Reason for Tip

Man City are on fire currently and show no signs of slowing down. This will be a tough game at the stadium of light, but we like City’s quality to shine through there.

Reason for Tip

City love goals. Sunderland have been the surprise packages. We expect goals here.

Reason for Tip

Our go too market this year with corners increasing across the board and an emphasis on set pieces rather than in play football. Both teams being attacking also leads to saves and corners too.

Reason for Tip

Phil Foden has been in exceptional form for Man City this year, re-descovering the goals and assists of previous seasons. Sunderland have been great this year but the gaps in the half spaces could allow Foden to pop shots from outside the box.

Reason for Tip

Liverpool are on a small unbeaten run despite their inconsistencies this season and at Anfield, they will fancy their chances to continue this on forwards.

Reason for Tip

Liverpool games tend to mean goals, whether they are scoring or conceding. The last game against Leeds entertained 6 goals in a 3-3 and even against the worst team in the league in Wolves, over 2.5 landed.

Reason for Tip

Our go too market this year with corners increasing across the board and an emphasis on set pieces rather than in play football. Both teams being attacking also leads to saves and corners too.

Reason for Tip

Ekitike has lit up the premier league in his debut season and is leading the line for Liverpool every single game. In the previous game against Leeds, he scored 2 against them with some very well taken finishes and we fancy him to at least get a shot on target too.

Reason for Tip

Relegation threatened Nottingham Forest host twelfth place Everton in what should be a close match. Within the previous five head-to-head matches the visitors Everton have the advantage, winning four games and losing once.

Reason for Tip

Perfect opportunity for the hosts Manchester United to gain three points tonight, as they host winless and relegation inevitable Wolves in what should be a routine match for the hosts. The visitors Wolves truly do come in-to the match in awful form, losing all twelve of their previous twelve matches.

Reason for Tip

The hosts Hibernian have been involved in eight matches resulting in two or more goals within their previous nine matches, meanwhile the visitors Aberdeen have been involved in four matches resulting in over 1.5 match goals within their previous four games.

Reason for Tip

The hosts Livingston have been involved in three matches resulting in over 1.5 match goals within their previous four games, meanwhile the visitors Dundee have been involved in four matches resulting in over 1.5 match goals within their previous five matches.

Reason for Tip

The hosts Chelsea have been involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches, managing to score in all five games. Meanwhile the visitors Bournemouth have been involved in three matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous three games.

Reason for Tip

The hosts West Ham have been involved in seven matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous ten matches. Within the previous five head-to-head matches involving the two sides, four games have resulted in both teams scoring.

Reason for Tip

The league leaders Arsenal host third place Aston Villa in what should be an end-to-end match. You would need to go back twenty-five matches until you find the previous match Arsenal failed to score, meanwhile the visitors Aston Villa come in-to the match in excellent scoring form themselves, managing to score in fourteen of their previous fifteen matches.

Reason for Tip

The hosts Rangers have managed to score in all five of their previous five matches, meanwhile the visitors St Mirren have managed to score in four of their previous five matches. Within the previous five head-to-head matches, four have resulted in both teams scoring.

Chelsea v Bournemouth – Bet Builder, Tips and Predictions

30 Dec – 19:30 | Premier League
Venue: Stamford Bridge

Chelsea v Bournemouth Preview

Chelsea return to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night knowing that anything less than three points will be viewed as a disappointment, as Enzo Maresca’s side look to halt a wobble in form that has seen them win just once in their last three Premier League outings.

A frustrating 2-2 draw away at Newcastle United was followed by a damaging 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa despite Chelsea holding a first-half lead. That loss, in particular, will not have sat well with Maresca, especially given that it came on home soil where the Blues had previously impressed with a 2-0 league win over Everton and a comfortable 3-1 EFL Cup victory away at Cardiff City.

AFC Bournemouth, meanwhile, arrive in west London firmly under pressure after their alarming slide continued with a heavy 4-1 defeat away at Brentford. That result extended the Cherries’ winless run to nine matches in all competitions, including five defeats, and their struggles on the road remain a major concern.

Andoni Iraola’s side have managed just one win in nine away league games this season, and another trip to the capital looks daunting against a Chelsea team desperate to reassert control and restore confidence in front of their own supporters.

Reason for Tip

Arsenal remain one of the strongest home sides in the Premier League and have dropped very few points at the Emirates this season. Their ability to control games, limit high quality chances and manage pressure late on has been a defining feature of their campaign.

While Aston Villa have been excellent overall, Arsenal’s home dominance and superior control in possession-heavy matches gives them a narrow edge here. Villa are capable of causing problems, but sustaining that threat for 90 minutes at the Emirates is a different challenge altogether.

This selection leans on Arsenal’s consistency at home rather than Villa’s excellent overall form.

Reason for Tip

Despite both teams having strong attacking players, this fixture rarely turns into a goal fest.

Arsenal matches are typically well managed and structured, especially against top sides. They are comfortable slowing games down once ahead and limiting space between the lines. Villa, meanwhile, are disciplined and rarely get dragged into chaotic end to end matches.

With both teams respecting the importance of the fixture, four or more goals feels unlikely. A controlled contest with moments of quality rather than chaos is the more realistic scenario.

Reason for Tip

This is a strong angle given how both sides build attacks.

Arsenal generate consistent pressure through wide areas, particularly when pushing full backs high and recycling possession. Villa also contribute to corner counts through counter attacking phases and defensive clearances under pressure.

Matches involving Arsenal regularly produce healthy corner counts, especially at the Emirates where sustained territorial dominance often forces repeated defensive actions.

Reason for Tip

This fixture has all the hallmarks of a physical, tactical battle.

Both sides rank among the more intense pressing teams in the league and neither will shy away from tactical fouls to stop transitions. The midfield zones are likely to be congested, with duels and recovery challenges frequent throughout the game.

With the stakes high and emotions elevated, four or more cards is a very realistic outcome.

Reason for Tip

Arsenal are one of the most shot heavy sides in the league, particularly at home where they sustain long spells of pressure.

Even if Villa defend well, their goalkeeper is likely to be tested repeatedly through shots from distance, cut backs and set piece situations. This does not require Arsenal to dominate the scoreboard, only to apply consistent pressure in the final third.

A minimum of three saves is a very reasonable expectation in this fixture.

Reason for Tip

John McGinn plays a physically demanding role in Villa’s midfield, regularly tasked with disrupting rhythm and closing down space between the lines.

Against technically gifted players like Ødegaard and Rice, McGinn is almost guaranteed to be involved in duels and recovery challenges. His role naturally lends itself to fouls, especially in transition moments.

One or more fouls is well within expectation.

Reason for Tip

Amadou Onana operates as a defensive shield and is often required to step out of shape to break up play. Against Arsenal’s movement and quick combinations, this frequently results in late or tactical fouls.

Given the tempo and physical nature of this matchup, this selection fits naturally within the flow of the game.

Reason for Tip

Bukayo Saka remains Arsenal’s most consistent attacking outlet and is heavily involved in both shot creation and goal threat.

He regularly finds space in the final third, whether cutting inside or attacking the back post. Against a Villa side that defends deep at times, Saka should see enough of the ball to register at least one effort on target.

This is one of the safer player based angles in the market.

Reason for Tip

Chelsea at Stamford Bridge continue to play front-foot football, averaging well over 1.7 goals per home game, but clean sheets have remained elusive due to their aggressive positioning and high defensive line. Bournemouth are one of the more reliable scoring sides outside the top six, finding the net in over 70% of their away league matches, driven by quick transitions and direct wide play. Chelsea’s superior chance volume, possession control and squad depth give them the edge to win, but Bournemouth’s ability to exploit space on the counter makes BTTS a strong companion angle.

Reason for Tip

Forest’s home form has been a key strength this season, with points collected in the majority of games at the City Ground, where they play with far greater intensity and confidence. Everton remain competitive but continue to struggle away from home, averaging under a goal per game on the road and showing vulnerability when forced to defend sustained pressure. Forest’s direct running, set-piece threat and physical edge give them a strong platform in this matchup, particularly against an Everton side that often fades late on.

Reason for Tip

Arsenal remain one of the league’s most consistent attacking sides, scoring in virtually every home league fixture, driven by high shot volume and fluid movement in the final third. Villa, meanwhile, have developed into a reliable scoring unit themselves, averaging over 1.5 goals per game, but are far less secure defensively against top-six opposition. With both sides preferring to attack rather than manage games conservatively, and neither defence particularly watertight in high-tempo matches, BTTS is strongly supported.

Reason for Tip

Manchester United matches continue to trend high-scoring, with their league games averaging close to 3.2 total goals per match, largely due to an open style and defensive inconsistency. Wolves are more competitive going forward than their table position suggests, particularly in transition, but also concede regularly when under sustained pressure. United’s attacking depth and Wolves’ willingness to break quickly should create an open game state, making the over 2.5 goals line a logical angle.

Reason for Tip

Celtic remain the dominant force in Scottish football, boasting the league’s best attack and defence, and winning the vast majority of away fixtures against bottom-half sides. Motherwell are competitive at home but struggle to cope with sustained pressure and pace in wide areas — precisely where Celtic excel. With superior squad depth, relentless pressing and a consistent scoring output, Celtic are rightly favoured to control the game and take all three points.

Reason for Tip

Rangers at Ibrox remain extremely reliable, winning well over 70% of home league matches and regularly posting multi-goal performances. St. Mirren are organised but struggle to sustain pressure away from home, particularly against sides that dominate territory and set-piece situations. Rangers’ ability to pin teams back, combined with their attacking depth and physical presence, makes them a strong home selection.

Reason for Tip

Liverpool at Anfield continue to impose themselves with tempo and intensity, averaging over 2 goals per home game and ranking among the league leaders for shot creation. Leeds bring energy and pressing but remain defensively vulnerable, particularly against teams that move the ball quickly through midfield. Liverpool’s superior quality in wide areas and their ability to sustain pressure should see them wear Leeds down over 90 minutes.

Reason for Tip

Manchester City’s dominance in these types of fixtures remains clear. They control possession, territory and game tempo better than any side in the league, while Sunderland are likely to spend long periods defending deep. City’s ability to stretch defensive blocks, recycle pressure and create high-quality chances makes them extremely reliable favourites, even away from home. With Sunderland’s margin for error minimal against elite opposition, City are well positioned to take the points.
