Newcastle United vs Chelsea

Eddie Howe's side recovered admirably from the bitter derby setback to Sunderland, securing a pulsating 2-1 victory over Fulham to march into the EFL Cup semi-finals during Wednesday's encounter, via Lewis Miley's injury-time decisive intervention.

The Geordie faithful will be determined to build upon that momentum with a league triumph against the Blues, and a return to St James' Park will assuredly fortify their conviction. The statistics speak volumes: they have won five, drawn one and lost only two of their eight home EPL encounters, while they have also dominated all of their last four home encounters with Chelsea.

While Chelsea are impressive on the road this term, amassing the joint-second best points tally in hostile territory in the league (fourteen from eight excursions), the Blues have been disappointing in recent weeks. With an arduous trip to St James' Park, we are supporting the home side to win.

Newcastle United to win, 2.74 – 3T82ZS5

Manchester City vs West Ham United

The striking sensation's remarkable goalscoring catalogue since arriving at Manchester City has maintained its trajectory this season, with the striker already accumulating 23 goals in 22 outings across all competitions, including scoring three in his last two matches.

Haaland has been especially lethal against West Ham for the Citizens, scoring nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. Considering such stunning form, we are supporting the sublime forward to extend his devastating record with yet another goal.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool

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

A brace against Leeds United was followed by another brace in Liverpool's dominant 2-0 triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion, the striker with four goals in his last two English Premier League matches.

As Liverpool are poised to take on a Tottenham Hotspur side that have been notably underwhelming at home—mustering just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also shipped a troubling 21 times in just 16 EPL encounters—we are expecting the Reds to have abundant attacking success.

Considering the clinical touch of Ekitike, we are supporting the striker to deliver once more in this one.

Midlands Showdown

The Villans have lost merely one of their last 32 matches at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also claimed all of their last nine games in all competitions, leaving them with plenty of confidence as they prepare to face an remarkably erratic Manchester United team.

While the Red Devils have lost merely one of their last 10 encounters, Ruben Amorim's side have claimed only two of their last seven EPL encounters, and they are heading into this one off the back of a wild 4-4 draw with Bournemouth—underlining their vulnerability at the back.

Although Manchester United are set to give Aston Villa a robust test, particularly in defence as the Red Devils possess the joint-second best attack in the league with 30 goals registered, we expect Aston Villa will stand resolute and claim the victory.
