Leicester vs Manchester City Preview:
Leicester have slipped into the bottom three after losing their last 3 games in a row. The Foxes have scored just one goal in that time and conceded 10 and all of a sudden new manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy is finding out just how hard it is to manage in the Premier League. The misery continues for Manchester City with just 1 win in their last 13 competitive games and it is incredible to think they would go to 10th place if other results went against them. On Boxing Day they could only draw 1-1 at home to Everton after taking the lead. Although form has been poor and this is an away game we expect Pep Guardiola's side to find what has become a rare win on Sunday.
Prediction: 3-1 to Manchester City
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time Result: Manchester City to win at 1.72, Correct Score: Manchester City to win 3-1 at 11.00, Anytime goalscorer: Erling Haaland at 1.50, Anytime goalscorer: Phil Foden at 3.00
Crystal Palace vs Southampton Preview:
Crystal Palace are fresh from securing a 0-0 draw against Bournemouth away from home and are in 16th place with 17 points. There has been a good improvement in form over the past month with just one defeat in their last five games. Southampton are bottom of the league with just six points so far and they lost again at the weekend going down 1-0 at home to West Ham. The Saints have a new manager in Ivan Juric but having already overseen defeat at home many would expect the club to struggle in this very tricky away game. Palace could go above Everton with victory and feel more safe from the bottom three.
Prediction: 2-1 to Crystal Palace
Recommended Betting Tips: Crystal Palace to beat Southampton at 1.60, Anytime goalscorer: Eberechi Eze at 2.20, Correct Score: Crystal Palace to win 2-1 at 9.00
Everton vs Nottm Forest Preview:
Everton have proven that they can dig deep and their last three results have been nothing short but brilliant. Two clean sheets and draws against Arsenal and Chelsea was followed up by a 1-1 draw away to Manchester City. That can't be faulted but of course wins have not been forthcoming and it means that despite being in 15th place Everton are very close to the bottom three. Nottingham Forest are having a superb season and are in 4th with 34 points and have won their last 4 games in a row. Half of their points have come away from home and they have won their last two games on the road. Expect a close game but the one real worry for Everton is that they are not scoring goals.
Prediction: 1-1 draw
Recommended Betting Tips: Draw at 3.25, Correct Score: 1-1 at 5.50, Anytime goalscorer: Taiwo Awoniyi at 3.00, Anytime goalscorer: Abdoulaye Doucoure at 7.00
Fulham vs Bournemouth Preview:
Perhaps by the end of the year we would not have expected to see these two sides in the top 10. Certainly we would not have believed that Bournemouth would be above Manchester City. The club drew 0-0 against Crystal Palace at the weekend. For Fulham they will come into this fixture with a lot of confidence. The Cottagers were losing against their local rival Chelsea at the weekend with just five minutes left to play but made a spectacular comeback to win 2-1. Now at home Marco Silva's side would go above Bournemouth with a win.
Prediction: 3-0 to Fulham
Recommended Betting Tips: Fulham to beat Bournemouth at 2.30, Anytime goalscorer: Rodrigo Muniz at 3.25, Fulham to win 3-0 at 21.00
Tottenham vs Wolves Preview:
Tottenham have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league so far and they come into this game in 12th place having lost 4 of their last 5 games. Their latest defeat came against Nottingham Forest. The club are now 11 points adrift of a Champions League spot for next season. Wolves pulled off a terrific result in beating Manchester United 2-0 at the weekend. Wolves have largely struggled this season and are just above the relegation zone. Their away from is actually slightly better than at home but despite Tottenham's poor form we expect the home side to get a decent win here. This is a game where their attacking nature could really overwhelm their opponents.
Prediction: 4-1 to Tottenham
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time/Full Time: Tottenham/Tottenham at 2.25, Anytime goalscorer: Dominic Solanke at 2.10, Anytime goalscorer: Brennan Johnson at 2.75
West Ham vs Liverpool Preview:
Little by little West Ham are making small improvements and picking up the points. Granted it would have been expected at the weekend when they played Southampton however away games are never easy. The Hammers got the job done in the end and won 1-0. Liverpool were losing to Leicester before showing their class and winning 3-1. The Reds have a six point lead over second placed Arsenal but also have a game in hand. The club are looking very strong and if they can stick to their game plan we only see one winner at the London Stadium.
Prediction: 2-0 to Liverpool
Recommended Betting Tips: Liverpool to beat West Ham at 1.40, Mohamed Salah to score 2+ goals at 5.00
Aston Villa vs Brighton Preview:
9th and 10th place will clash on Monday during these Christmas period games. Both clubs have shown a lot of quality over the past two seasons but both are also struggling for form. Aston Villa had a weekend to forget as they were soundly beaten 3-0 by Newcastle. It seems everytime Villa gain momentum they are halted. Brighton has no wins in over a month although a fair few games have finished as draws. This includes their last two games with a 0-0 against Brentford and a 1-1 result against West Ham.
Prediction: 2-1 to Aston Villa
Recommended Betting Tips: Aston Villa to beat Brighton at 2.00, Both teams to score at 1.50, Correct Score: 2-1 to Aston Villa at 8.00
Ipswich vs Chelsea Preview:
Despite Ipswich having only earned 12 points so far and the fact that they are in 19th place the club are just one win away from safety. At the weekend Ipswich were expected to lose heavy away to title chasing Arsenal but put up a strong display and only lost 1-0 in the end. Chelsea's title chances have taken a hit in recent weeks. First the Blues could only draw 0-0 with Everton then at the weekend they were beaten 2-1 at home to derby rivals Fulham. Chelsea have seen Arsenal go past them and they have fallen to 3rd place.
Prediction: 3-0 to Chelsea
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time/Full Time: Draw/Chelsea at 4.33, Chelsea to score 3+ goals at 2.05, Anytime goalscorer: Nicolas Jackson at 2.10, Last goalscorer: Cole Palmer at 5.00
Manchester Utd vs Newcastle Preview:
It wasn't supposed to be like this for Manchester United under Ruben Amorim. But here we are and he is now performing worse than outgoing manager Erik ten Hag. United have lost to Bournemouth and Wolves in their last two games and have dropped to 14th place and have just 22 points. Newcastle are in good form and have won their last 3 games in a row. Eddie Howe's side have climbed to 6th place. Away from home reads a record of 3-3-3 but they did beat Ipswich 4-0 in their last away game a fixture that Manchester United could only draw 1-1.
Prediction: 2-2 draw
Recommended Betting Tips: Draw: 3.25, Over 3.5 goals at 2.50, Anytime goalscorer: Joshuaw Zirkzee at 2.60, Anytime goalscorer: Alexander Isak at 2.50
Brentford vs Arsenal Preview:
Brentford are down in 12th place and there may be some concern over their recent form. The Bees have a strong home record and have only lost once so far here. Perhaps the bad news is that it was in their latest game as they were defeated 2-0 by Nottingham Forest. Arsenal has a huge opportunity to go 2nd and leap frog both Forest and Chelsea. We're only at the halfway point of the season but if the Gunners were to lose this game they would be a huge 9 points behind Liverpool with the Reds also having a game in hand. The title would feel lost. This is a must win game for Arsenal then who are in good form and have won their last two games.
Prediction: 2-0 to Arsenal
Recommended Betting Tips: Correct Score: Arsenal to win 2-0 at 7.00, Anytime goalscorer: Kai Havertz at 2.75, Anytime goalscorer: Leandro Trossard at 2.75
