    United looked down and out when going two behind at home to Villa on Boxing Day.

    Get involved now for a chance to win a £500 Amazon voucherCredit: Dream Team
    For clarity, you don’t have to predict the exact outcomes of all five games to land the top prize – that would be asking too much – you simply have to outscore your rivals, meaning somebody must win.
    Some of our previous winners this season landed amazing prizes having submitted their predictions in ten seconds through sheer gut instinct – it takes no time at all to play and it’s completely free.
    Check out our predictions for Matchweek 20 below…
    Manchester City vs Sheffield United
    Manchester City should claim maximum points against rock-bottom Sheffield United as they look to bridge the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool and Arsenal.
    The Cityzens made tough work of the reverse fixture back in August, but do boast a 100% record in their last six clashes against the South Yorkshire side.
    Though with six wins from six against Sheffield United since 2019, it’s rarely a rout.
    City have won 1-0 on three occasions and only twice by more than a two-goal margin. It could be a similar story with Chris Wilder back in charge and already showing huge improvement at Bramall Lane.
    Our Prediction: 2-0 to Manchester City
    Manchester City star Julian Alvarez is enjoying a profitable spellCredit: GETTY
    Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United
    Both arrive after excellent results on Boxing Day.
    Nuno Espirito Santo claimed his first win since replacing Steve Cooper with a tremendous 3-1 victory over Newcastle at St James’ Park.
    Chris Wood bagged a hat-trick in that contest, while Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga were outstanding on the break, causing all sorts of problems.
    It looked to be further misery for Erik ten Hag’s side against Aston Villa, but goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund completed an outstanding second-half comeback.
    Nuno hasn’t fared too well against United in his managerial career, winning just two of his 10 clashes in all competitions – losing four of those.
    Furthermore, only Arsenal have conceded fewer goals away from home in the Premier League than Manchester United this season, and with spirits high — we think they could be set for a narrow victory.
    Our Prediction: 0-1 to Manchester United
    Chris Wood bagged a hat-trick against Newcastle on Boxing DayCredit: GETTY
    Fulham vs Arsenal
    Revenge will be on the menu for Arsenal, who drew this clash 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium despite boasting a man advantage earlier this season.
    And it looks as though Mikel Arteta’s side meet Fulham at the opportune moment.
    After a great spell that included two five-goal victories, Marco Silva’s side have lost their last three league matches without scoring a goal.
    The Gunners have also won on their last five visits to Craven Cottage by an aggregate score of 15-2.
    Our Prediction: 0-2 to Arsenal
    Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard is starting to motorCredit: GETTY
    Tottenham vs Bournemouth
    Believe it or not, but Bournemouth are the most in-form side in the Premier League having taken 12 points from a possible 15.
    Andoni Iraola’s side have won six of their last seven matches, scoring 3+ goals on four occasions during that spell.
    Tottenham aren’t doing badly themselves after collecting nine points from their last three against Everton, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle.
    Neither will be backing down in this contest, and that’s clear given three of the last five meetings have produced over 4.5 goals.
    Our Prediction: 2-2 draw

    Richarlison has settled into his role as No.9 at TottenhamCredit: GETTY
    Liverpool vs Newcastle
    Newcastle face a stiff task travelling to Anfield after a series of bad results.
    Eddie Howe’s Magpies look knackered after carrying a huge injury list into a busy fixture schedule. They arrive having lost successive matches to Luton Town and Nottingham Forest, and haven’t beaten Liverpool away since 1994.
    The same cannot be said for Liverpool, who are genuine title contenders having registered 42 points from 19 league games.
    Jurgen Klopp’s side returned to winning ways by beating Burnley 2-0 on Boxing Day, while they’ve only dropped four points at Anfield this campaign.
    Our Prediction: 2-0 to Liverpool

    Both sides will be content with their first half of the season.
    They successfully got through their respective European campaigns and find themselves where they probably ought to be in the Premier League.
    West Ham have beaten the Gunners already this season in the earlier rounds of the Carabao Cup.

    The recent form of Everton has been incredible, particularly following that 10-point deduction.
    Sean Dyche’s men would be comfortably in the top half without that deduction and they won’t fear the champions coming here.
    City are back in league duty following their spell in the Middle East at the Club World Cup.
    They already had a bit of catching up to do in the league before missing a game at the weekend and you’d think they can’t afford to drop too many more points.

    Man Utd vs Aston Villa tips and free bets for Premier League clash with talkSPORT BET

    TWO of the clubs in the hunt for a top four spot this season – or possibly even more – meet at Old Trafford as Manchester United host Aston Villa in a Boxing Day treat today.We’ve picked out our top tip for the clash with talkSPORT BET – who are offering brand new customers an incredible £30 in free bets when they stake just £10 on football!

    Despite their well-documented troubles in recent years, this fixture at Old Trafford hasn’t been too unkind for Manchester United.
    In fact, Aston Villa have won only once here since 2010 – a late 1-0 win in 2021 – where Bruno Fernandes missed an injury time penalty.
    There haven’t been too many teams in recent seasons where Villa will have gone into the game ahead of United in the table.
    But that’s exactly where they are this time around – and comfortably ahead too.
    United have won the last three meetings at Old Trafford between the sides, which included two cup wins.
    Villa did thump them in the reverse fixture in the league last season though and will be fancied by many to take the points here – including by us!
    Tip
    The odds on offer, there’s really only one way we can lean in this one.
    Unai Emery’s side haven’t had many good results at Old Trafford but this is a completely new side with a newfound belief.
    They’ve lost just once in their last eight away games in all competitions and the pace in the attacking areas is bound to cause problems to whatever defence United put out.
    Both teams have scored in six of those seven away games – that trend can continue.

    Injuries & suspensions update ahead of Gameweek 17: Latest news on Pau Torres, Anthony Gordon and more

    DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 17 in one easily digestible dose.As always, Eddie Howe kept his cards close to his chest in regards to Newcastle’s availability doubts.
    A late decision is to be made on Joelinton (£3.7m), Fabian Schar (£3.9m) and Anthony Gordon (£4m).
    Speaking about the latter, the Magpies’ boss said: “Anthony was sore. It was a horrible challenge on him, I am really disappointed with the tackle – we will see how he is today.”
    Alexander Isak (£4.1m) is deemed “50/50” for Newcastle’s trip to Luton on Saturday.

    Dream Team bosses once again have a decision to make on GordonCredit: Reuters
    This weekend comes too soon for Thomas Partey (£2.6m) who is “still finalising his rehab” and Arsenal are generally light in midfield with Mohamed Elneny (£1.3m) and Fabio Vieira (£2.4m) also sidelined – Jorginho (£2.1m) is a doubt too.
    Seamus Coleman (£2.1m) is “touch and go” for Everton’s trip to Tottenham this weekend but Sean Dyche confirmed that Vitaliy Mykolenko (£3.4m) is in contention having returned to training this week.
    Abdoulaye Doucoure (£3.2m) won’t feature for the Toffees on Saturday but his injury is a minor one and the club are hopeful of a quick return.
    As for Spurs, Yves Bissouma (£2.6m) and Destiny Udogie (£2.5m) are both suspended, though the latter will be available in midweek.
    James Ward-Prowse (£4.4m) and Lucas Paqueta (£4.1m) were named on West Ham’s bench in midweek but David Moyes expressed the need for rotation – both midfielders are likely to start at home to Manchester United.
    Villa will be without their in-form centre-back tonightCredit: Dream Team
    Unai Emery revealed to reporters that he’ll be without both Youri Tielemans (£2.7m) and Pau Torres (£3.1m) this evening.
    Boubacar Kamara (£2.2m) is also suspended for Sheffield United’s visit to Villa Park following his red card last time out but both Douglas Luiz (£3.7m) and Lucas Digne (£3m) are available again.
    The Villains’ tactician suggested Clement Lenglet (£2.3m) would play at centre-back in Torres’ absence.
    Pedro Neto (£3.2m) may be included in Wolves’ Christmas Eve squad for the first time since pulling up with a hamstring injury.
    The Portuguese winger has participated in full training all week with the rest of the squad.
    Reece James (£3.5m) is set to undergo surgery in Finland and is expected to be sidelined until at least March.
    Kaoru Mitoma (£3.5m) was seen leaving Selhurst Park on crutches on Thursday night – he is therefore a doubt to face Spurs later in Gameweek 17.

    Transfer recommendations ahead of Gameweek 17 – Ezri Konsa, Bruno Guimaraes and more

    MAKE sure you confirm your Dream Team transfers before Friday’s 7pm deadline to make the most of the festive period.With almost daily Premier League action from now until the new year, it’s imperative your XI is set up to capture as many points as possible.
    Let’s start with transfer suggestions for Gameweek 17, though we’ll spare you the usual names who go without saying: Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.7m), Son Heung-min (£4.6m), Bukayo Saka (£6.6m), etc.

    Ezri Konsa (£3.3m)
    Dream Team bosses should target the first fixture of Gameweek 17 as it’s a big mismatch.
    Aston Villa boast the best home record in the Premier League this season (averaging three goals per game) and this Friday they’ll host Sheffield United, the side currently propping up the league table in 20th.
    The Blades have conceded the most goals and scored the fewest – it really should be one-way traffic in the hosts’ favour.
    Ollie Watkins (£4.6m) is first in line to benefit but he’s in that obvious category.
    Backing multiple Villa assets certainly wouldn’t be overkill and Konsa is among those worthy of serious consideration.

    The 26-year-old is one of just seven defenders to have reached 100 points this season and the main reason for that is his ability to earn bonus points.
    Villa’s No4 has 29 bonus points to his name, putting him at the top of the podium among defender, just above Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.7m) and Kieran Trippier (£5.2m).
    Friday’s fixture is Konsa’s best chance of a substantial haul but it wouldn’t be a surprise if he added a few more to his tally at Old Trafford on Boxing Day – Manchester United have scored fewer league goals than Bournemouth, Wolves and Everton this term.

    Newcastle face Luton and Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 17 – that screams points.
    The problem is that there are question marks over usual suspects Kieran Trippier (£5.2m) and Anthony Gordon (£4m).
    The former’s form has fallen off a cliff this month while the latter is once again a doubt having taken a “nasty knock” in midweek.
    Perhaps Guimaraes is the man for the task?
    The Brazil international has earned the most bonus points among all assets this season and he gets through plenty of tackles.
    Granted, he’s only scored one goal in all competitions this campaign but he’s amassed 116 points and that’s what ultimately matters.
    The main takeaway from this suggestion should be that somewhere in the Magpies’ squad there is a player who will do very, very well against Luton and Forest – it’s just a matter of finding him.

    Cole Palmer (£3.2m)

    Chelsea are not a team to be relied upon this season but four of their players have passed the 100-point mark – the same number as Liverpool, Manchester City and Aston Villa.
    Palmer is among that crop having pocketed 17 points in Gameweek 16.
    The 21-year-old has quickly become a key player for the Blues with six goals and six assists in his first 17 appearances for the club.
    Mauricio Pochettino’s side play Wolves on Christmas Eve before hosting Crystal Palace three days later.
    Nottingham Forest are the only side below the Eagles in the form table right now so Chelsea’s double header has to be considered favourable, despite the fact they’re only tenth in the league themselves.
    Palmer is the man in form but it may be wise to opt for a defensive asset instead, given Wolves and Palace’s respective struggles in front of goal lately.
    Levi Colwill (£2.5m), Thiago Silva (£2.9m) and Axel Disasi (£2.9m) are all coming off double-digit hauls in Gameweek 16 and are very affordable.
    Dominic Solanke (£3.6m)

    Bournemouth’s No9 appeared to have notched his tenth goal of the season last weekend before the fixture against Luton was rightfully abandoned because of Tom Lockyer’s medical emergency.
    Given that only six Dream Team players have reached double figures for goals in all competitions at this stage of the season, Solanke deserves to be thought of as strong option.
    The Cherries have been in fine form of late, in stark contrast to Saturday’s opponents, Forest, who were forced to part with Steve Cooper after a dismal run of results.
    Barring a sizeable New Manager Bounce, Andoni Iraola’s men should make most of the running this weekend and the stats suggest Solanke is most likely to benefit.

    Bournemouth then host Fulham on Boxing Day, a tougher proposition on paper but hardly a match-up to swerve.
    With many gaffers ditching Erling Haaland (£7.9m) and Julian Alvarez (£4.2m) this week, Solanke should be considered a potentially smart option, at least in the short term.
