England Premier League
Thursday 26th December 2024
Kick off at
Venue:

 
 
Manchester City vs Everton Preview:
 
How football changes so quickly. Six weeks ago this fixture would be seen as a home banker but that might not be the case now. Manchester City with just 1 win in their last 12 games are going through a crisis and have fallen to 7th place and are 12 points behind Liverpool. Everton were expected to get nothing from recent encounters against Arsenal and Chelsea but drew both games and kept clean sheets. This game will certainly be attack Vs defence. City despite their problems should be able to prevail at home but expect a tough game for them.
 
Prediction: 2-0 to Manchester City
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time/Full Time: Draw/Manchester City at 4.00, Anytime goalscorer: Erling Haaland at 1.57
 
 
 
Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace Preview:
 
Last season Bournemouth went to Manchester United and beat them 3-0 and last weekend they repeated that trick. The result was more of a shock given United have a new manager and the Cherries you'd expect will be buzzing coming into this home fixture. Bournemouth are also in good form. Crystal Palace's good run of form came to a startling end with a 5-1 home defeat against Arsenal. Palace are in 16th place but have been improving otherwise and this game looks set up to be an interesting one. 
 
Prediction: 2-2 draw
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Draw at 3.75, Anytime goalscorer: Antoine Semenyo at 3.25, Anytime goalscorer: Ismaila Sarr at 3.75
 
 
 
Chelsea vs Fulham Preview:
 
Chelsea's great winning run came to an end away to Everton as they were held to a 0-0 draw which was a surprise given how free scoring Enzo Maresca's side has been so far. The Blues are still in great form for this west London derby and are 4 points behind Liverpool. Fulham are 10 points behind Chelsea but form has been decent with no losses in their last five but the problem had been draws and the Cottagers last three games has ended this way. They are a solid side and we expect a lot of emotion and end to end football. 
 
Prediction: 3-2 to Chelsea
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Chelsea to beat Fulham at 1.50, Over 3.5 goals at 2.10, Anytime goalscorer: Nicolas Jackson at 2.25, Anytime goalscorer: Cole Palmer at 2.00, A player sent off at 5.00
 
 
 
Newcastle vs Aston Villa Preview:
 
Here we have a battle between two of the most improved teams in the Premier League over the past 18 months. Both clubs are in form too. Newcastle have won their last two games in a row by beating Leicester and Ipswich both 4-0. Aston Villa did suffer a loss of form after a brilliant start but Unai Emery's side have now won 3 of their last four games. The two sides are on the verge of mixing it with the big teams and this match should be very rewarding on the eye. We expect to see many goals in a game that should be end to end throughout. 
 
Prediction: 4-3 to Newcastle
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Newcastle to beat Aston Villa at 1.91, Over 3.5 goals at 2.30, Alexander Isak to score 2+ goals at 8.00, Anytime goalscorer: Ollie Watkins at 2.75
 
 
 
Nottm Forest vs Tottenham Preview:
 
Nottingham Forest have won 50% of their games at home and have been simply superb so far this season. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo should be highly praised and his club have won their last 3 games in a row and are in 4th place with 31 points. Tottenham are playing great entertaining football and their last two games have seen 16 goals. The problem though is their tactics can leave them exposed like at the weekend when they lost 6-3 to Liverpool at home. Tottenham have lost 50% of their games away from home and this looks like a very tough game for them. At the same time they have been quite unpredictable. However with injuries to the side we will opt for a home win in what should be an exciting game. 
 
Prediction: 3-2 to Nottm Forest
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Nottingham Forest to beat Tottenham at 2.30, Anytime goalscorer: Chris Wood at 2.50, Anytime goalscorer: Dominic Solanke at 2.75
 
 
 
Southampton vs West Ham Preview:
 
Southampton did very well at the weekend to go to Fulham and get a 0-0 draw but they remain well bottom of the league with just six points. The Saints have unvelied a new manager in Ivan Juric and he will take heart that his new side could not only get a draw against Fulham but keep a clean sheet. West Ham earned a 1-1 draw at home to Brighton and they are now 8 points from the bottom three and are unbeaten in their last 3 games. There was pressure for manager Julien Lopetegui to be sacked but his job seems safe for now. 
 
Prediction: 1-1 draw
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Draw at 3.25, Both teams to score at 1.57, Correct Score: 1-1 at 6.50
 
 
 
Wolves vs Manchester Utd Preview:
 
Wolves are in 18th place but a win here gives the club a great chance to jump into safety. Wolves have been poor this season with just one win at home so far however they did smash Leicester away last weekend and will have confidence coming into this game. Things have not improved for Manchester United so far under new manager Ruben Amorim and the club have lost 3 of their last four games. Last weekend they were soundly beaten 3-0 at home to Bournemouth. This is a huge game for the club but one wonders if out of favour player Marcus Rashford will return for this game as Amorim gives him one more chance. 
 
Prediction: 2-1 to Manchester Utd
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Manchester United to beat Wolves at 1.91, Anytime goalscorer: Bruno Fernandes at 2.80, Anytime goalscorer: Marcus Rashford at 3.25
 
 
 
Liverpool vs Leicester Preview:
 
After two draws in a row Liverpool got back to winning ways in fantastic fashion by destroying Tottenham 6-3 away from home and underlining the favourite tag to win the league title this season. Still the Reds are only four points to the advantage of 2nd placed Chelsea and need to push on. After a bright moment under new manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy Leicester look in trouble after losing to Newcastle and Wolves. It's not just that they were defeated but they have conceded 7 goals in those 2 games and failed to score. A trip to Anfield then seems very daunting for the Foxes. 
 
Prediction: 5-0 to Liverpool
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time/Full Time: Liverpool/Liverpool at 1.66, First goalscorer: Mohamed Salah at 3.25, Anytime goalscorer: Diogo Jota at 2.30
 
 
 
Brighton vs Brentford Preview:
 
These two sides have for the most part been a huge benefit to the Premier League and have punched above their weight. However both teams come into this fixture having lost form. The Seagulls have not won a game in over a month and have scattered draws among their defeats. Brentford were beaten for the first time at home last weekend as they fell 2-0 against Nottingham Forest. The Bees have a chance to break into the top 10 and go past Brighton with victory. Brighton have only lost once at home so far however their most common result is the draw.
 
Prediction: 2-0 to Brighton
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Brighton to beat Brentford at 1.70, Anytime goalscorer: Danny Welbeck at 2.50, Correct Score: 2-0 to Brighton at 11.00
 
 
 
Arsenal vs Ipswich Preview:
 
Arsenal has won 11 points from their last 15 and form has been solid. The Gunners roared back on the victory trail last weekend after drawing two games in a row by smashing Crystal Palace 5-1 away from home. Arsenal are 6 points adrift of league leaders Liverpool and are in 3rd place. The club still look strong but suffered a blow as Bukayo Saka is injured with a hamstring and may miss the next month. Ipswich's last game ended in a 4-0 loss at home to Newcastle and the club are in a lowly 19th place. However Ipswich are only 2 points from safety but any way you look at this you would be expecting a home win and the Gunners will be big odds on to win this one. 
 
Prediction: 6-0 to Arsenal
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time Correct Score: Arsenal to be leading 2-0 or 3-0 at 5.00 and 11.00, Martin Odegaard to score 2+ goals at 13.00, Over 4.5 goals at 3.25
