Peruse further for our carefully curated booking codes, with all odds accurate at the moment of composition:

The Magpies Host the Blues

Eddie Howe's side bounced back from the deflating derby defeat to Sunderland, securing a thrilling 2-1 victory over Fulham to march into the EFL Cup semi-finals during midweek, thanks to Lewis Miley's last-gasp strike.

The Magpies will be aiming to capitalise on that triumph with three crucial points against the West Londoners, and a homecoming to home will assuredly fortify their conviction. After all: they have claimed five, drawn one and lost just two of their eight home EPL fixtures, while they have also dominated all of their last four home encounters with Chelsea.

While Chelsea are strong on the road this term, accumulating the joint-second best points tally on the road in the league (14 points from eight games), the Blues have been inconsistent in recent weeks. With an arduous trip to St James' Park, we are favouring the home side to emerge victorious.

Newcastle United to win, 2.74 – 3T82ZS5

Etihad Encounter

The Norwegian phenomenon's extraordinary goalscoring record since arriving at Manchester City has maintained its trajectory this season, with the forward already plundering 23 goals in 22 games across all competitions, with finding the net three in his last two encounters.

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

Erling Haaland to score anytime, 1.40 – 3T83RWG

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool

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

A brace against Leeds United was complemented with yet another brace in Liverpool's commanding 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, leaving the striker with four goals in his last two English Premier League appearances.

As Liverpool are poised to take on a Tottenham Hotspur side that have been notably disappointing at home—claiming just eight points from eight home league games, while they have also conceded a significant 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 get on the scoresheet in this one.

Aston Villa vs Manchester United

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 momentum as they ready themselves to face an notably unpredictable Manchester United team.

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

While Manchester United are expected 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 expect Aston Villa will hold firm and claim the victory.
