St James' Park Showdown


Newcastle United have bounced back from the deflating derby setback to Sunderland, salvaging a pulsating 2-1 triumph over Fulham to progress into the EFL Cup semi-finals during Wednesday's encounter, via Lewis Miley's injury-time strike.


The Tyneside outfit will be desperate to capitalise on that triumph with three crucial points against the Stamford Bridge outfit, and a return to their fortress will undoubtedly embolden their belief. Consider this: they have secured five, drawn one and lost only two of their eight home EPL fixtures, while they have also triumphed in all of their last four home encounters with Chelsea.


While Chelsea are strong on the road this term, collecting the most impressive points tally in hostile territory in the league (a robust return), the Blues have been disappointing in recent weeks. With a challenging trip to St James' Park, we are backing the hosts to win.


Newcastle United to win, 2.74 – 3T82ZS5




Etihad Encounter


The striking sensation's phenomenal goalscoring catalogue since joining Manchester City has continued this season, with the forward already netting 23 goals in 22 outings across all competitions, with scoring three in his last two fixtures.


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


Erling Haaland to score anytime, 1.40 – 3T83RWG




Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool


Hugo Ekitike enjoyed a stunning start to life at Liverpool before experiencing a fallow period throughout October and November, but the French forward has returned his clinical ways in December.


A brace against Leeds United was succeeded by yet another 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 outings.


As Liverpool are prepared 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 shipped a alarming 21 strikes in just 16 EPL encounters—we are anticipating the Reds to have abundant attacking success.


Considering the clinical touch of Ekitike, we are supporting the striker to deliver once more in this one.


Hugo Ekitike to score anytime, 2.30 – 3T83TJV

Aston Villa vs Manchester United


The Villans have lost merely 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, leaving them with abundant belief as they steel themselves to face an remarkably unpredictable Manchester United team.


While the Red Devils have lost only 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 chaotic 4-4 draw with Bournemouth—underlining their defensive frailties.


While 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 believe Aston Villa will stand resolute and claim the victory.


Aston Villa to win, 2.14 – 3T83VMZ
