Leicester City vs Liverpool Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Leicester City:
Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell; Ndidi, Tielemans, Maddison; Perez, Albrighton, Vardy

Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Keïta, Wijnaldum; Salah, Mane, Firmino

Leicester City will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they host league-leaders Liverpool on Boxing Day. The Foxes sit on the second place with 39 points, 10 less their actual opponents. Brendon Rodgers' men remain the most pleasant surprise of the season. The former Liverpool and Celtic manager is doing a great job and the fans are fully satisfied. Most of them start hoping for 'Top-4' finish, while some of them are dreaming about new title. As You know, Leicester City were surprise champions under Claudio Ranieri three years ago. Nothing is impossible, however, the actual form isn't at desired level. Leicester have one draw and one defeat on the last two Premier League matches. They played just an 1:1 draw with bottom-placed Norwich at King Power, which was a disappointing result. On Saturday they lost 3:1 to Manchester City at the Etihad. Jamie Vardy continued his scoring form, he netted a beautiful goal on the last match against the Citizens. Vardy is the leading scorer in the Premier League with 17 goals. In addition, he has three more assists, meaning he is responsible for almost half of the club goals. I believe the atmosphere in the squad is positive despite the last two failures. Rodgers has the majority of his players ready for this match, only Matty James is long-term injury victim. Harvey Barnes, who was forced off against Manchester City following a hefty clash with Ederson, is rated as doubtful.

Liverpool are leaders in the Premier League, collecting 49 from the possible 51 points. The Reds have won all but one league match in the past four months. The only side that avoided the defeat were Manchester United. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is "High as Everest". The Reds will be buoyed by their success at the Club World Cup. Jurgen Klopp's men lifted the trophy in Qatar after winning 1:0 against Flamengo in the final. Firmino was the hero on that match scoring the lone goal in the extra time. But not everything was smooth on that match. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain left the pitch after turning his ankle and the club medical stuff have confirmed he suffered ankle ligament damage. As a result, he will play no further part this year, probably he will also skip the first matches in 2020. Klopp refused to suggest any kind of timescale for his return. Ox will probably miss the games against Tottenham, Manchester United, Wolves and two possible FA Cup fixtures, thus perhaps returning after the mini 'winter break' in February. There are three more injury issues. Fabinho, who suffered ankle ligament damage against Napoli in the Champions League, is still out, as well as centre-back duo Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren. Nathaniel Clyne is a long-term absentee. That means Klopp’s defensive options continue to be limited in the most busiest period of the season. On the positive note, Gini Wijnaldum should be back to full fitness after not featuring in Qatar.

Leicester City vs Liverpool Prediction:

This is the hardest test of Liverpool's credentials. The second-placed Leicester are very strong at the King Power. The Foxes have only twice dropped points at home in the league this season, to Norwich and Wolverhampton. I believe they are able to upset the leaders. Or at least to score. Liverpool are having problem to keep clean sheet this season. I expect an interesting match with goals on both sides.

Leicester City vs Liverpool Pick: Both teams to score - Yes @ 1.57 with Bet365

Man United vs Newcastle Prediction

• Manchester United put in another typical Jekyll and Hyde performance last week as they fell to a shocking 2-0 defeat at Vicarage Road against Watford and will now face an in-form Newcastle side that have won 5 of their last 8 league games (D1 L2).
• The Red Devils may be unbeaten in their last 7 league games, but only 3 of those have ended in victories, and 2 of those were by 1-goal margins. We think that Newcastle can keep the scoreline respectable, and we are tipping United for just a 2-1 win.

Asian Handicap​

Newcastle +1.5​

Odds: 1.86​

Leicester City vs Liverpool Prediction

• Liverpool were extremely lucky to get a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture back in October and despite the 10-point gap between these 2 teams, this won’t be an easy game for the Reds.
• Moreover, there will be tired legs in the Liverpool camp after a successful Club World Cup campaign in Doha. All things considered, we think that the hosts can nick a point here and we are tipping this game to end 1-1.

Asian Handicap​	Both Teams To Score​
Leicester City +0.5​	Yes​
Odds: 1.86​	Odds: 1.66​

Chelsea vs Southampton

Time: 23:00 GMT+8 on December 26, 2019
Venue: Stamford Bridge


Key Insights:

Chelsea are currently undefeated from their last 14 Premier League battle day matches with 9 wins and 5 draws, this is considered as the longest such surge without loss within the tournament’s history.

Chelsea has won seven coming from their last eight Premier League matches against Southampton with 1 draw, since a 1 – 3 ground defeat back then in October 2015.

Chelsea and Southampton have encountered four times on battle day within the Premier League. Most popularly 20 years ago when the Blues became the 1st Premier League squad to name a starting XI without British players in a 2 – 1 victory at the Dell.

This is Southampton’s 17th Premier League boxing day match with 4 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses, and it will be their 16th such match against a London squad, with the exclusion being 3 – 0 victory at Cardiff back then in 2013.

Southampton and Chelsea draw 0 – 0 within this exact game last season and the Saints have never secure consecutive on the road clean sheet against the Blues within the top flight.

However, for the final statement and prediction, We are still backing up the Blues squad for a full time of 3 – 1 scorecard, both teams to score, and with the trusted website in Malaysia football betting tips handicap of Chelsea -1.5

Head to Head of Chelsea vs Southampton:

Date	Team​	Score​	Team​
06/10/19	Southampton​	1 – 4​	Chelsea​
02/01/19	Chelsea​	0 – 0​	Southampton​

Wolves vs Man City Prediction

• Wolves haven’t been easy to get the better of this season. They have lost just thrice all season and only 1 of those have been by more than a 1-goal margin. That said, City have been in fantastic in their last few matches. With the likes of Kevin De Bruyne in scintillating form, we think that it would be foolish to bet against the champions. All things considered, we are tipping City for a 3-1 win.

Asian Handicap​	Over/Under​	Both Teams To Score​
Man City -1.25​	Over 3 Goals​	Yes​
Odds: 1.89​	Odds: 1.94​	Odds: 1.85​

Wolves vs Manchester City

Time: 03:45 GMT+8 on December 27, 2019
Venue: Molineux Stadium

Key Insights:

• Wolves has lost the entire three of their Premier League matches played on a Friday, while the City have only lost one of their eight fixtures with 4 wins and 4 draws.
• Wolves didn’t lose straight home league matches since January, when they lost against both Crystal Palace and Liverpool at their venue.
• Wolves against Man City will consider as the 100th Premier League match to occur on Friday. The ground squad has 48 wins of the previous 99 such matches with 28 draws and 23 losses.
• Manchester City has just failed to score in one of their last 10 league matches against the Wolves, registering 21 goals in total. Although the blank did come in the reverse game in October with 0 – 2.
• Manchester City generated one of their remarkable performances for some time against Leicester on Saturday and that will give them a huge self confidence in the battle.
• Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola will take some rotations for this upcoming matchup and that maybe without IIkay Gundogan, midfielder, who is having a hard time with a knock sustained in that game.

However, for the final statement and prediction, We are still backing up the City squad for a full time of 1 – 3 scorecard, both teams to score, and with the trusted website in Singapore football betting tips handicap of Manchester City -1.5

Head to Head of Wolves vs Manchester City:

Date	Team​	Score​	Team​

Both teams have a strong motivation. Leicester I don't think she will continue her frantic course, her first one will continue. West Ham, despite the defeat at Palace, was good. I'll bet on the seat
WEST HAM UNITED vs LEICESTER CITY @@ +0.50 AH WEST HAM UNITED, odds 1.90

Norwich will fight all matches, since he can't do otherwise. At home he finds the way to the net easily and we expect him to score at least once today. Tottenham are the grand favorites for the win, but at home they still need work. Both teams can score
NORWICH CITY vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR @@ Both team to score, odds 1.60

Watford have managed and scored in the away game against Sheffield, but remain within the zone and victory over Aston Villa is a one-way street. Watford are 5 points less than their opponent and in the event of a defeat, the road to stay will be even more difficult. Took the final against Norwich at Aston Villa, slightly removed but still within the zone. Very difficult match for the two teams that will initially try not to lose. I find that with the power of the home team the hosts have a lead
WATFORD FC vs ASTON VILLA @@ WATFORD FC, odds 2.00
