Tuesday’s Premier League slate closes out the calendar year with pressure across both ends of the table. Burnley and Wolves are chasing points from tough fixtures, while Arsenal vs Villa has a genuine top-end feel after 18 games. There are also two games that look set up for fine margins, with Forest vs Everton and West Ham vs Brighton both shaped by recent trends and matchups.

What are the best bets for Burnley vs Newcastle?

Newcastle win & under 4.5 total goals

Burnley are winless in nine league games and still six points from safety, even after back-to-back draws. Newcastle’s away form has been poor, but this combo has landed in five of their six league wins, including the recent 2-1 against Burnley.

Anthony Gordon to score or assist

Gordon has three goals and one assist in his last seven appearances, and he also scored against Burnley earlier this month.

What are the best bets for Chelsea vs Bournemouth?

Chelsea to win

Chelsea have won just one of their last five league games, but their year-ending home record is strong, and they have a solid recent home record against Bournemouth. Bournemouth also arrive in a nine-game winless run.

Over 2.5 goals

Bournemouth have the league’s worst defensive away record, conceding 27 in nine trips. They also shipped four at Brentford on Saturday, which keeps the focus on goals at Stamford Bridge.

What are the best bets for Nottingham Forest vs Everton?

Match result: Draw

Forest sit 17th on 18 points from 18 games, while Everton are mid-table with 25 points. Both sides have lacked consistency, and this fixture has produced tight margins, including multiple low-scoring meetings in recent years.

Under 2.5 goals

Forest have scored 18 league goals, and Everton’s total matches have gone under 2.5 in 67% of games. Everton have also failed to score in their last three matches.

What are the best bets for West Ham vs Brighton?

Both teams to score

These sides drew 1-1 earlier this month, and both have mixed recent form that points to chances at both ends. West Ham have conceded regularly across a run that includes three straight defeats, while Brighton have also been involved in open games.

Over 2.5 goals

Brighton’s last five includes a 4-3 defeat to Villa, while West Ham have also been in a 3-2 loss to Villa. With Bowen and Paquetá central for the hosts and Brighton carrying threat through Rutter, goals are firmly in play.

What are the best bets for Arsenal vs Aston Villa?

Arsenal to win

It’s a massive game with only three points separating the sides after 18 matches, but Arsenal are unbeaten at home this season. Only Man City in mid-September and Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup have avoided defeat there after 90 minutes.

John McGinn to commit 2+ fouls

Villa have a right-back headache with Matty Cash suspended and Boubacar Kamara also out. McGinn has committed at least one foul in seven of his last eight league outings, including four against Leeds.

What are the best bets for Man United vs Wolves?

Man United to win

United are sixth with 29 points and have won five of nine at Old Trafford. Wolves are bottom with two points from 18, have lost six straight away games, and were beaten 4-1 by United in the reverse fixture earlier this month.

Over 2.5 goals

That 4-1 reverse fixture cleared this line comfortably, and Wolves have conceded 39 goals in 18 league matches. United’s attack has been productive, even if their defensive record keeps games open.
