With that in mind, we have decided to take up the Skybet Super 6 Challenge.
Here are this week's selections.
Our Skybet Super 6 Challenge predictions
Newcastle vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa come into this game on a poor run of form away from home, having lost their last four Premier League away matches, scoring just twice and conceding 11 goals in the process. In contrast, Newcastle appear to have turned a corner, registering convincing 4-0 victories over Leicester and Ipswich. At St. James' Park, Newcastle have been tough to beat, losing just twice this season and only five times in their last 27 home matches.
Both teams have the firepower to find the back of the net, but Newcastle look to have the edge, given their current momentum. Villa rank 17th in the league for away expected points this season, highlighting their struggles on the road. Meanwhile, despite Newcastle sitting 12th for home expected points, their recent form suggests they are in a much stronger position than Villa heading into this clash.

Chelsea vs Fulham
Fulham currently sit fourth in the league for xPTS this season, which suggests they have the potential to trouble Chelsea. However, both teams had to settle for 0-0 draws last time out with Chelsea struggling to break down Everton, while Fulham were left frustrated at home against bottom-placed Southampton.
Fulham have managed just one win in their last six Premier League matches, highlighting their recent struggles. Chelsea, on the other hand, have been solid at home, boasting a record of W4-D3-L1. With their superior quality and home advantage, Chelsea should have the upper hand, especially as Fulham may be dealing with one or two injuries that could impact their performance.

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham
Nottingham Forest welcome a depleted Tottenham side dealing with significant injuries in key defensive positions. Forest have been excellent at home this season, sitting fourth in the table with four wins from eight fixtures, losing just twice at the City Ground. Spurs, on the other hand, have been struggling defensively, conceding four goals to Chelsea, three to Manchester United, and six to Liverpool in recent matches.
Tottenham are unlikely to change their attacking style, which could leave them vulnerable to Forest’s counter-attacking approach. Forest rank sixth for xPTS this season, while Spurs are down in 12th, further highlighting the hosts' edge in this matchup. With Tottenham’s defensive crisis at centre-back, Forest’s strength at set-pieces could prove decisive and allow them to capitalise on Spurs' defensive frailties.

Southampton vs West Ham
Southampton are currently the worst-performing team in the Premier League, sitting at the bottom of the table for xPTS. No side has conceded more xGA, shots on target, or shots in the box at home than the Saints, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities.
West Ham, while inconsistent this season, have shown improvement recently and are now unbeaten in their last three Premier League matches. Southampton, on the other hand, have conceded an average of 2.12 goals per game this season and have managed just two clean sheets. Their attacking struggles were evident in their recent 0-0 draw with Fulham, where they mustered only five shots, one on target, and generated a mere 0.26 xG.
If West Ham can find a way to score, it’s hard to see Southampton having the firepower to mount a comeback, given their struggles at both ends of the pitch.
- Score 1-2 at 8.0 with Skybet
Wolves vs Manchester Utd
Wolves host Manchester United in a matchup where both sides have struggled defensively despite showing strong attacking intent. Both teams rank near the top of the league for xG conceded from set pieces and have found it difficult to consistently shut out the opposition. This sets the stage for what could be a high-scoring encounter, with both sides likely to adopt attacking approaches.
Wolves have conceded a league-high 40 goals in just 17 matches, highlighting their defensive frailties. Meanwhile, Manchester United have been slightly better defensively on the road, conceding only eight goals away from home this season. However, they have managed just two clean sheets in their last 10 matches, one of which was a 3-0 win over a struggling Leicester side.
With both teams prone to defensive lapses and likely to go on the offensive, this game promises plenty of goals.

Liverpool vs Leicester
Leicester face a daunting challenge as they travel to Anfield to take on Liverpool on Boxing Day. Liverpool have been formidable this season, boasting a record of W25-D3-L1 across all competitions. In the Premier League, they have failed to win just four matches all season and have conceded only 16 goals at home. At Anfield, they have kept four clean sheets and are yet to face a side from the bottom half of the table.
Leicester’s defensive struggles are a major concern. They have allowed a high number of shots and have looked vulnerable under Ruud van Nistelrooy’s management. The Foxes have conceded in every away match this season, shipping two or more goals in seven of their eight games on the road. Their recent away form has been particularly poor, with 11 goals conceded in their last three away fixtures.
Given Liverpool’s attacking firepower and Leicester’s frailties, this should be a comfortable win for the Reds, likely accompanied by a clean sheet.
- Score 4-0 at 8.0 with Skybet
