First of all Merry Christmas to everyone from cold and snowy Paris. Without further ado let's get to the picks for the boxing day schedule of the EPL!
Fulham - West Ham (2-0)
This game comes down to who wants the points more and of course it is better to side with the home team.
Blackburn Rovers - Stoke (1-1)
Turmoil continues to be the theme at Ewood Park and I see the points split between two very physical teams.
Blackpool - Liverpool (2-4)
This will be a high scoring game, and I see Liverpool having too much firepower for the newly promoted Blackpool although I would not be surprised by a draw.
Bolton - West Brom (2-0)
Bolton should be able to continue their early form and grab all the points against West Brom.
Everton - Birmingham (2-1)
Perhaps last week's victory over Manchester City will be the type of victory that could change the fortunes for Everton and I see them continuing their good form.
Manchester United - Sunderland (2-1)
Sunderland have played exceptionally well so far this season, but the Red Devils will be too much for Sunderland.
Newcastle - Manchester City (2-3)
Newcastle have yet to play well at home and City will be a tough challenge for them, so expect the points to go to the Citizens.
Wolverhampton - Wigan (2-1)
Again, another case where both teams need the points and I am going with the home team again.
Aston Villa - Tottenham (2-2)
Gerard Houllier is in quite the mess at Villa Park but he will gladly take a point against Spurs.
Arsenal - Chelsea (2-0)
Now this is the true Christmas present we have all been looking forward to, and with that being said the Gunners will grab the three points.
Manchester City - Aston Villa (2-0)
Villa will find it tough with back to back games against Spurs and City and I expect City to grab three points.
Stoke City - Fulham (1-0)
Stoke will use their physicality to grab all three points against Fulham.
Sunderland - Blackpool (3-1)
After their match again Manchester United, Sunderland will come out with guns a blazing and grab all three points against Blackpool.
Tottenham - Newcastle United (2-0)
This will be an interesting match since Andy Carroll is rumored to be on his way to Spurs, but I still expect Tottenham to win the match.
West Brom - Blackburn (2-1)
West Brom will definitely go for the victory against Blackburn and with all the aforementioned turmoil West Brom should be able to win by a goal or two.
West Ham - Everton (2-2)
Even after their impressive victory over City and their presumed victory against Birmingham, Everton will settle for a point against West Ham.
Birmingham - Manchester United (2-2)
For some reason I see United dropping the points away from home against Birmingham, and a draw is on the cards.
Chelsea - Bolton (3-1)
Chelsea will bounce back after their defeat to Arsenal with a proper romping against Bolton and American sensation Stuart Holden.
Wigan - Arsenal (1-2)
This will be a productive holiday season for the Gunners as they grab maximum points and see all their rivals dropping points.
Liverpool - Wolverhampton (2-0)
Liverpool will also have a productive holiday season with maximum points and should grab all the points and the goals against Wolves.
84-88
