St James' Park Showdown

The Magpies recently recovered admirably from the bitter derby setback to Sunderland, salvaging a dramatic 2-1 victory over Fulham to march into the EFL Cup semi-finals during midweek, thanks to Lewis Miley's injury-time decisive intervention.

The Magpies will be desperate to extend that momentum with an English Premier League victory against the Stamford Bridge outfit, and a return to St James' Park will certainly fortify their conviction. Consider this: they have claimed five, drawn one and lost merely two of their eight home EPL matches, while they have also triumphed in all of their last four home battles with Chelsea.

While Chelsea remain formidable on the road this term, collecting the joint-second best points tally in hostile territory in the league (14 points from eight games), the Blues have been disappointing in recent weeks. With a challenging trip to St James' Park, we are favouring the Magpies to prevail.

Etihad Encounter

Erling Haaland's phenomenal goalscoring legacy since joining Manchester City has continued this season, with the goal machine already netting 23 goals in 22 games across all competitions, with delivering three in his last two matches.

Haaland has been remarkably devastating against West Ham for Pep Guardiola's side, scoring nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. Considering such exceptional history, we are tipping the extraordinary 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 reclaimed his clinical ways in December.

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

As Liverpool are prepared to take on a Tottenham Hotspur side that have been notably underwhelming at home—taking just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also shipped a troubling 21 times in just 16 EPL fixtures—we are backing the Reds to have abundant attacking success.

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

Aston Villa vs Manchester United

Unai Emery's side have lost merely one of their last 32 encounters at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also triumphed in all of their last nine matches in all competitions, blessing them with plenty of confidence as they steel themselves to face an extremely unpredictable Manchester United team.

While the Red Devils have lost just one of their last 10 encounters, Ruben Amorim's side have claimed 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—exposing their structural weaknesses.

Despite the fact that Manchester United are likely to give Aston Villa a stern test, especially in defence as the Red Devils possess the joint-second best attack in the league with 30 goals accumulated, we anticipate Aston Villa will hold firm and secure the victory.
