The Magpies Host the Blues
Eddie Howe's side responded emphatically from the disappointing derby setback to Sunderland, claiming a dramatic 2-1 conquest over Fulham to progress into the EFL Cup semi-finals during the week's midpoint, via Lewis Miley's injury-time decisive intervention.
The Tyneside outfit will be aiming to capitalise on that triumph with an English Premier League victory against the West Londoners, and a retreat to their fortress will assuredly embolden their conviction. After all: they have won five, drawn one and lost just two of their eight home EPL encounters, while they have also won all of their last four home encounters with Chelsea.
While Chelsea are formidable on the road this term, collecting the second highest points tally on the road in the league (14 points from eight games), the Blues have been underwhelming in recent weeks. With an arduous trip to St James' Park, we are favouring the hosts to emerge victorious.
Newcastle United to win, 2.74 – 3T82ZS5
Manchester City vs West Ham United
Erling Haaland's remarkable goalscoring catalogue since joining Manchester City has continued this season, with the striker already accumulating 23 goals in 22 games across all competitions, including delivering three in his last two encounters.
Haaland has been especially lethal against West Ham for Pep Guardiola's side, scoring nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. With such remarkable form, we are supporting the extraordinary forward to perpetuate his devastating record with a further goal.
Erling Haaland to score anytime, 1.40 – 3T83RWG
Spurs Host the Reds
Hugo Ekitike enjoyed a blistering start to life at Liverpool before experiencing a frustrating period throughout October and November, but the French forward has returned his clinical ways in December.
A brace against Leeds United was succeeded by yet another brace in Liverpool's dominant 2-0 triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion, leaving the striker with four goals in his last two English Premier League appearances.
As Liverpool are set to take on a Tottenham Hotspur side that have been especially underwhelming at home—claiming just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also conceded a alarming 21 goals in just 16 EPL encounters—we are anticipating the Reds to have considerable attacking success.
Considering the striking prowess of Ekitike, we are supporting the striker to deliver once more in this one.
Hugo Ekitike to score anytime, 2.30 – 3T83TJV

Villa Park Hosts the Red Devils
The Villans have lost just one of their last 32 matches at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also triumphed in all of their last nine games in all competitions, leaving them with considerable momentum as they prepare to face an extremely 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 coming into this one off the back of a frantic 4-4 draw with Bournemouth—underlining their defensive frailties.
Despite the fact that Manchester United are expected to give Aston Villa a stern test, especially in defence as the Red Devils wield the joint-second best attack in the league with 30 goals accumulated, we anticipate Aston Villa will stand resolute and deliver the victory.
Aston Villa to win, 2.14 – 3T83VMZ
