The English Premier League's relentless schedule shows no signs of slowing down, with the action coming thick and fast through the Christmas and New Year period. This Sunday 29 December is no exception, as matchday 19 of the season kicks-off with six thrilling fixtures that mark the halfway point of the season.
We take a closer look at a selection of these matches and picking out our top tips and best booking code (odds at time of writing):
Leicester City vs Manchester City
Manchester City may be enduring one of the worst spells that any reigning champion has had, with just one win and nine losses in their last 13 matches across all competitions, but they are still certainly the favourites to secure all three points here.
Leicester City are 18th in the table with three wins, five draws and 10 defeats from 18 fixtures, including entering this game with only one win in their last 11 across all competitions, suffering eight losses in that time.
While Man City are in worse form than their opponents, we believe their overwhelming quality will finally shine through here to help them secure a win.
Manchester City to win, 1.38
Tottenham vs Wolves
Matheus Cunha has been in top form this season, scoring 10 and assisting four in 19 appearances across all competitions, including goals in all of his last three matches.
With the forward in such brilliant form set to come up against a Spurs defence that has not only conceded 26 goals in 18 league fixtures, but also may be without any recognised central defenders due to injuries, we believe the Brazilian will score again here.
Matheus Cunha to score anytime, 2.85
Fulham vs Bournemouth
Fulham and Bournemouth are both enjoying superb campaigns, with the hosts sitting eighth in the league with 28 points from 18 fixtures and the visitors in sixth with 29 points from their 18 games.
Both aiming to continue their fine form and looking to push into the top four, this game is likely to be a tight contest between two determined and talented sides. With this, a draw could be your best bet for this one.
Fulham & Bournemouth to draw, 3.60
West Ham vs Liverpool
West Ham have suffered inconsistent spells and underwhelming results at times this season, leaving the Hammers 13th in the league with 23 points from 18 games, after six wins, five draws and seven defeats.
On the other hand, Liverpool is top of the table with a remarkable 42 points from just 17 outings, after 13 wins, three draws and one defeat, leaving them seven points clear at the top of the standings.
Because of their immense form that has seen them lose just once all season, Liverpool should get another three points on Sunday.
