St James' Park Showdown

Eddie Howe's side recovered admirably from the bitter derby defeat to Sunderland, salvaging a thrilling 2-1 triumph over Fulham to progress into the EFL Cup semi-finals during Wednesday's encounter, via Lewis Miley's injury-time winner.

The Tyneside outfit will be determined to extend that success with three crucial points against the Blues, and a return to their fortress will certainly fortify their confidence. Consider this: they have claimed five, drawn one and lost only two of their eight home EPL fixtures, while they have also won all of their last four home encounters with Chelsea.

While Chelsea are strong 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 inconsistent in recent weeks. With a challenging trip to St James' Park, we are backing the Magpies to prevail.

Manchester City vs West Ham United

Erling Haaland's extraordinary goalscoring legacy since arriving at Manchester City has persisted this season, with the forward already plundering 23 goals in 22 outings across all competitions, including finding the net three in his last two matches.

Haaland has been particularly devastating against West Ham for Man City, scoring nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. With such stunning form, we are backing the extraordinary forward to continue his remarkable record with yet another goal.

North London Receives Merseyside

Hugo Ekitike made a blistering start to life at Liverpool before experiencing a frustrating period throughout October and November, but the French forward has rediscovered scoring ways in December.

A brace against Leeds United was succeeded by yet another brace in Liverpool's comprehensive 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, blessing 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 especially disappointing 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 anticipating the Reds to have considerable attacking success.

Combined with the clinical touch of Ekitike, we are backing the striker to find the net in this one.

Villa Park Hosts the Red Devils

The Villans have lost merely one of their last 32 matches at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also triumphed in all of their last nine matches in all competitions, leaving them with considerable confidence as they steel themselves to face an notably erratic Manchester United team.

While the Red Devils have lost just one of their last 10 matches, Ruben Amorim's side have secured 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 defensive frailties.

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 claim the victory.
