Saturday, December 26th
BST 15:00 Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace
Making another heavyweight statement last weekend as they stormed their way to a 3-0 victory away at Manchester United, Bournemouth are enjoying what has become a sensational flurry.
Continuing to receive a string of plaudits from across the Premier League, Andoni Iraola’s side find themselves at the heart of a European scrap.
With the mood around the Vitality at the red-hot high, the former Rayo Vallecano boss has seen his squad register 13 points from just their previous five Premier League appearances.
Signing off November with an action-packed 4-2 victory against Wolves, Bournemouth have also gained a reputation for their clinical performances in the final third.
Notching 11 goals on their five-match purple patch and suffering just a single defeat at the Vitality since the middle of September, the Cherries should be smelling an opportunity here.
While Crystal Palace might have sprung a major upset on December 15th as they clinched a 3-1 romp away at arch-rivals Brighton, the Seagulls have come crashing back down to earth.
Watching their EFL Cup adventure come to an end last week as they fell to an action-packed 3-2 loss against Arsenal, Oliver Glasner’s side failed to claim some immediate revenge as they put in a nightmare performance in south London.
Eventually falling to a 5-1 drumming against the Gunners at Selhurst Park, the ex-Eintracht Frankfurt boss should be bracing himself for a stern examination here.
Hit with a 1-0 loss when they last travelled to the Vitality back in April and still looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, we are backing a home victory on Boxing Day.
Betting Tip: Bournemouth win @ 1/1
15:00 Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham
While Nottingham Forest might have only just about dragged themselves to Premier League safety last season, Nuno Espirito Santo has seen his squad embark on a sensational rise this time around.
Only continuing to underline their status as one of Europe’s ultimate surprise packages, Thursday’s hosts opened Christmas Day sat in the Champions League spots.
Putting in another dominant display last weekend as they claimed an eye-catching 2-0 victory away at Brentford, the former Wolves boss has seen his squad break a string of records over the past few months.
Making a statement on December 14thy as they secured a dramatic 2-1 win at home against Aston Villa, Forest have won their last three Premier League appearances by an aggregate score of 7-3.
It should also be highlighted, the one-time European champions have recorded 12 points from their previous five Premier League showdowns.
Putting in another nightmare performance last weekend as they eventually fell to an infamous 6-3 drumming at home against Liverpool, Tottenham find themselves at the heart of a real crisis.
With the pressure on Ange Postecoglou’s shoulders really starting to mount, Spurs are scrapping it out in the bottom-half of the Premier League table.
Winning just a pair of their previous eight appearances across all competitions, the former Celtic boss will also have a major headache over his side’s glaring defensive struggles.
Shipping nine goals in their back-to-back domestic showdowns over the past week and facing a real uphill battle in the race to book any kind of European ticket, Tottenham have also put just a pair of clean sheets on the board since the end of October.
Betting Tip: Nottingham Forest draw no bet @ 4/5
20:00 Liverpool vs Leicester
While many around Anfield might have been left heartbroken over the summer as Jurgen Clop bid farewell to the red half of Merseyside, Liverpool have embarked on an astonishing rise since Arne Slot’s arrival.
Storming their way to an action-packed 6-3 victory away at Tottenham last weekend, the former Feyenoord boss has his sights firmly set on completing an iconic silverware sweep in 2025.
Opening Christmas Day sat holding a four-point buffer at the top of the Premier League table, Thursday’s guests find the mood around Anfield at a famous high.
Suffering just a single defeat across any competition so far this season and storming their way to a Champions League quarter-final ticket with a 100% record, Liverpool have also gained a fearsome reputation for their clinical performances.
In fact, the Reds have notched 37 goals in their 16 Premier League appearances so far this season and no club among England’s elite can boast a better attacking return.
Although Leicester might have got Ruud van Nistelrooy’s tenure underway with a much-needed 3-1 victory against West Ham on December 3rd, the Foxes have come crashing back down to earth.
Missing out on what was a golden opportunity last weekend as they slumped to a woeful 3-0 drumming at home against fellow strugglers Wolves, Thursday’s guests are at the heart of a relegation scrap.
Losing their back-to-back Premier League appearances over the past week by an aggregate score of 7-0, Leicester have also put just a single win on the board since October 19th.
Now holding just a two-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone, the Foxes couldn’t have asked for a tougher festive challenge when they travel to Anfield on Boxing Day.
