Happy New Year! The Premier League fixture schedule continues into 2022, with four games taking place on 1 January. There are a further five matches on Sunday, while Manchester United clash with Wolves on Monday. We have predictions for each of the clashes, starting with Arsenal’s game against Manchester City on Saturday lunchtime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S55rjFDxKW0 SATURDAY 1ST JANUARY Arsenal 12:30 Manchester City Perhaps Arsenal will be able to outperform their odds on New Year’s Day. After an enforced break, Mikel Arteta’s side will be all guns blazing and their recent form has been outstanding. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Alexandre Lacazette are all in excellent form for the Gunners. Manchester City have passed every test with flying colours but perhaps this is where they’ll experience a bump in the road. BEST BET: Arsenal +1 Leicester City 15:00 Norwich City Brendan Rodgers’ side are really starting to click from an attacking point-of-view and that is why we think they’ll enjoy a sizeable win over the Canaries. James Maddison has been the attacking focal point of all that is good about Leicester City, while Norwich are badly short of quality and they look doomed after heavy recent defeats against Arsenal and Crystal Palace. BEST BET: Leicester -1.5 Watford 15:00 Tottenham Hotspur Watford rarely draw a blank in front of goal although the Hornets were run ragged by West Ham United at Vicarage Road. Claudio Ranieri’s side might be among the relegated three this season and they might not be a match for a Tottenham side who should have won at St Mary’s. Harry Kane is back in the groove and we think that Spurs will outscore the home side. BEST BET: Tottenham + BTTS Yes Crystal Palace 17:30 West Ham United A difficult game to call at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace managed to beat Norwich comfortably although they were previously beaten soundly at Tottenham. Meanwhile, West Ham lost 3-2 at home to Southampton before coming from behind to win 4-1 at Watford. We think the best ploy could be to back BTTS Yes in this clash considering that both teams are capable of scoring. BEST BET: BTTS Yes SUNDAY 2ND JANUARY Brentford 14:00 Aston Villa We’re not sure many goals will be scored at the Brentford Community Stadium. The Bees are determined to scrap for every point in their quest for survival. Meanwhile, Steven Gerrard has his team organised defensively and it’s only the three leading teams who have had joy against them. This could end up being a low-scoring draw. BEST BET: Under 2.5 Goals Everton 14:00 Brighton & Hove Albion Brighton finally ended their winless run to claim a victory over Brentford. Although the Seagulls are the draw specialists in the Premier League. Everton Football Club are welcoming back key players to the team although they might find the visitors hard to break down and it’s clear that the value lies with the match ending all square. BEST BET: Draw Leeds United 14:00 Burnley Quite a significant clash taking place at Elland Road, with Leeds going up against Burnley in what could be a relegation six-pointer. Burnley have been missing a lot of games and should at least be fresh for this clash, while Leeds are down to the bare bones but they can count on a passionate home crowd. We’re expecting things to be tight based on previous matches involving the Clarets. Learn about how acca odds work with the WhatAcca.com educational resources. BEST BET: Under 2.5 Goals Southampton 14:00 Newcastle United Newcastle were unlucky not to beat Manchester United recently although they have paid the price after Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin sustained injuries. It means that Eddie Howe will play the rejuvenated Joelinton further forward, with Southampton having claimed four points in festive matches against West Ham and Tottenham. We’ll take the BTTS Yes call here. BEST BET: BTTS Yes Chelsea 16:30 Liverpool We’re expecting fireworks when Chelsea clash with Liverpool although it’s hard to call a winner. The Blues have Mateo Kovacic, N’GoloKante and Romelu Lukaku back, although their opponents are also stronger with Fabinho and Virgil van Dijk in the team. It could be a barnstorming game and Over 2.5 Goals could be the best way to play this one. BEST BET: Over 2.5 Goals MONDAY 3RD JANUARY Manchester United 17:30 Wolverhampton Wanderers Manchester United were wholly unconvincing at St James’ Park and escaped with a fortunate point. The Red Devils might be improved against Wolves but you still wouldn’t touch them at the prices. They are capable of running a tight ship and the same applies to a Wanderers side who are super-organised under Bruno Lage. BEST BET: Under 2.5 Goals This is the final round of Premier League matches before the FA Cup third round weekend. It also happens to be the final game for African players who are heading to AFCON for the big winter tournament.
