Matchday 19 of the English Premier League commenced yesterday with the eagerly anticipated Boxing Day games. These fixtures are renowned for their high goal tallies, and this year was no exception, concluding with 19 goals across five games. As matchday 19 continues today, expectations remain for the entertainment to persist throughout this festive period.
Read on as we delve into the top tips and booking codes for today’s EPL fixtures – You can bet on them here:
Wolverhampton Wanderers to win at 3.65
Brentford vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers
Brentford has encountered difficulties in stringing together positive results in recent weeks, securing only one victory in their last six games while losing the other five. Additionally, they enter this game amidst an injury crisis, with seven players potentially sidelined due to injuries and three others suspended, including key players such as Bryan Mbeumo, Rico Henry, Ben Mee, and others.
On the other hand, Wolves have won two and drawn one of their last six matches, including a remarkable 2-1 victory over Chelsea in their latest outing. Wolves can also draw confidence from having lost only once to Brentford in the Premier League since their promotion in 2021. With Brentford missing several key players, we support Wolves to maintain this positive streak and secure the victory.
Nicolas Jackson to score at 2.80
Chelsea vs. Crystal Palace
Nicolas Jackson has become a polarizing figure among the Chelsea fanbase. While the striker has impressed some with his performances, others have expected more. His seven goals in the first 17 Premier League appearances are commendable, with only eight players in the league recording more. However, concerns arise about his wastefulness in front of goal, ranking third in big chances missed this season with 11.
Nevertheless, this highlights the striker’s ability to find scoring opportunities, and we anticipate him converting at least one against a Crystal Palace side that has conceded 71 shots in their last five games.
Manchester City to win at 1.60
Everton vs. Manchester City
Despite narrowly avoiding relegation on the final day last season, Everton has shown significant improvement this season, securing four wins and a loss in their last five Premier League games. They suffered a 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in their last game, despite outperforming their opponents.
Contrastingly, Manchester City has experienced an atypical run of results, with just one win in their last six Premier League games. This has caused them to slide down to fifth in the table, although they have one or two games in hand over those above them due to their involvement in the FIFA Club World Cup, which they ultimately won.
Despite the recent form disparity, the undisputed higher quality of Manchester City leads us to predict their victory in this game, propelling them back into the top four above Spurs.
