Premier League: Predictions for all seven Boxing Day games

Tottenham’s trip to Brentford gets things off to a cracking start at 12.30pm, while Newcastle’s visit to Leicester is one of four games taking place at 3pm.

At 5.30pm, Aston Villa play host to Liverpool, while the final Boxing Day action will see table-toppers Arsenal take on West Ham at the Emirates Stadium.

Brentford vs Tottenham (Monday, 12.30pm)

Brentford have been solid at home this season, winning three, drawing three and losing only one of their seven games at Gtech Community Stadium, and they will undoubtedly test Tottenham’s inconsistent defensive structure with Ivan Toney to the fore.

Toney, who scored a remarkable long-range effort as one of two goals against Wolfsburg last Saturday, could be a handful for Spurs as he seeks to show England what they missed at the World Cup.

The Bees hitman has bagged six in his last seven appearances and looks a good option to score anytime at 7/5 with LiveScore Bet.

Crystal Palace vs Fulham (Monday, 3pm)

Crystal Palace have conceded eight goals in seven home games in the Premier League while managing to keep just one clean sheet during that run.

That trend suggests both the Eagles and Fulham, who have scored in each of their last six road games, can find the back of the net in Monday’s game at 7/10 with LiveScore Bet.

Everton vs Wolves (Monday, 3pm)

With issues going forward the primary problem for both of these teams, it is not hard to envisage a low-scoring affair at Goodison Park.

For this pair that are rooted at the wrong end of the table, aiming not to lose this clash may be more important to them than winning it.

As a result, this is a match that could be decided by a goal or less and under 1.5 goals is the fancied selection at 2/1 with LiveScore Bet.

Leicester vs Newcastle (Monday, 3pm)

These two sides are both trending in the right direction and, with confidence flowing, there could be goals on the agenda.

Leicester have scored two or more goals in six of their last seven games across all competitions, while Newcastle have netted in 12 of their 15 league fixtures this term.

There have been 24 goals scored across the last six meetings between these two sides — an average of four-per-game — which makes over 3.5 goals to be scored in Monday’s contest the preferred option at 2/1 with LiveScore Bet.

Southampton vs Brighton (Monday, 3pm)

Neither side are approaching this game full of confidence so both may look to adopt a more cautious approach.

The onus will be more on Southampton being the home side and of course, Jones will be eager to get his first Premier League win with the Saints languishing in the bottom three.

Brighton would probably accept a point against Southampton and they still lie seventh despite their ropey recent form. A draw is 13/5 on LiveScore Bet.

Aston Villa vs Liverpool (Monday, 5.30pm)

Liverpool showed signs of progress against Man City in midweek, but in the end, the attacking talent of the Citizens proved too much.

Games involving Liverpool this season have been lively affairs, and three of their last five matches have contained at least three goals.

Over 2.5 goals has also landed in seven of Liverpool’s last ten games away from Anfield in the Premier League, and for now, it seems that for Liverpool to win, they have to score at least two goals.

Their defensive woes do not look like they will let up, but considering their record at Villa Park, an away win and over 2.5 goals appeals at 29/20 with LiveScore Bet.

Arsenal vs West Ham (Monday, 8pm)

It will be interesting to see how Arsenal fare without the injured Jesus, with Eddie Nketiah expected to get his chance to lead the line.

That is a tough act to follow and could ensure Arsenal are a bit below their best, although they are six from six in the league at the Emirates.

West Ham have plenty to prove themselves as their squad has been stretched by Europa Conference League commitments.

Improvement is at some point expected but they too have their injury concerns and have managed only one win from seven away games this term.

With only three goals scored on the road, Michail Antonio being doubtful is far from ideal, so Arsenal are still taken to edge a tight contest.

The Hammers have lost just one of their last 20 games by more than one goal so expect them to stay tight and compact, making it difficult for the hosts to break them down.

Arsenal to win by one goal can be backed at 21/10 with LiveScore Bet, which has happened in three of the last five meetings between these sides.
