The Magpies Host the Blues
Eddie Howe's side recovered admirably from the bitter derby defeat to Sunderland, claiming a pulsating 2-1 triumph over Fulham to progress into the EFL Cup semi-finals during midweek, thanks to Lewis Miley's last-gasp decisive intervention.
The Magpies will be desperate to build upon that success with an English Premier League victory against the Stamford Bridge outfit, and a homecoming to St James' Park will certainly fortify their belief. Consider this: they have claimed five, drawn one and lost merely two of their eight home EPL fixtures, while they have also won all of their last four home meetings with Chelsea.
While Chelsea remain formidable on the road this term, collecting the joint-second best points tally on the road in the league (fourteen from eight excursions), the Blues have been underwhelming in recent weeks. With a difficult trip to St James' Park, we are backing the home side to prevail.
Newcastle United to win, 2.74 – 3T82ZS5
The Citizens Entertain the Hammers
Erling Haaland's phenomenal goalscoring legacy since joining Manchester City has maintained its trajectory this season, with the forward already netting 23 goals in 22 outings across all competitions, featuring scoring three in his last two matches.
Haaland has been especially lethal against West Ham for Pep Guardiola's side, scoring nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. With such exceptional form, we are backing the phenomenal forward to continue his devastating record with a further goal.
Erling Haaland to score anytime, 1.40 – 3T83RWG
Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool
Hugo Ekitike made a stunning start to life at Liverpool before experiencing a barren period throughout October and November, but the French forward has reclaimed his clinical ways in December.
A brace against Leeds United was complemented with another brace in Liverpool's comprehensive 2-0 triumph over Brighton Hove Albion, leaving 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—mustering just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also shipped a significant 21 times in just 16 EPL matches—we are expecting the Reds to have plenty of attacking success.
Given the striking prowess of Ekitike, we are supporting the striker to deliver once more in this one.
Hugo Ekitike to score anytime, 2.30 – 3T83TJV

Villa Park Hosts the Red Devils
The Villans have lost just one of their last 32 encounters at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also claimed all of their last nine games in all competitions, leaving them with plenty of momentum as they prepare to face an remarkably inconsistent 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 matches, and they are arriving into this one off the back of a wild 4-4 draw with Bournemouth—highlighting their defensive frailties.
Despite the fact that Manchester United are expected to give Aston Villa a robust test, especially in defence as the Red Devils boast the joint-second best attack in the league with 30 goals registered, we expect Aston Villa will hold firm and claim the victory.
