King Abdullah Sports City will be the centre of attention when Real Madrid and Barcelona lock horns in the Spanish Super Cup final. Los Blancos proved their worth in a 3-0 win over Mallorca and it has to be noted that they had 28 goal attempts in the semi-final clash. With trio Rodrygo – Vinicius – Mbappe being fully fit for the decider, home win should definitely be considered. Aurelien Tchouameni should recover in time to face Barca in the title game. 

The Catalans, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Real Madrid by beating Athletic Club 2-0. Lamine Yamal proved a handful for Bilbao defenders, meaning that los Blancos should have him at bay as well. Anyhow, home win should be considered as it seems as if Carlo Ancelotti’s men have been improving their game week by week. Goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen remains in the recovery room, while forward Dani Olmo should be recalled to Barcelona’s starting XI.

Score Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Barcelona

Sparkles will be flying when Arsenal and Manchester United face each other in a highly-anticipated FA Cup game. The Gunners have slim chances of winning the Premier League trophy, meaning that they are eager to go all the way in the FA Cup. Both Jorginho and Gabriel Jesus are in line for a recall as Mikel Arteta is expected to make changes to the team that suffered a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United in the EFL Cup semis. All Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ben White, Bukayo Saka, and Ethan Nwaneri remain on the sidelines with injuries. 

The Red Devils did well to hold Liverpool to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League derby, but they are still seen as underdogs in the FA Cup clash with Arsenal. Given Man Utd’s four-game losing run at Emirates Stadium, we predict that the hosts are going to advance to the FA Cup round 4. Joshua Zirkzee is pushing for a start, while all Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, and Marcus Rashford remain in the treatment room.

Score Prediction: Arsenal 1-2 Manchester United

Chelsea play host to Morecambe at their Stamford Bridge in what should be a lopsided affair. The Blues aim to put an end to their four-game winless run and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Even though Enzo Maresca is expected to mix the squad, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. All Noni Madueke, Marc Guiu, Joao Felix, Christopher Nkunku, and Reece James should be recalled to the starting XI. 

The Shrimps, on the other hand, will have a mountain to climb in London as Chelsea are a real force to be reckoned with at home. David faces Goliath at Stamford Bridge and we do not believe that the League Two outfit are capable of making a miracle in the English capital. A man to watch in the away team will be Benjamin Tollitt, who has netted six goals in the League Two so far this term.

Score Prediction: Chelsea 5-0 Morecamble

Anfield will host a David-vs-Goliath clash between Liverpool and Accrington Stanley. The Reds are seen as hot favourites to advance to the FA Cup round 4, but boss Arne Slot must warn his men against complacency. Striker Darwin Nunez misses out through suspension, while defender Joe Gomez has yet to overcome a hamstring problem. Diogo Jota is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts. 

The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Grimsby Town and Colchester United, but they will have a mountain to climb at Anfield. As previously mentioned, David faces Goliath in Liverpool and anything but a routine home win would be a big shock. There are no fresh injury worries in the League Two side ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup clash. It has to be noted that the two clubs meet for the first time in the prestigious competition.

Score Prediction: Liverpool 4 – 0 Accrington

Anfield will be the centre of attention when Liverpool and Manchester United lock horns in the Premier League derby on Sunday evening. The Reds look unstoppable at the moment and their excellent display in a 5-0 crushing of West Ham is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Ruben Amorim’s troops. Joe Gomez limped off with injury in the last league match, with Jarell Quansah likely to step up. Hungary ace Dominik Szoboszlai is back from suspension. 

The Red Devils, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches. As Man Utd produced an under-par performance in a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Mohamed Salah and Co. this time out. Kobbie Mainoo is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Joshua Zirkzee should drop to the bench. Both Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte are back from suspension.

Arsenal welcome Ipswich Town at their Emirates Stadium in the closing match of the Premier League round 18. The Gunners aim to build on a thrilling 5-1 win over Crystal Palace and they are seen as hot favourites to win this festive fixture. Bukayo Saka should be fit for Thursday’s clash despite limping off with injury against Palace, while both Benjamin White and Tomiyasu Takehiro remain in the recovery room. 

The Lions, on the other hand, struggled defensively in a 4-0 loss to Ipswich Town and given Arsenal’s signs of improvement, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting at Emirates Stadium, back in 2011, Arsenal defeated Ipswich 3-0 in the EFL Cup and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Liam Delap is back from suspension, while Sam Morsey serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, speaking of the visiting team.

David faces Goliath at Anfield as Liverpool welcome Leicester City in the closing match of the Boxing Day program. The Reds are determined to regain the Premier League trophy and they must be high on confidence following a thrilling 6-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur. Arne Slot is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed Spurs as the former Feyenoord boss has no fresh injury worries. Both Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. 

The Foxes, on the other hand, suffered a heart-breaking loss to fellow relegation strugglers Wolverhampton at the weekend. As Leicester City have been struggling at the back of late, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. All Wilfred Ndidi, Abdul Fatawu, and Ricardo Pereira remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting team.

Score Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Leicester

Molineux Stadium will host Thursday’s Boxing Day clash between Wolverhampton and Manchester United. The Wolves aim to build on a 3-0 win over Leicester City which saw them put an end to a four-game losing run, but they will have a big fish to fry against Ruben Amorim’s troops. A man to watch in the home team will be Matheus Cunha, who produced a brilliant display against in the King Power Stadium triumph, while Algeria defender Rayan Ait-Nouri is back from suspension. 

The Red Devils, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth. As Manchester United defeated Wolverhampton 4-3 in their last meeting at Molineux Stadium, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Both Alex Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund should be recalled to Man Utd’s starting XI, while defender Matthijs de Ligt should recover in time to face Vitor Pereira’s troops.

Score Prediction: Wolves 1-2 Manchester United

There will be fireworks when Chelsea and Fulham face each other on Boxing Day in a highly-anticipated local derby. The Blues aim to return to winning ways after dropping two points in a goalless draw with Everton and they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Cottagers in the London derby. Noni Madueke is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while left-back Marc Cucurella is back from suspension. 

Marco Silva’s men, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Southampton at the weekend. As Fulham failed to impress in the clash with the relegation strugglers, we are tempted to put our money on Chelsea, who aim to stay in the title race. In their last meeting at Stamford Bridge Chelsea defeated Fulham 1-0, with Cole Palmer scoring the only goal of the match. Midfielder Andreas Pereira is back from suspension, while all Reiss Nelson, Harrison Reed, and Kenny Tete remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting side.

Score Prediction: Chelasea 2-1 Fulham

Manchester City will look to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa when they take on Everton in the Premier League round 18. Man City have slim title chances and their new goal is to secure a stop in the Champions League. Even though Pep Guardiola has no fresh injury worries, the likes of Savinho, Jeremy Doku, and Kyle Walker should be recalled to the starting XI. 

The Cottagers, on the other hand, did well to hold both Arsenal and Chelsea to a draw in the last two league matches, but preventing Man City forwards from scoring at Etihad Stadium is easier said than done. As Everton have suffered five defeats in the previous six meetings with Man City at the venue, home win should be considered. Ashley Young is banned for the visitors, while Dwight McNeil faces race against the clock to be fit for the Boxing Day clash.

Score Prediction: Manchester City 2-1 Everton
