Newcastle United vs Chelsea
Newcastle United have responded emphatically from the bitter derby setback to Sunderland, salvaging a thrilling 2-1 conquest over Fulham to advance into the EFL Cup semi-finals during Wednesday’s encounter, via Lewis Miley’s injury-time winner.
The outfit will be desperate to build upon that success with three crucial points against the Stamford Bridge outfit, and a homecoming to St James’ Park will undoubtedly fortify their belief. Consider this: they have won five, drawn one and lost merely two of their eight home EPL fixtures, while they have also dominated all of their last four home meetings with Chelsea.
While Chelsea stand formidable on the road this term, amassing the most impressive points tally in hostile territory in the league (a robust return), the Blues have been disappointing in recent weeks. With an arduous trip to St James’ Park, we are supporting the home side to prevail.
Newcastle United to win, 2.74 – 3T82ZS5
The Citizens Entertain the Hammers
The Norwegian phenomenon’s extraordinary goalscoring legacy since arriving at Manchester City has maintained its trajectory this season, with the striker already netting 23 goals in 22 outings across all competitions, featuring scoring three in his last two fixtures.
Haaland has been particularly lethal against West Ham for the Citizens, registering nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. Considering such stunning pedigree, we are backing the phenomenal forward to perpetuate his remarkable record with yet another goal.
Erling Haaland to score anytime, 1.40 – 3T83RWG
Spurs Host the Reds
Hugo Ekitike made a blistering start to life at Liverpool before suffering a barren period throughout October and November, but the French forward has reclaimed goalscoring ways in December.
A brace against Leeds United was followed by a further brace in Liverpool’s dominant 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, blessing the striker with four goals in his last two English Premier League matches.
As Liverpool are set to take on a Tottenham Hotspur side that have been notably disappointing at home—mustering just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also conceded a troubling 21 times in just 16 EPL fixtures—we are expecting the Reds to have abundant attacking success.
Considering the clinical touch of Ekitike, we are tipping the striker to get on the scoresheet in this one.
Hugo Ekitike to score anytime, 2.30 – 3T83TJV

Midlands Showdown
Aston Villa have lost only one of their last 32 fixtures at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also claimed all of their last nine matches in all competitions, leaving them with abundant momentum as they ready themselves to face an extremely erratic Manchester United team.
While the Red Devils have lost just one of their last 10 fixtures, Ruben Amorim’s side have won only two of their last seven EPL fixtures, and they are coming into this one off the back of a wild 4-4 draw with Bournemouth—underlining their structural weaknesses.
While Manchester United are expected to give Aston Villa a stern test, notably in defence as the Red Devils wield the joint-second best attack in the league with 30 goals registered, we anticipate Aston Villa will weather the storm and claim the victory.
Aston Villa to win, 2.14 – 3T83VMZ
Combined Selection: 3T85KZ7, Return: 18.88
