da fezbet： After the Boxing Day Premier League fixtures and Arsenal’s victory over Chelsea at The Emirates last night, there is even more top flight football for us to enjoy today. This is the point in the season when titles can be won and lost, both in the Premier League and in fantasy football leagues nationwide. Manchester United will be favourites to stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League table as they head to St Andrew’s to face Birmingham City, while neighbours City will be looking to stay in touch at home to Aston Villa. Elsewhere the mightily impressive Tottenham host Newcastle at White Hart Lane, before Arsenal and Chelsea are back in action away to Wigan and home to Bolton respectively. Who will win? Check out the predictions below…
