PL Games - 13th, 14th & 15th December

[Mike Oxsaw]

Saturday, 13 December 2025 15:00
Chelsea v Everton
Venue: Stamford Bridge
League Positions: 4 v 12
Current Forms: 17 v 36
League positions & current forms in opposition. I think home advantage will tell.
Prediction: Home Win
 
Saturday, 13 December 2025 15:00
Liverpool v Brighton & Hove Albion
Venue: Anfield
League Positions: 9 v 6
Current Forms: 18 v 21
As in the above game, league positions & current forms in opposition. Liverpool, however will..., OK, should, be buoyed by their victory in Europe this week.
Prediction: Home Win
 
Saturday, 13 December 2025 17:30
Burnley v Fulham
Venue: Turf Moor
League Positions: 19 v 15
Current Forms: 0 v 15
Battle of the anti-giants, this one. All stats point to an easy Fulham win, but since when have stats ever kicked a pig's bladder around the park? Home advantage should tell, but,
Prediction: Draw
 
Saturday, 13 December 2025 20:00
Arsenal v Wolverhampton Wanderers
Venue: Emirates Stadium
League Positions: 1 v 20
Current Forms: 22 v 0
If ever a team in dire need of some points chose a game to avoid this weekend, then this would be that game. Arsenal will be buzzing and if they are wearing their scoring boots could go on a rampage.
Prediction: Home Win
 
Sunday, 14 December 2025 14:00
Crystal Palace v Manchester City
Venue: Selhurst Park
League Positions: 7 v 2
Current Forms: 34 v 39
City, off the back of an excellent result in Europe, will be looking to carry that away form into this game. Palace will certainly stretch their defence with their style of play, but, I believe, City will prevail.
Prediction: Away Win
 
Sunday, 14 December 2025 14:00
Nottingham Forest v Tottenham Hotspur
Venue: City Ground
League Positions: 17 v 10
Current Forms: 21 v 20
With almost identical current forms and both teams having won in Europe this week, this is quite a difficult one to call. A little voice inside my head says, amongst many other things, Spurs will bag the points, but I'm not getting of this fence for nobody.
Prediction: Draw
 
Sunday, 14 December 2025 14:00
Sunderland v Newcastle United
Venue: Stadium of Light
League Positions: 8 v 11
Current Forms: 14 v 34
Well! I recall the days when such a game used to be an absolute banger, every time (and guaranteed to be the first shown on Match of the Day). Only 3 places separate these two in the table, but the Bar Code's current form on the back of their European performance this week should be enough.
Prediction: Away Win
 
Sunday, 14 December 2025 14:00
West Ham United v Aston Villa
Venue: The London Stadium
League Positions: 18 v 3
Current Forms: 14 v 45
Ahh! You know we want to, and not just to honour the memory of the great Sir Bill. Villa, though, are absolutely roaring; away win in Europe and maximum score on current form (over the last 5 games). Sadly, with all the love and emotion that the crowd can deliver, this will not be our day. Football is a hard mistress.
Prediction: Away Win
 
Sunday, 14 December 2025 16:30
Brentford v Leeds United
Venue: Brentford Community Stadium
League Positions: 14 v 16
Current Forms: 12 v 17
Not sure I can be that bothered now, after what I wrote about our game, but, stats are similar, league positions similar. High probability of a draw but I'm playing the home advantage card.
Prediction: Home Win
 
Monday, 15 December 2025 20:00
Manchester United v A. F. C. Bournemouth
Venue: Old Trafford
League Positions: 5 v 13
Current Forms: 29 v 7
The Red Devils, to my immense chagrin, seem to have found their mojo, while Bournemouth still seem to be searching for theirs. The media will rejoice, even if no one who actually matters (me) does.
Prediction: Home Win

Wolves scored three goals at the Emirates and still lost. Virtually relegated by Christmas 

[Mad Ferret]

Arsenal were absolute shit.

Can’t see them winning the league.

[ragingbull]

2 own goals lucky cunts.

[Massive Attack]

Scamacca with a brace. 

[ragingbull]

Lucky Arsenal

[fraser]

Commentator was desperate for a red there 

[goose]

You’re a fragile little man ‘feet son.

Every fucking game TNT show has the annoying Lucy Ward on. There should be a mute button for her. Joey Barton was spot on about her. 

What is it you dislike about her, she seems to live rent free in your head... You whine like a hysterical queen everytime she's on the TV.. You don't have to watch. 

An analyst should be used sparingly, she literally talks for longer than the commentator. I played darts once at my local 
pub, should I be commentating on the PDC?  I don’t have to watch that is true. Like I say Joey Barton is right about her but you carry on living in your woke bubble you pussy whipped little dick splash. 

 

 

So I'm a, pussy whipped dick splash because she doesn't bother me.. Ha ha love it... I'm amused I'll give you that... Does that go for anyone who isn't annoyed by her... Think it  says more about you that you have to whine incessantly about her everytime she appears, everyone knows you can't stand her but keep on telling us everytime she's on.. 

[goose]

Arsenal are choking early this season.

[Sweep]

A draw would probably be the best result for us in this game.

Fulham don't look any great shakes in spite of the lead.
 

[fraser]

Absolute comedy defending for both of Fulham's goals 

[Fauxstralian]

Fulham ahead at Burnley inside 10mins
Not sure if this is good news though I don’t think Fulham will be in danger anyway.
And if we can’t finish above Burnley we are obviously down

Beautifully presented!

I think I’ll do a four-fold Acca  for the Sunday 1400 k.o.

Cheers Ox

Oh, yeah. The acca.

Arsenal (@ Home to Wolverhampton Wanderers 1/9)
Aston Villa (Away @ West Ham United EVS (Blimey!!!))                            
Manchester United (@ Home to A. F. C. Bournemouth 17/20)
Tottenham Hotspur (Away @ Nottingham Forest 7/4)

Total stake: £11.00
Potential returns: £58.98

Placed the bet before the mid-week games and can't be arsed to change it, hence the Spurs prediction "discrepancy".
