Looking at how things are turning out this season in La Liga, Barcelona will most likely take it. Other teams are pursuing, but are very unstable. This is especially the case with Real Madrid.

Even though Barca is playing away, they should not have too many problems with Getafe. Moreover, the away team has a record of scoring plenty of goals this season, and this match should not be an exception to that. After the break, everyone will be eager to play and enjoy the game. 

After their first loss in a very long time against City, Liverpool will look to bounce back. Even though this is an FA Cup game, they will not be looking to hold back. The competition is just as important as any other. Liverpool has been firing through all cylinders this season and will look to continue their excellent run.

Wolves have been slaying big teams this season, but Liverpool is of another mold, and it will be interesting to see just how much of a fight the home side can put up. However, given everything that has happened this season so far, I do not see anything but a victory for Liverpool. 
 

Nothing much to talk about for this game. I am going with Norwich for a couple of reasons:

First of all, they are one of the teams that will likely get promoted to the Premier League next season. Secondly, they are playing at home. Finally, they have a better squad between the two teams.
Considering all these advantages, it would not be a stretch to expect a rather comfortable win for Norwich. They are a team that is capable of playing in the top division, and this game should give some proof to that. 
 

The FA Cup is a bit different than other competitions. Top teams tend to play with reserves, saving strength for the more important games. 

However, in the case of this particular match, I am going with West Brom because they have a better squad, are playing at home, and have been doing much better than Wigan in the last few years (minus the relegation from the Premier League).

These games tend to have surprises, but between the two teams, West Bromwich has a clear advantage. 

The match should definitely be very one-sided. The difference between these two teams is just too big, and I do not see the home team putting any kind of a fight against one of the best teams in the country.

It is more than likely that Tottenham will not use their best players for this game, but even their bench players can score plenty of goals against a low division side like Tranmere.

Looking at this game, there is not that much to say about it. Espanyol had a great start to the season but fell off massively. Meanwhile, Leganes had a terrible start but have managed to pick up some momentum in their last few games.

Given that Espanyol is higher in the table and are playing at home, I am willing to be on them for this one. The head-to-head between these two is mixed, and difficult to predict. However, I am willing to lean towards the team that has more points and is playing at home. 

This is without a doubt one of the biggest games of the season. If Liverpool wins it, a lot of people will say that they have the title locked. Meanwhile, a victory for City would bring back the title race back.

Given this unbelievable form of Liverpool, I believe that it has to end sooner or later. And this game seems like the perfect time for that to happen. City are not looking their best at the moment, but they are playing at home.

It will be very interesting to see the outcome of the game. Hopefully, City can prevail and bring back the intrigue back to the Premier League.

After the appointment of OGS, Man Utd has been showing amazing results, and scoring plenty of goals as well. They have been playing attacking football which is attractive to the supporters and neutrals. Whether this will last for a long time is difficult to tell. However, the momentum is with United at the moment.

Newcastle has bounced back and is no longer in a relegation battle. The first game between the two ended in a 3:2 in favor of Man Utd after being down 2 goals.

Something like that will not be happening again, but it should still be United who are happy after the final whistle. They look to get into a race for top-four, and will need all the points they can get. Judging the forms of both teams and their recent results, it should be the away side winning this one. 

West Ham has had one of the worst starts to their season. However, it would seem that the team has bounced back and are in a place where they actually belong. They had big problems with injuries, though it seems that as the players are returning, so are the good results.

Brighton is one of the most unpredictable teams in the league. Therefore, it is safe to assume that they will have problems playing away at West Ham.

It should be three points for the home side, and they should score a couple of goals to boot. 

Wolves have been dubbed as the giant slayers this season. Their recent win against Tottenham in Wembley was one of one of the biggest upsets of the season.

Therefore, it is only natural to expect a somewhat simple game against Crystal Palace. Wolves have been doing great things despite this being their first season after promotion. It will be interesting to see how far the team will go. This game should be one of the easier for them. At least that is what I predict.

Wolves are at home and are against one of the weaker teams in the Premier League. They should get all three points here.
 

Tottenham had disappointed everyone in their last game against Wolves. And as per usual, a lot of people no longer consider them to be in a title race, after one bad result. This is silly, and I am more than sure that they have plenty left in the tank to go and challenge Liverpool and City.

For that to happen, they will need to bounce back. Playing Cardiff is a great opportunity for that. Man Utd has slotted five past them, and Tottenham has just as great attacking threat. While it might not be a goal fest due to tired legs from all these festive games, I still expect a comfortable victory for Tottenham. This one hiccup against Wolverhampton should not be that detrimental. 

Everton has been having mixed results in the last couple of games. The same can be said about Leicester. Both teams are not consistent with their performances, and it should show even more so given the number of games they have had in recent games.

In these matches, it is difficult to predict the exact outcome, no matter who has a clear advantage. However, I am going with Everton. They have a better squad and are playing at home. It will be an interesting match to watch, but the three points should go to the home side.

Things seem to be moving in the right direction for Man Utd. After OGS joined, they look to be more free, especially in the attack. While they do look to be a  bit vulnerable defending, they should not have too many problems in the next couple of games.

Judging how things have turned out the last two games, it would be safe to assume that Man Utd will again go on the offensive and try to improve their goal difference.

Moreover, they have Alexis, Lukaku, and Martial back from injuries. These players should improve the attack even more.

The most interesting match of the weekend, no doubt about it. Liverpool is at home, hosting Arsenal. 

It would seem that a lot of people are in favor of the home side for this match. I tend to agree with them. Arsenal, while they were on a great run, seemed to be in a bit of a decline in the last couple of games. 

Liverpool has the highest goals in sight for this season, and this will be one of those crucial games where they absolutely need to get all three points. Going up against Emery's team will be annoying, but Liverpool should be able to overcome the opposition. Also, I expect to see a lot of goals this game. Mainly because of the holes in the Arsenal defense, and how good the likes of Salah, Mane, Firminho, and even Shaqiri have been so far.

Leicester seems to be in a great form at the moment, and playing at home against one of the worst teams in the league will be a great opportunity to score goals and get those three points.

Cardiff is prone in defense and concedes a lot. Even if Leicester is not considered as a top-tier team, they have plenty of threat up front. The most likely result will be somewhere along the lines of 2:0, though it would not surprise me to see Leicester put even more past the Wales club. 

Spurs have scored eleven goals in their last two games, which is quite an amazing achievement. The team seems to be doing really great right now and can call themselves challengers for the title.

Wolverhampton has had some great results too, but playing against the current Spurs team away is not what any team would like.

I predict that this will be another win for Tottenham, adding those three points to their tally. Not to mention the goals that they will likely score, once again. 

After the appointment of the new interim manager, expectations in Manchester are high. The first game for Ole has been phenomenal, and it will be interesting to see whether the team can continue playing this sort of football against tougher opposition.

Manchester United are hosting Huddersfield, a team that is not considered a top-tier. It will be a good opportunity to continue with this momentum and gaining upon those at the top. 

While it is still early to tell, it is more than likely that Fulham will be one of the teams going down at the end of the season.

Even though they are playing at home, it will still be difficult to expect anything. Wolves have been doing great this season, despite this being their first one after being promoted.

It will be an interesting opener for this year's Boxing day, but one cannot help but expect all three points going to the away team. 

It is more than likely that we will see Norwich in the Premier League next season. Whereas Nottingham has plenty of chances to fight for the playoff spot.

Both teams have been looking quite well recently. However, since Norwich is only one point away from the first place in the table, you cannot help but expect their victory. Moreover, they are playing at home, and this is always a big advantage in these types of games. 

Atalanta away is a tough match. They have proven it time and time again. However, for the current Juventus squad, it seems like there is no team that can even stand a chance against them. 

The away side has been dominating in the league this season, and it is difficult to expect something else happening in the near future.

On paper, the match seems to be tough. However, it will more than likely end up being the usual for Juventus - three points, no matter who they are up against.
