Live on Sky Sports: Monday 20:00. Fulham v Nottingham Forest. Fulham are going along nicely under Marco Silva and they’ll look to push into the top half of the table with a win over Forest. The Cottagers are a 13/10 chance with Ladbrokes to beat another team who are showing signs of improvement. Sean Dyche has had a steadying influence since taking charge and the visitors are 11/5 with bet365 to claim the spoils.
A repeat of the performance that saw Forest beat Spurs 3-0 could enable them to land the points, although a draw would suit the Midlands side. BoyleSports have 23/10 that the game ends all square and a 1-1 scoreline might not be far away at 11/2 with Bet365.
Live on Sky Sports: Friday 20:00. Man Utd v Newcastle United. Manchester United played well when losing 2-1 at Villa Park and the Red Devils are an 11/8 chance with BoyleSports to beat Newcastle on Boxing Day. They’ll have to contend without the injured Bruno Fernandes and perhaps the Magpies can take advantage. Eddie Howe’s side are a 9/5 chance with William Hill to claim a maximum haul at Old Trafford.
Betfred offer 13/5 that the game ends all square and we might see plenty of goals being scored. Coral offer 8/15 that both teams find the net, with Nick Woltemade priced at 11/2 with bet365 to score the opening goal of the game.
Live on TNT Sports 1: Saturday 12:30. Nottingham Forest v Man City. Manchester City head to the City Ground for this lunchtime encounter and they’re firm favourites to win. Ladbrokes make them an 8/13 chance to overcome a Nottingham Forest team scrapping against relegation right now. However, Sean Dyche has brought about improvement at the Midlands club and they’re 16/5 with Betfred to land a point.
Forest won this fixture last term and they’re a 9/2 chance with Betfred to claim three festive points, although they’ll have to somehow stop Erling Haaland. Bet365 make him a 13/5 chance to break the deadlock and there’s a reasonable chance that Phil Foden will also be among the goals. The England midfielder is 13/2 with the same firm to score first.
Saturday 15:00;
Arsenal’s title challenge continues with a clash against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon, with the Gunners likely to be a popular accumulator pick at 4/9 with Coral. They’re generally hard to beat at the Emirates and a win to nil can be wagered at 29/20 with William Hill. Mikel Arteta’s side are 15/2 with bet365 to claim a 1-0 success and you can get 7/1 with the same firm they win by a 2-0 scoreline.
Liverpool look like banker material when hosting Wolves and Ladbrokes chalk up 2/9 that the Reds can beat a team who have just two Premier League points. It could be an emphatic scoreline and the 7/10 with BoyleSports that Arne Slot’s side lead at half-time and full-time looks very backable. Perhaps Hugo Ekitike will be chief slayer and he’s 14/1 with bet365 to pilfer a hat-trick.
Burnley landed an unexpected point away to Bournemouth and the Clarets are a 16/5 chance with Coral to overcome Everton at Turf Moor. Scott Parker’s side are 23/10 with Ladbrokes to collect another point although they really need victories. The Toffees are the 19/20 favourites with William Hill to claim the spoils and an Under 2.5 Goals bet might well be rewarded at 8/11 with Betfred.
Brentford have made the Gtech Stadium something of a fortress this season, with the Bees favourites to beat AFC Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. Keith Andrews’ side are a 13/10 chance with Betfred to edge out a Cherries side who are not in great form right now. Andoni Iraola’s side can be punted at 2/1 with Bet365 to win in west London and perhaps we’ll see honours even at 13/5 with William Hill.
West Ham United and Fulham meet in a London derby and the Hammers are badly in need of three points. They are 17/10 with Ladbrokes to claim a rare home win and boost their survival hopes, although the Cottagers might be a better option at 8/5 with Bet365. The draw certainly can’t be discounted at 23/10 with Betfred and perhaps a 1-1 scoreline is on the cards at 6/1 with bet365.
Live on Sky Sports: Saturday 17:30. Chelsea v Aston Villa. Chelsea have only won 50% of their home matches although they’re strong favourites to beat Aston Villa in this Saturday teatime clash. The Blues are a 9/10 chance to beat title-chasing opposition, with the Villans hunting down another victory on the road. Some might argue that the 16/5 with Coral about Unai Emery’s side is a fantastic price.
Morgan Rogers is in fantastic form and he’s 3/1 with bet365 to find the net in this game, with his friend Cole Palmer 9/5 with Betfred to be on the scoresheet. A 2-2 draw could be along the right lines and that outcome is a 14/1 chance with bet365.
Live on Sky Sports: Sunday 14:00. Sunderland v Leeds United. Sunderland and Leeds look set to buck the trend when it comes to promoted clubs staying in the Premier League. The Black Cats are sixth in the table and some will argue that the 6/4 with William Hill is a nice price when it comes to beating opponents who have lost six of their eight road games. However, Daniel Farke’s side did recently thrash Palace 4-1 and they’re priced at 15/8 with Betfred.
We might expect defences to be on top at the Stadium of Light and a 1-0 victory in favour of Regis Le Bris’ side can be wagered at 15/2 with bet365, while a 1-1 scoreline might also happen at 11/2 with BoyleSports.
Live on Sky Sports: Sunday 16:30. Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur. Two off-colour London sides meet at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon, with Crystal Palace trading as favourites to beat Spurs. The Eagles are 11/10 with Coral to beat a Tottenham side who will be missing the suspended Xavi Simons and Cristian Romero. It explains why Thomas Frank’s side are 5/2 with Ladbrokes for the win.
You can get 23/10 with BoyleSports that it’s honours even in south London, although we might see Jean-Philippe Mateta on the scoresheet. The Frenchman is 4/1 with Bet365 to break the deadlock and take advantage of defensive frailty within the opposition ranks.
