When Premier League betting takes a break for a foreign trip, there’s frequently a collective moan. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case this time round. Superstars from the Premier League have gone to Qatar for the FIFA World Cup, the biggest sporting event on earth, which is already well underway.
There will undoubtedly be some who lament the absence of domestic football during the FIFA World Cup, but with so much international action taking place, enthusiasm is growing, and aspirations are rising.
Given its position as the most prestigious football league worldwide, the Premier League is indeed the most wonderful collection of superstar talent from all over the world, with almost every team at the FIFA World Cup expected to include a player who’s playing for their team, country, and fans.
Premier League Football Returns
On Monday, December 26th, 2022, the Premier League will resume after the FIFA World Cup. Many football fans look forward to this day with great anticipation. The idea that Christmas football would be abandoned was one of the main worries that football fans had over the possibility of a winter FIFA World Cup.
Naturally, the majority of December’s schedule has been cleared of all Premier League fixtures, but Boxing Day games are still a staple of English football, so nothing has changed there.
What better way to celebrate the return of domestic football than with a fantastic spread of matches?
Favourite Teams
In 2022/23 Premier League predictions, City is adamant about defending its crown, but Liverpool is seeking retribution, and there might be more rivals as well. According to the most recent Premier League odds, Manchester City is still one of the overwhelming favourites to win the league after losing their season opener to Liverpool.
The teams listed below are the favourites to win the 2022/23 Premier League.
Manchester City
After winning the championship in four of the previous five seasons, Man City is the undisputed favourite to do likewise this year. As a result, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus both left, albeit the addition of Erling Haaland will help them.
In addition, Kalvin Phillips was signed by City to aid the midfield, while Julian Alvarez will boost the offence. Unquestionably, something special will be required to keep City from winning the league again.
Liverpool
After falling short of the quadruple last season and having to make do with the FA Cup and League Cup, Liverpool will be more driven to win the league this time around. Although the loss of Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich is disappointing, Klopp will be counting on Darwin Nunez, a recent addition, to adapt quickly, much as Luis Diaz did last season.
Liverpool’s lack of midfield reinforcement is worrying, but the German manager should have this club within spitting distance of another championship defence.
Tottenham
It’s commonly known that Tottenham hasn’t won the league since 1961, but under Antonio Conte, there’s a genuine sense of confidence. Tottenham is capable of significantly unsettling defences because of players like Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
They now have added talent in the midfield thanks to the additions of Yves Bissouma and Ivan Perisic. Even more advantageous was the high-profile addition of Richarlison, giving Conte access to many offensive potentials. Conte helped Tottenham finish in the top four last year by defeating rival Arsenal. This year, he wants to go even further.
Chelsea
Due to the eventual departure of owner Roman Abramovich, Thomas Tuchel’s team’s second half of the previous campaign was extremely risky. Todd Boehly is the new manager, and Chelsea will seek to put more pressure on Manchester City and Liverpool after placing third the previous season.
At Chelsea, Raheem Sterling replaced the departing Romelu Lukaku, while Kalidou Koulibaly entered to begin the defensive makeover. Tuchel has been privy to several elite athletes this year.
Manchester United
Even though they had a dismal season and finished sixth, United is still confident about a prosperous new chapter under manager Erik ten Hag. There’s a huge ton of work to be done at Old Trafford. Among the newcomers to United are Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, and Lisandro Martinez.
Currently, a title run seems unduly optimistic, but if the team performs well, the new management boost may give the team the much-needed boost.
December Lineup
The first three days of the returning Premier League are jam-packed with games. On Monday, December 26th, 2022, you can watch Brentford take on Tottenham, Crystal Palace vs Fulham, Everton battle it out against Wolves, Leicester against Newcastle, Southampton vs Brighton, Aston Villa putting Liverpool to the test and finally, Arsenal against West Ham.
Tuesday, December 27th, 2022, there are only two games scheduled, starting with Chelsea taking on Bournemouth, and after that, you can watch Manchester United against Nottingham Forest. On Wednesday, December 28th, 2022, Leeds battles it out against Manchester City.
Brentford vs Tottenham
The most likely result of this match, according to our research of the available data, including performances and statistics, is a victory for Tottenham Hotspur, with a chance of 49.14%. The likelihood of a Brentford victory is 26.18%, while the likelihood of a draw is 24.7%.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
This should be a very level encounter, and how it plays out will all rely on the strategies each club’s coach uses on the field.
But barring a shocking upset, the game between Crystal Palace and Fulham will likely conclude in a draw at 1-1. A triumph for the locals would be the better option, but don’t hold your breath hoping for it.
Everton vs Wolves
Nuno has defeated Silva three times in a row as a manager, but we expect that streak to end this weekend. Everton is in excellent form at home, but the visitors have recently had difficulty winning on the road.
Despite having the firepower to overcome Everton’s formidable defence, the Wolves might not be able to win the match. Everton defeating the Wolves 2-1 is the outcome that’s most likely to occur.
