As we enter a stacked festive Premier League schedule, the fixtures have really started to pile up at both ends of the table.
With Arsenal once again look to make up some ground in this season’s title chase, we have four Premier League showdowns on the cards across Sunday afternoon.
On a Sunday schedule that is highlighted by Tottenham vs Chelsea from north London, we have taken an in-depth look at some of the most appealing Premier League betting tips.
Sunday, December 8th
14:00 Fulham vs Arsenal
Although Arsenal might have entered November’s international break in the midst of a real wobble, the Gunners have come roaring back in a sensational fashion over the past few weeks.
Claiming what was a deserved 2-0 victory against historic rivals Manchester United earlier in the week, Mikel Arteta’s young squad are once again firing on all cylinders.
Storming their way to an action-packed 5-2 victory away at West Ham last weekend, Sunday’s guests have now won each of their previous four appearances across all competitions.
Gaining a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, Arsenal have notched 15 goals on their four-match winning run across all fronts and they will be desperate to make up more ground in the Premier League title chase.
Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat seven points adrift of a high-flying Liverpool, Arteta’s squad know that they can not afford any more public slip-ups.
Although Fulham might have marked their return from November’s fortnight interval with a nightmare 4-1 drumming at the hands of relegation scrappers Wolves, the Cottagers have gained plenty of plaudits so far this season.
Clearly enjoying life under Marco Silva, some around west London have even set their sights on mounting a genuine European charge this season.
Last seen earlier in the week picking up an eye-catching 3-1 victory against Brighton, the former Everton boss has seen his squad suffer just a single defeat from any of their last six Premier League appearances.
However, despite riding a real wave of momentum, it should be noted that Fulham have recorded just a sole Premier League clean sheet since the end of September.

14:00 Leicester vs Brighton
While Brighton might have enjoyed a sensational start to life under new boss Fabian Hurzeler, the Seagulls do have the feel of a squad seeking some recent stability.
Eventually falling to what was a routine 3-1 loss away at Fulham earlier in the week, the former St. Pauli boss has seen his squad come tumbling out of the Champions League spots.
Missing out on what they had billed as a golden opportunity last weekend as they had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate at home against leading relegation contenders Southampton, Sunday’s guests have won just a pair of their previous six appearances across all competitions.
Watching their EFL Cup adventure come to an end on October 30th as they fell to a pulsating 3-2 loss at the hands of Liverpool, Brighton will know the importance of finding some crucial defensive steel.
Despite heading into November’s international break with a famous 2-1 win against defending champions Manchester City, Brighton have put just a single Premier League clean sheet on the board since the middle of September.
Getting Ruud van Nistelrooy’s tenure underway with a thumping 3-1 victory at home against West Ham in midweek, Leicester will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on.
Only making their Premier League return this season, the Foxes know that keeping hold of their top-flight status is simply their only priority this time around.
Desperate to widen their buffer over the drop zone and collect back-to-back Premier League victories, Leicester are also seeking their own crucial defensive resolve.
Including a 4-1 drumming against Brentford last weekend, Leicester have already shipped 28 goals so far this season and hold the third-worst defensive tally among England’s elite.

16:30 Tottenham vs Chelsea
While some around Stamford Bridge might have been shocked over the summer following Enzo Maresca’s arrival, the Blues have embarked on a sensational rise under the former Leicester boss.
With the mood around Stamford Bride at a red-hot high and continuing to receive a string of plaudits from across the continent, Sunday’s guests have even been billed as a potential title dark horse.
Opening this weekend’s fixtures remarkably sat second in the standings, Chelsea have lost just one of their first 14 Premier League appearances so far this season and they will be looking to collect another heavyweight scalp here.
Putting in another dominant display earlier in the week as they stormed their way to a 5-1 romp away at Southampton, Maresca’s side are riding a major wave of momentum.
Opening December with an eye-catching performance as they claimed a 3-0 victory at home against Aston Villa, Chelsea have won each of their last three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 12-2.
Putting in another downbeat display on Thursday night as they slumped to a deserved 1-0 loss away at Bournemouth, Tottenham have continued to show some glaring issues this season.
Facing a real uphill battle in the race to book a Champions League return this season, Spurs have recorded just a single win from any of their last six matchups across all formats.
With some sections of the north London support growing frustrated with Ange Postecoglou’s tactics, Tottenham are desperately seeking some kind of stability.
Failing to collect back-to-back Premier League wins since the end of September, Spurs have also gained a reputation for their extended issues at the back.
