Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for this weekend, along with Chris Sutton at the BBC:

• Note: 9 fixtures instead of the full 10 this weekend, as Man City are in Saudi Arabia for the FIFA Club World Cup

STAT ATTACK: Cards on Christmas Eve…

Wolves v Chelsea

Sunday, 1pm – Sky Sports

The stats say festive goodwill may be in short supply at Molineux on Sunday afternoon. That rarest of fixtures these days – an English top-flight game played on Christmas Eve…

• Chelsea are the only team in the Premier League with a 100% record for Over 3.5 Cards bets this season (17 games out of 17). The Blues are also ranked no.1 on our website for the higher OVER 4.5 CARDS line (82% strike-rate)

• Wolves have been involved in a few feisty encounters themselves. With 7 of their 8 home league games going Over 3.5 Cards (88%). And 6 also paying out on OVER 4.5 CARDS (75%)

• Last season this fixture at Wolves produced 7 Yellow Cards (70 Booking Points)

• The Referee for Sunday’s game is Stuart Attwell. He’s taken charge of 9 Premier League matches this season, with 7 of them paying out on Over 3.5 Cards (78%), and 6 also going OVER 4.5 CARDS (67%)

OVER 4.5 CARDS is available at 11/20 (1.55) with Unibet, BetUK & BetMGM, and 8/15 (1.53) with Betway. 50+ Booking Points is 1/2 (1.5) with Skybet.

The Weekend Acca…

Every week we build an accumulator from the matching selections in our Predictor grid, across the Match Result and Goals markets. Rolling up for some big odds…

These picks all match-up across the predictions from myself, my Across the Leagues colleague Shaun, and Chris Sutton on the BBC:

Crystal Palace v Brighton – Both Teams to Score
Aston Villa v Sheff Utd – Aston Villa to win
Fulham v Burnley – Fulham to win
Luton v Newcastle – Both Teams to Score
Nottingham Forest v Bournemouth – Under 2.5 Goals
Tottenham v Everton – Over 2.5 Goals
Liverpool v Arsenal – Over 2.5 Goals
Wolves v Chelsea – Both Teams to Score

• The 8-fold acca pays 55/1 with BetUK

We’ll be back with a Predictor update before the Boxing Day games kick-off on Tuesday lunchtime. And then your next full weekend Across the Leagues EXTRA email will be on Friday 29th December, for the ‘New Year’s Day’ round of fixtures.
