Liverpool are beginning to stretch away from the chasing pack in the Premier League, but they know they will need to be at their best to keep the chasing pack at bay over the festive period. They travel to Newcastle next, a side who are very dangerous at home and who will be bang up for the challenge of playing Arne Slot’s men. Elsewhere, Chelsea will be looking to keep up their top 4 push on the road at Southampton, as will Aston Villa, who face a tricky looking home tie against Brentford.
Newcastle United vs Liverpool – Liverpool to win
19/20 at Rhino Bet
How far Liverpool can go under Arne Slot appears to be limitless and the reds will be chomping at the bit here in the North East. Newcastle always make it tough for visitors and have already taken points off Manchester City and Arsenal at home this season, making them a very dangerous prospect. However, Liverpool are purring all over the pitch at the moment and they should have far too much about them for Newcastle here, regardless of the ferocious atmosphere expected by many punters and EPL betting sites.
Aston Villa vs Brentford – Aston Villa to win
8/11 at Betzone
Coping with Champions League commitments has added an extra level of difficulty to Aston Villa’s Premier League season and their squad is being seriously stretched under Unai Emery. They take on Brentford next, with the Bees eager to build on their strong start to the campaign. Brentford have been stronger at home than they have on the road, but they are always a tough nut to crack, and they have a confident group under Thomas Frank. However, Aston Villa need a home win in the Premier League, and they should get one here.
Southampton vs Chelsea – Chelsea to win
1/2 at Rhino Bet
Chelsea have been quietly going about their business under Enzo Maresca and they will be looking to keep the points ticking in, as they travel to Southampton. The Saints are slumped at the bottom of the table, but they picked up a good point at Brighton last time out and do play some very good football. Chelsea meanwhile are continuing to plod along this season, and they have some top quality operators in their ranks. This should be a very watchable one down on the south coast, with Chelsea likely to pick up an important win.
