The Premier League action is coming at us thick and fast at the moment with the latest set of games from Boxing Day (26th) to Thursday 28th Dec.
We get going for week 20 with Spurs hosting Southampton at Wembley, which will be a real Boxing Day treat for both sets of fans.
Six 3pm matches to take in that include the champions – Chelsea – at home to Brighton, while Manchester United welcome Burnley to Old Trafford.
We round-off the Boxing Day fixtures with Liverpool at home to struggling Swansea, who will surely need to have a better 2018 if they want to remain in the English top-flight.
One more game on Wednesday 27th Dec as the current runaway leaders – Man City – make the trip to Newcastle, while the final game from week 20 is on Thursday (28th) with an all-London affair as Crystal Palace travel to Arsenal.
As always here at JUICESTORM we’ve got all the games covered from a head-to-head angle, plus our best betting option on each match based on the stats – So, let’s get going!
