The Magpies Host the Blues

The Magpies recently recovered admirably from the deflating derby setback to Sunderland, securing a dramatic 2-1 triumph over Fulham to advance into the EFL Cup semi-finals during Wednesday's encounter, via Lewis Miley's eleventh-hour strike.

The Geordie faithful will be desperate to build upon that success with a league triumph against the Stamford Bridge outfit, and a retreat to St James' Park will undoubtedly embolden their confidence. After all: they have won five, drawn one and lost only two of their eight home EPL fixtures, while they have also triumphed in all of their last four home meetings with Chelsea.

While Chelsea remain impressive 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 underwhelming in recent weeks. With a challenging trip to St James' Park, we are backing the home side to win.

Newcastle United to win, 2.74 – 3T82ZS5

Manchester City vs West Ham United

The striking sensation's phenomenal goalscoring record since joining Manchester City has persisted this season, with the striker already netting 23 goals in 22 appearances across all competitions, including scoring three in his last two fixtures.

Haaland has been particularly lethal against West Ham for Pep Guardiola's side, scoring nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. With such stunning pedigree, we are tipping the phenomenal forward to perpetuate his astonishing record with a further goal.

Erling Haaland to score anytime, 1.40 – 3T83RWG

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool

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

A brace against Leeds United was complemented with a further brace in Liverpool's comprehensive 2-0 victory over Brighton Hove Albion, gifting 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 notably poor at home—claiming just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also leaked a alarming 21 times in just 16 EPL matches—we are anticipating the Reds to have considerable attacking success.

Combined with the goalscoring form of Ekitike, we are tipping the striker to find the net in this one.

Midlands Showdown

Unai Emery's side have lost just one of their last 32 encounters at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also claimed all of their last nine matches in all competitions, leaving them with abundant confidence as they ready themselves to face an extremely unpredictable Manchester United team.

While the Red Devils have lost merely one of their last 10 matches, Ruben Amorim's side have secured only two of their last seven EPL encounters, and they are arriving into this one off the back of a frantic 4-4 draw with Bournemouth—highlighting their structural weaknesses.

Despite the fact that Manchester United are likely to give Aston Villa a robust test, especially in defence as the Red Devils possess the joint-second best attack in the league with 30 goals registered, we believe Aston Villa will weather the storm and claim the victory.
