St James’ Park Showdown

Newcastle United have bounced back from the bitter derby reverse to Sunderland, salvaging a pulsating 2-1 triumph over Fulham to progress into the EFL Cup semi-finals during midweek, via Lewis Miley’s last-gasp decisive intervention.

The Geordie faithful will be aiming to build upon that triumph with a league triumph against the West Londoners, and a retreat to their fortress will assuredly fortify their conviction. After all: they have won five, drawn one and lost only two of their eight home EPL encounters, while they have also dominated all of their last four home battles with Chelsea.

While Chelsea remain strong on the road this term, amassing the second highest points tally in hostile territory in the league (fourteen from eight excursions), the Blues have been inconsistent in recent weeks. With a challenging trip to St James’ Park, we are backing the home side to emerge victorious.

Newcastle United to win, 2.74 – 3T82ZS5

Manchester City vs West Ham United

The Norwegian phenomenon’s phenomenal goalscoring record since signing for Manchester City has continued this season, with the goal machine already accumulating 23 goals in 22 games across all competitions, including scoring three in his last two matches.

Haaland has been particularly prolific against West Ham for Pep Guardiola’s side, netting nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. Given such remarkable history, we are supporting the sublime forward to continue his remarkable record with yet another goal.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool

Hugo Ekitike enjoyed a stunning start to life at Liverpool before suffering a fallow 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 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, blessing 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 poor at home—claiming just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also conceded a troubling 21 strikes in just 16 EPL fixtures—we are anticipating the Reds to have plenty of attacking success.

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

Villa Park Hosts the Red Devils

The Villans have lost just one of their last 32 fixtures at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also won all of their last nine games in all competitions, blessing them with plenty of momentum as they steel themselves to face an notably erratic Manchester United team.

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

Although Manchester United are likely to give Aston Villa a stern test, notably in defence as the Red Devils possess the joint-second best attack in the league with 30 goals scored, we Villa will stand resolute and secure the victory.
