The Magpies Host the Blues

The Magpies recently recovered admirably from the bitter derby setback to Sunderland, claiming a dramatic 2-1 triumph over Fulham to march into the EFL Cup semi-finals during midweek, via Lewis Miley's last-gasp winner.

The Magpies will be aiming to extend that success with an English Premier League victory against the Stamford Bridge outfit, and a return to their fortress will undoubtedly embolden their confidence. The statistics speak volumes: they have won five, drawn one and lost just two of their eight home EPL fixtures, while they have also triumphed in all of their last four home encounters with Chelsea.

While Chelsea stand strong on the road this term, accumulating the most impressive points tally in hostile territory in the league (14 points from eight games), the Blues have been underwhelming in recent weeks. With a challenging trip to St James' Park, we are favouring the home side to prevail.

The Citizens Entertain the Hammers

The striking sensation's extraordinary goalscoring record since joining Manchester City has continued this season, with the goal machine already netting 23 goals in 22 games across all competitions, with delivering three in his last two fixtures.

Haaland has been especially lethal against West Ham for the Citizens, registering nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. With such stunning form, we are supporting the extraordinary forward to perpetuate his devastating record with another goal.

North London Receives Merseyside

Hugo Ekitike enjoyed a sensational start to life at Liverpool before experiencing a frustrating period throughout October and November, but the French forward has reclaimed goalscoring ways in December.

A brace against Leeds United was succeeded by another brace in Liverpool's comprehensive 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, gifting the striker with four goals in his last two English Premier League appearances.

As Liverpool are prepared to take on a Tottenham Hotspur side that have been notably underwhelming at home—taking just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also leaked a significant 21 goals in just 16 EPL encounters—we are expecting the Reds to have plenty of attacking success.

Combined with the striking prowess of Ekitike, we are tipping the striker to get on the scoresheet in this one.

Villa Park Hosts the Red Devils

Aston Villa have lost merely one of their last 32 encounters at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also won all of their last nine matches in all competitions, leaving them with abundant belief as they ready themselves to face an extremely inconsistent Manchester United team.

While the Red Devils have lost only one of their last 10 matches, Ruben Amorim's side have secured only two of their last seven EPL fixtures, and they are heading into this one off the back of a wild 4-4 draw with Bournemouth—underlining their defensive frailties.

Although Manchester United are set to give Aston Villa a difficult test, particularly in defence as the Red Devils wield the joint-second best attack in the league with 30 goals accumulated, we anticipate Aston Villa will weather the storm and claim the victory.
