SATURDAY 13TH DECEMBER KICK-OFFS:
Chelsea vs Everton
Chelsea have failed to win in any of their previous 3 games, slipping back down to 5th place in the process. Everton, on the other hand, has won 4 out of their last games, making a charge for European places which sees them in 7th, only 1 point behind their matchday opponent.
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Everton
Best Bet: Enzo to get booked + Pickford to make 3 saves
Liverpool vs Brighton
Liverpool have started to somewhat stabilise their results domestically following a dismal run of form, which has seen them slip down to 10th in the league. They host a decent Brighton side who have punched above their weight this season.
Prediction: Liverpool 1-1 Brighton
Best Bet: Wirtz to get a SOT + Welbeck to get a SOT
Burnley vs Fulham
Burnley have lost their last 5 games, a terrible statistic they would like to get rid off. They host the West London side at Turf Moor on Saturday and will hope to get some much-needed points if they aim to avoid the drop.
Prediction: Burnley 1-2 Fulham
Best Bet: Over 2 goals + Over 8 corners + Over 2 cards
Arsenal vs Wolves
A battle of league leaders and last place has Wolves travel to the Emirates for a late Saturday kickoff. Arsenal should expect a smooth sailing 3 points and a dominant performance over Wolves, who, at this rate, will statistically be the worst team to ever compete in the Premier League.
Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Wolves
Best Bet: Madueke to score + Arsenal clean sheet + Eze to assist
SUNDAY 14TH DECEMBER KICK-OFFS:
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City
Palace have surprised many this season, making yet another European charge, which sees them in 5th place, an impressive feat for the club. They will host titans Manchester City at Selhurst Park in a tightly contested fixture at the top of the table.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-2 Manchester City
Best Bet: Haaland to score/assist + Mateta SOT
Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur
Both sides have been equally unimpressive this season as both clubs sit in the bottom half of the table. Spurs are in desperate need of another win following last week's win against Brentford. They should expect to pick up at least a point over a poor Forest side.
Prediction: Forest 0-2 Spurs
Best Bet: Spurs to keep a clean sheet + Richarlison to score/assist
Sunderland vs Newcastle United
The battle of the Northeast is certain to be a must-watch fixture. The clash at the Stadium of Light sees Sunderland host their fierce rivals. In a surprising turn of fortunes, Sunderland are viewed as favourites going into the tie as they currently sit a point above their rivals.
Prediction: Sunderland 2-2 Newcastle
Best Bet: Woltemade to score/assist + Over 4 cards + Red card in tie
West Ham United vs Aston Villa
Relegation straddlers West Ham will host a dominant Aston Villa side. Unai Emery will be looking to continue his astonishing form and secure 3 points to keep up the pressure on Arsenal and Manchester City for the title. West Ham have struggled all season and need the home advantage gain any points to avoid the drop.
Prediction: West Ham 0-2 Aston Villa
Best Bet: Villa to keep a clean sheet + Watkins to score/assist
Brentford vs Leeds United
The West London side host Leeds on Sunday in a clash at the lower end of the table. Leeds turned in an impressive performance against Liverpool, which saw them secure a point during the thrilling 3-3 clash. Expect a tightly contested fixture with not much to separate the two sides.
Prediction: Brentford 2-2 Leeds United
Best Bet: Over 3 goals + Over 3 cards
MONDAY 15TH DECEMBER KICK-OFFS:
Manchester United vs Bournemouth
The Red Devils have turned their sluggish early-season form around and have kicked into gear, charging up the league table, settling in 6th place. They will host an out-of-form Bournemouth, who, in contrast to Manchester United, seen their stunning early-season form turn sour.
Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Bournemouth
Best Bet: Manchester United to keep a clean sheet + Bruno to get an assist
Final Thoughts
Matchday 16 is bound to entertain Premier League fans with some critical fixtures across the weekend. It offers close matchups at both ends of the table and a heated derby to kick up the temperature. The must-watch game has to be the Tyne-Wear derby between Sunderland and Newcastle on Saturday. Keep an eye out for Chelsea vs Everton for a battle between Maresca and Moyes.
