It’s the most wonderful day of the sporting year – the Boxing Day Premier League programme which is a nice way to ease ourselves into Bank Holiday Monday’s main fayre of Arsenal vs Chelsea (totesport match prices).
Fulham v West Ham
West entertains east at Craven Cottage at lunchtime with both sides badly struggling for wins this season – four between them none of which have come away from home.
Bet: Fulham win – evens
Blackburn v Stoke
Steve Kean is on board at Rovers until at least the end of the season but captain Chris Samba wants out and the Scot will have to wait a bit longer for his first home win.
Bet: Draw – 11/5
Blackpool v Liverpool
There’s no undersoil heating at Bloomfield Road so keep an eye on the weather forecast as Liverpool look for revenge for their humbling at Anfield.
Bet: Total Goals – 4 Or More – 21/10
Bolton v West Brom
The Baggies’ away record is better than Liverpool’s after 17 games but it will still not be enough to trouble the Trotters who have lost just once at the Reebok this term.
Bet: Draw/Bolton – 7/2
Everton v Birmingham
One word sums up both sides’ respective seasons – poor – but the Toffees have not lost in December while City are struggling for goals – an average of one per game.
Bet: Everton 1-0 – 11/2
Man Utd v Sunderland
United are sitting pretty at the top of the tree as they welcome former captain Steve Bruce back to Old Trafford for what should be a home win.
Bet: Darren Bent – Enhanced First Goalscorer – Darren Bent 10/1
Newcastle v Man City
Another chance for Mario Balotelli to prove he is the ?second-best player in the world? after Lionel Messi. Hmmm.
Bet: City – 5/4
Wolverhampton v Wigan
The classic relegation six-pointer at Molineux where defeat for either side would arguably represent another nail their respective relegation coffins.
Bet: Draw – 23/10
Aston Villa v Tottenham 17:30
Sunday’s late game has had more significance over recent seasons than it does this time around, but the home side?s form at Villa Park is hard to ignore.
Bet: Villa – 2/1
