won all of their last nine contests in all competitions, blessing them with abundant belief as they ready themselves to face an remarkably erratic Manchester United team.

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

While Manchester United are set to give Aston Villa a difficult test, particularly in defence as the wield the joint-second best attack in the league with 30 goals registered, we expect Aston Villa will stand resolute and claim the victory.
