Premier League Predictions: Gameweek 19

God knows what day it is, but apparently there has been a Saturday without Premier League football in the middle of the domestic calendar. The world has gone mad.

But fear not, we've got a bucketload of action to enjoy until the new year. So, while you're saying goodbye to those family members you can surely expect to see again this time next year, make sure you're getting into the next Premier League matchweek which stretches back to 2025 .

Here's how 90 min 2024/25 gameweek 19 drafts Premier League season to unfold.

This will be the most Saturday-like Sunday ever. There are six Premier League games to enjoy on December 29, with two televised in the UK and four subject to the 3pm blackout.

The action begins at King Power where Manchester City are chasing just their second win in 14 games. Their unimaginable slide has seen them drop to seventh in the Premier League table and surely without hope of continuing their dominant run at the top of the league.

We peg this match with Kevin De Bruyne's thunderb*stards and City, given Erling Haaland has been stuck for the past month, may need some quality moments from the Belgian on Sunday. Leicester have lost their previous three with Ruud van Nistelrooy in charge and are struggling to contain their opponents.

Tottenham are in a realm of despair similar to the Cityzen they face Wolves north of London. They have lost their last two and are 11th in the table. The fan base will surely start to turn on manager Ange Postecoglou if Wolves, boosted by the arrival of Vitor Pereira, win their third on the bounce.

Southampton require a miracle if they are to retain their Premier League status, but there have been promising signs under manager Ivan Juric – even if they lost 1-0 to West Ham on Boxing Day. Saints get one Crystal Palace the team that has achieved stability after a miserable start to the season.

of Everton the nightmare schedule has been smartly navigated so far and Nottingham Forest are future flyers hoping to destroy stubborn toffees. ArsenalChelsea and Man City have all drawn against Sean Dyche's men this month.

The league leaders wrap up Sunday's action as they travel to east London and face off West Ham. Liverpool are on course for a 93-point season on their current trajectory and can open a nine-point gap at the summit with a win over the Hammers. Julen Loptegui's team has had an increase in results, but the performances have left a lot to be desired.

We'll have to wait until the evening for Monday's action, but all three games are bound to be intriguing.

Chelsea suffered a festive blow and were beaten by Fulham on Boxing Day – the first time they have lost to the Cottagers at Stamford Bridge in 45 years. The Blues need to ensure the dip doesn't turn into a prolonged drought, but Enzo Maresca's side are ahead of schedule nonetheless.

They have a great opportunity to get back to winning ways at Portman Road as they face one Ipswich the team that has only won twice in the league this season.

Aston Villa did not enjoy their Boxing Day trip to Tyneside, with Anthony Gordon's early goal and Jhon Duran's first-half red card setting the stage for a gloomy afternoon. Will they return to home soil when they welcome a Brighton The team without a win in six against Villa Park?

Newcastle have been excellent recently and have climbed to fifth place in the table. Their electrical form contrasts with that of Manchester Unitedwho have lost their last three in all competitions after winning the Manchester derby. The Red Devils have sunk to 14th place with Ruben Amorim at the helm.

We take some time off on New Year's Eve, but welcome in the new year with an evening starting on January 1st.

Brentford have stuck to the festive period that shone at Gtech all season, with Nottingham Forest becoming the first side to triumph over the Bees in west London just before Christmas.

Thomas Frank's side have been hampered by injuries, but they are facing one Arsenal the team will be without Bukayo Saka for a long time after the winger underwent hamstring surgery. The Gunners are a team capable of controlling contests from the opening minute, but the quality of the final third has been a concern.

Their inability to turn draws into wins could compromise any possible title challenge.
