The Magpies Host the Blues

Eddie Howe's side recovered admirably from the bitter derby setback to Sunderland, claiming a pulsating 2-1 triumph over Fulham to march into the EFL Cup semi-finals during Wednesday's encounter, thanks to Lewis Miley's last-gasp decisive intervention.

The Geordie faithful will be determined to capitalise on that triumph with three crucial points against the Stamford Bridge outfit, and a retreat to their fortress will assuredly fortify their conviction. The statistics speak volumes: they have claimed five, drawn one and lost just two of their eight home EPL fixtures, while they have also won all of their last four home meetings with Chelsea.

While Chelsea stand impressive on the road this term, collecting the most points tally away from home in the league (14 points from eight games), the Blues have been disappointing in recent weeks. With a challenging trip to St James' Park, we are backing the hosts to emerge victorious.

The Citizens Entertain the Hammers

The striking sensation's extraordinary goalscoring record since signing for Manchester City has maintained its trajectory this season, with the striker already netting 23 goals in 22 games across all competitions, with finding the net three in his last two matches.

Haaland has been especially prolific against West Ham for the Citizens, netting nine goals in six appearances against the Hammers. With such remarkable history, we are backing the extraordinary forward to extend his astonishing record with yet another goal.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool

Hugo Ekitike enjoyed a stunning 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 followed 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 matches.

As Liverpool are set to take on a Tottenham Hotspur side that have been particularly poor at home—claiming just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also leaked a significant 21 times in just 16 EPL fixtures—we are backing the Reds to have considerable attacking success.

Combined with the striking prowess of Ekitike, we are supporting the striker to deliver once more in this one.

Villa Park Hosts the Red Devils

Aston Villa have lost only one of their last 32 encounters at Villa Park across all competitions, while they have also triumphed in all of their last nine games in all competitions, blessing them with plenty of belief as they steel themselves to face an extremely inconsistent Manchester United team.

While the Red Devils have lost just one of their last 10 fixtures, Ruben Amorim's side have claimed 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.

While Manchester United are likely 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 accumulated, we anticipate Aston Villa will weather the storm and deliver the victory.
