Monday matches
Aston Villa vs. Brighton
This Monday, tenth-placed Brighton heads north to take on Aston Villa, who sit 9th in the Premier League. Brighton is desperate to end a frustrating six-game winless streak but faces a daunting challenge at Villa Park, where the hosts have lost just once in their last 14 matches. With Villa in strong home form and Brighton struggling for answers, the Seagulls will need something special to turn their fortunes around.
Ipswich vs. Chelsea
Chelsea travel to Portman Road for their first Premier League meeting with Ipswich Town since 2002, hoping to bounce back from a shock Boxing Day loss to Fulham. Both sides are limping toward the year's finish, with Ipswich increasingly exposed at this level and Chelsea needing points to keep pressure on Liverpool at the top. A win here would restore confidence for the Blues, while another home defeat could deepen doubts about Ipswich's top-flight credentials.
Man United vs. Newcastle
Old Trafford will be the stage as Manchester United look to end a tough year with a win against Newcastle United on Monday night. The Red Devils, languishing in 14th after a 2-0 loss to Wolves, face a Newcastle side riding high in fifth after dismantling Aston Villa 3-0 last week.
