This Yuletide season is filled with a flurry of Premier League games.
Across England, Game Week 17 matches are set to take place this weekend.
The highly anticipated fixture will see Manchester United travel to face Liverpool on Sunday.
Aside from this game, which other matches could potentially yield surprising outcomes?
NewsNow delves into what the weekend could have in store for us.
1. Arsenal vs Brighton: The Seagulls have developed a reputation as a troublesome opponent for Arsenal at the Emirates. Having won five and lost four of their 12 Premier League encounters against the Gunners, Brighton has proven to be a formidable challenge. Although Mikel Arteta’s side is unbeaten in 12 home matches across all competitions since their 3-0 defeat to Brighton in May, lightning could strike twice.
2. Man City vs Crystal Palace: Home discomfort continues as Manchester City always seems to struggle against Crystal Palace at the Etihad. The Eagles have only suffered two defeats in their previous five visits, clinching two victories and a draw. Saturday evening’s match presents a potentially tricky situation for the reigning champions, who are likely to be without their star striker, Erling Haaland.
3. Chelsea vs Sheffield United: Chelsea’s performance at home has been lackluster. The Blues will aim to secure consecutive Premier League home victories for the first time since their three-game streak from August to October last year. Meanwhile, Sheffield United, under the guidance of Chris Wilder, appear rejuvenated and ready to fight for survival, possibly creating challenges for their hosts.
