Leicester City vs Liverpool

FA Premier League, King Power Stadium

Live on Amazon Prime – Kick Off: 20:00 GMT

Liverpool return to Premier League action when they travel to Leicester on Boxing Day.

The newly crowned ‘Club World Cup’ champions will be hoping to return to business as usual in the Premier League, where they have not yet lost, and set the pace in this year’s division.

Boxing Day’s clash will be yet another test of Jurgen Klopp’s sides title credentials as they face the team closest to them in the pursuit for Premier League glory.

Leicester meanwhile will be keen to bounce back from their last Premier League outing, where they were well beaten by last seasons Champions, Manchester City. Brenden Rogers’ side will be hoping to return to winning ways having failed to do so in their last two games.

Jurgen Klopp will be expecting more of the same from his Liverpool side, who are unbeaten in the league this season. Liverpool have won sixteen of their seventeen matches in the league this season, and a win would see them go thirteen points clear of second placed Leicester, with a game in hand.

Leicester have lost three times in the league this season but have not yet lost on home soil. Liverpool will have to be at their brilliant best if they are to overcome their latest Premier League obstacle.

These two sides last met at the beginning of October, where a stoppage time James Milner penalty secured all three points for Liverpool. In fact, the Reds are unbeaten in the last five meetings between these two sides, with their last Premier League defeat to Leicester coming in February 2017.

The referee for this encounter is Michael Oliver. The 34-year old has taken charge of fourteen Premier League matches so far this season, accumulating a total of fifty-one yellow cards. This considered, as well as the magnitude of this affair, I would recommend a minimum of 40+ booking points. Oliver has taken charge of Liverpool on three occasions this season; their opening day 4-1 won against Norwich where three yellow cards were awarded, their 2-1 win away at Chelsea where he issued six yellow cards, as well as their 3-1 triumph at home to Manchester City, where two yellow cards were brandished. Oliver has taken charge of Leicester once, their 4-1 win away to Aston Villa where he awarded eight yellow cards.

This match will be shown live on Amazon Prime Video, with kick-off scheduled to take place at 20:00 GMT on Boxing Day.

Reading vs QPR
Thursday 26th December 2019
The Championship, Madejski Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 19:30 GMT

Reading return to the Madejski for the second time in a week when they welcome QPR for some Boxing Day Championship action.

The Royals will be hoping for another positive result to extend their unbeaten run in the Championship. Reading are unbeaten in their last three and have lost once in their last five league encounters.

QPR on the other hand were pegged back late on by Charlton Athletic in their last Championship affair. QPR led twice but had to settle for a share of the spoils thanks to Mouhamadou Sarr’s 95th minute leveller. Mark Warbuton’s side are without a win in their last two matches and will be hoping to put that right on Boxing Day.

Since Mark Bowen’s arrival at Reading, it’s no secret that their form has improved. Since Bowen’s introduction, the Royals have lost four, drawn three and won five. Before his arrival, Reading had only managed two wins in their opening eleven matches of the season.

These sides last locked horns at the end of October and played out an entertaining 2-2 draw. Sam Baldock struck a late equaliser for Reading to ensure a share of the spoils at Loftus Road. It’s QPR who have the superior recent record in this fixture and have lost once in the last nine. Reading’s last win came in this fixture came in March 2018.

The referee for this encounter is James Linington. The Englishman has taken charge of eleven Championship matches so far this season and has awarded thirty-eight yellow cards and three red cards in these fixtures. This considered, I would recommend a minimum of 30+ booking points for this clash. Linington took charge of Reading’s 3-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in August, where he awarded three yellow cards and a red card to Wednesday’s Kieron Westwood. Linington has also been in charge of a game involving QPR too; their 2-1 defeat to Fulham in November where one yellow card was brandished.

This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Football, with kick-off scheduled to take place at 19:30 GMT on Boxing Day.

Manchester United vs Newcastle United
Thursday 26th
December 2019
FA Premier League, Old Trafford

Live on Amazon Prime – Kick Off: 17:30 GMT

Manchester United will play host to Newcastle United in a Premier League Boxing Day match-up.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will want to quickly forget their Watford embarrassment as they lost 2-0 to bottom of the table last time out and make things right and Old Trafford. Meanwhile, Steve Bruce will be wanting to cement their position as a solid mid-table side in the Premier League.

Manchester United are priced at 4/11 to win the match by SkyBet and make up for their Vicarage Road blunder. United are well aware of their form against the ‘lower opposition’ in the table that has led them to having a stop start campaign. Despite their clear errors in their previous outing, one positive was the return of Paul Pogba. The midfielder has not escaped the headlines with his exit rumours but was a class above in his cameo against Watford. He is priced at 2/1 to score anytime.

Newcastle United are priced at 8/1 to win the match and pull off a shock that would continue their good form in the league. The Toon are going well in the league under Steve Bruce – who is proving many doubters wrong. They have much more of an attacking presence in recent weeks and this is shown by their three wins from their last four matches.

Last time, Miguel Almiron finally broke his duck and scored his first Newcastle goal in their 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace. He is priced at a huge 8/1 to net again as his confidence grows in black and white.

The referee for this match will be Kevin Friend. The official has been rather quick to brandish his cards this campaign and has averaged 40.4 booking points from his 12 top-flight encounters. SkyBet are offering 1/1 for 40+ booking points.

The match will be televised on Amazon Prime Video and kicks off at 17:30.

Prediction: Manchester United 1-0 Newcastle United

– It should be a tight affair but United should just steal it.

Leeds United vs Preston North End
Thursday 26th
 December 2019
The Championship, Elland Road

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 17:15 GMT

Leeds United host Preston North End in a top end SkyBet Championship clash this Boxing Day.

Both sides will be hoping for a late Christmas present of three points – with plenty at stake for these two high flying sides. Leeds United are looking to get a firmer grip on the top two spots in their hot pursuit of league leaders West Brom. Meanwhile, Preston are in the middle of a rather large play-off race, of which they are currently 5th.

Leeds United are priced at 2/5 to win the match by SkyBet and continue their impressive season heading into the transfer window. Marcelo Bielsa’s have their eyes firmly set on the automatic promotion places and will be looking to bolster their squad in January. However, they face a tough test in Preston following their shock defeat to Fulham.

They will want to prove a point and Patrick Bamford has been on good form recently, with three goals in his last two matches. He is price boosted to score a brace at 11/2.

Preston North End are priced at 13/2 to win the match and pull off a mighty victory in their bid for a play-off place. The visitors face a tough test and so much poorer when playing away from home. They have managed just two wins from eleven road matches this season – a shocking stat given their high league position.

Paul Gallagher netted in their 2-1 win over Luton recently and is priced at 7/1 to score anytime this Boxing Day.

The referee for this match will be Darren Bond. The official has not been shy when reaching into his pocket this season and has averaged 36.8 booking points from his 14 second division matches in charge. SkyBet are offering 4/5 for 40+ booking points.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 17:15.

Prediction: Leeds United 2-1 Preston North End

– The hosts have a little bit more quality and a point to prove after their previous defeat.

Match Betting Preview - Bournemouth vs Arsenal. Thursday 26th December 2019, FA Premier League - Vitality Stadium. Live on Amazon Prime Video – Kick-Off: 15:00 GMT.

Bournemouth vs Arsenal
Thursday 26th
December 2019
FA Premier League, Vitality Stadium

Live on Amazon Prime – Kick Off: 15:00 GMT

Bournemouth return to the Vitality for the second time in a week when they welcome Arsenal in the Premier League for some Boxing Day action.

Thursday’s game will start a new era for the Gunners, following Mikel Arteta’s appointment as manager. Arteta succeeded fellow Spaniard Unai Emery who was sacked in November following a poor run of form.

New boss Arteta will be hoping to become the man to fill the managerial void left by Arsene Wenger, who left the club in 2018 after a 22-year stint.

Bournemouth will be keen to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Burnley in their last Premier League encounter. Inconsistency has been Eddie Howe’s sides Achilles heel this season. Before last weekend’s defeat, Bournemouth beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, a win which was expected to begin an upturn in form on the south-coast.

Arsenal too have suffered inconsistencies of their own this season, and Mikel Arteta’s primary objective will be to get the Gunners as high up the table as possible. Freddie Ljungberg’s final match in interim charge was a dull 0-0 draw to Everton.

The last time these two sides met Arsenal ran out 1-0 winners at the Emirates thanks to David Luiz’s 9th minute header. In fact, in the nine meetings between these two sides in their club’s history, Arsenal have won seven, and drawn once. Bournemouth’s only win in this fixture came in January 2018 where they won 2-1 at the Vitality. Eddie Howe’s side will be hoping or a similar outcome on Thursday.

The referee for this encounter is John Moss. The 49-year old has taken charge of 12 Premier League matches this season, accumulating a total of forty-five yellow cards. This considered, I would recommend a minimum of 30+ boking points for this fixture. Moss took charge of Arsenal’s 3-2 win over Aston Villa in September where he awarded eleven yellow cards. Moss is yet to oversee a match involving Bournemouth in the Premier League so far this campaign.

This match will be shown live on Amazon Prime Video, with kick-off scheduled to take place at 15:00 GMT on Boxing Day.

Prediction: Bournemouth 1-3 Arsenal

Brentford vs Swansea City
Thursday 26th
 December 2019
The Championship, Griffin Park

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 15:00 GMT

Brentford return to Championship action on Boxing Day when they welcome Swansea City to Griffin Park.

Brentford sit sixth, meanwhile Swansea occupy seventh, with a point separating the two. Both sides will be wanting to land the knockout blow on Boxing Day.

The Bee’s will be hoping to build on their positive point away at leaders West Bromwich Albion last time round, a match in which they dominated for large parts and enjoyed more of the ball.

Thomas Frank’s side are in fine form, losing once in their last five.

Swansea too are on a fine run of form and have lost one in their last four. Andre Ayew’s late winner against Luton extended the Swans’ unbeaten run, and they will be hoping it continues over the Christmas period.

Brentford were 3-0 winners the last time these two met, a win which ended a phenomenal Swansea winning run in this fixture. Before Brentford’s win just over two months ago, Swansea were unbeaten in the last nine meetings, winning eight, a run which stretched back to March 2006.

A win for either side on Thursday will see them reach forty points, and if other results go in their favour, it could see them go as high as third.

Steve Cooper’s side have lost once on the road in the Championship this season, and SkyBet are offering odds of an away win at 17/4.

The referee for this fixture is Andy Woolmer. The 53-year old has taken charge of thirteen Championship matches this season, accumulating a total of thirty-eight yellow cards, and one red card. This considered I would recommend a minimum of 20+ booking points for this fixture. Woolmer has taken charge of Brentford twice so far this season; their 0-0 draw to Stoke in September where he awarded three yellow cards, and in their 1-0 defeat to QPR in October, where he also awarded three yellow cards. Woolmer has overseen a match involving Swansea once, their 1-1 draw with Barnsley, where two yellow cards were awarded.

This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Football, with kick-off scheduled to take place at 15:00 GMT on Boxing Day.

Tottenham vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Thursday 26th
December 2019
FA Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Live on Amazon Prime – Kick Off: 12:30 GMT

Tottenham will host Brighton and Hove Albion in a Premier League Boxing Day bust-up.

Spurs are looking to continue pushing for the top four places after a couple setbacks in recent weeks with losses against Chelsea and Manchester United. Meanwhile, Brighton are chugging along nicely as they aim to keep an arm’s length between themselves and the drop zone.

Tottenham are priced at 4/7 to win the match by SkyBet and bounce back from their poor showing against Chelsea. Jose Mourinho has given Spurs a new lease of life since taking the hot-seat but suffered his worst defeat yet last time out against Frank Lampard’s Chelsea. The hosts will want to right that wrong as they have fallen a couple places down the table to 7th.

Going forward, Harry Kane has been his usual clinical self and has nine goals so far this term. He is priced at 14/5 to open the scoring.

Brighton and Hove Albion are priced at 9/2 to win the match and pull off a shock victory away in London. Graham Potter’s side have become much more resilient this season and have been a tough team to crack at times. However, they enter this match without a win in three matches and Spurs are their hardest test in comparison. Three of Brighton’s last four defeats have seen them crumble in the first half, and Spurs will be looking to start quick.

Neal Maupay has been the standout this season for the South Coast outfit with seven goals to his name. He is priced at 7/4 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Graham Scott. The official has been one of the more lenient in the topflight this season – with an average of 34.5 booking points from his 10 Premier League matches. SkyBet are offering 7/4 for 40+ booking points.

The match will be televised on Amazon Prime Video and will kicks off at 12:30.

Prediction: Tottenham 3-1 Brighton and Hove Albion

– The hosts need a win and will be all up for giving their fans a late Christmas present.

Blackburn Rovers vs Wigan Athletic
Monday 23rd
 December 2019
The Championship, Ewood Park

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 19:45 GMT

Blackburn Rovers host Wigan Athletic just before Christmas day in SkyBet Championship action this Monday.

The hosts are in great form under Tony Mowbray with five wins from their last six league matches and the other a draw. They will be confident heading into this one. Meanwhile, Wigan are 23rd in the league and without a win in ten matches. They face tough opposition away from home.

Blackburn Rovers are priced at 3/4 to win the match by SkyBet and continue their rich vein of form. The Rovers are in promotion form as they have their eyes set on the top six play-off places. They are currently 9thin the league, one points off sixth. Their home form make for good reading and will only stand them in good stead for Monday night with 21 points claimed from eleven matches on home turf.

Going forward, Bradley Dack has been in fine form this term with nine goals and one assist to his name. He is priced at 15/8 to score anytime

Wigan are priced at 19/5 to win the match and get out of their current slump. The Latics are in dire need of a victory as relegation looms as we hit the halfway point in the season. Blackburn are probably the last team they want to travel to now, given their form – but, we know this league can be full of surprises.

Amazingly, centre-back Cheyenne Dunkley is their top goal scorer this season having netted five times. The defender is a powerhouse off a set-piece with his deadly aerial ability and is priced at 8/1 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Gavin Ward. The official has been one of the more lenient this season in England’s second division – with an average of 32.9 booking points from his 12 matches in charge.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Wigan Athletic

– The hosts should have an easy evening against the struggling visitors for an early Christmas present.

FA Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Main Event HD – Kick Off: 16:30 GMT

Tottenham return to Premier League action this weekend as they welcome Chelsea to the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

It’s a highly anticipated encounter as fledgling Spurs’ boss Jose Mourinho faces his old club Chelsea. Sunday is the first time that the Portuguese has faced the Blues as Tottenham’s new manager.

Spurs enter this weekend’s fixture in a fine run of form and have won four of Mourinho’s five Premier League matches since his arrival at the end of November. Jan Vertonghen was the hero last time round, as his stoppage time winner secured all three points against Wolves. Spurs currently sit 5th, three points and a place behind Chelsea.

Chelsea on the other hand will be eager to return to winning ways in the Premier League following their surprising defeat to Bournemouth last time round. Frank Lampard has seen his side lose four of their last five in the league. Chelsea have lost more Premier League matches in the last five then they managed in the twelve matches prior.

In the Premier League last season both sides managed a win apiece. Chelsea won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, meanwhile Spurs were victorious 3-1 at Wembley, their part-time home ground for last season. Chelsea’s last win away to Spurs came over two years, in August 2017 where they won 2-1 thanks to a brace from Marcos Alonso.

The referee for this clash is Anthony Taylor. The 41-year old has taken charge of fourteen Premier League matches so far this season, accumulating a total of sixty-nine yellow cards, and two red cards. This considered, as well as the magnitude of the game, I would recommend a minimum of 40+ booking points for this fixture. Sunday’s fixture is the second time Taylor has taken charge of a London Derby concerning these two in the Premier League, with his last coming in 2017. Taylor awarded four yellow cards in Chelsea’s 2-1 win at Wembley.

This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Football, with kick-off scheduled for 16:30 GMT on Sunday afternoon.

Bottom of the league Watford host high-flyers Manchester United in Premier League action this Sunday.

The Hornets are having a torrid time with just one win from their 17 league matches so far. Nigel Pearson will be hunting for his first win in charge of the club. Meanwhile, United have hit form with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a period of doubt and are unbeaten in five matches across all competitions.

Watford are priced at 10/3 to win the match by SkyBet and finally get their season back on track with a win. Nigel Pearson is still settling into his life at Watford but needs to make an impact quickly, with them six points from safety for now. The Hornets have scored just once in their last six matches – proving their problems are at the front as well as the back. United are a counter attacking side and could punish them on the break with their poor organisation.

Winger Gerard Deulofeu was the club’s last match winner and home goal scorer and is priced at 14/5 to score anytime.

Manchester United are priced at 4/5 to win the match and continue their unbeaten run. Solskjaer’s side have gone six matches unbeaten in the Premier League with every one of those matches seeing both teams scoring. They are priced at 9/4 to win and Watford to score.

Going forward, Marcus Rashford is in the form of his life with ten league goals and has scored in three of his last four outings in all competitions. He is priced at 10/11 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Lee Mason. The official has not been shy with his cards this term, with an average of 37.9 booking points from his seven topflight matches. Last time they met there were 30 booking points.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event HD and kicks off at 14:00.
