Tottenham Hotspur will be aiming to kick off the New Year on the right foot when they welcome Leeds United to North London for Saturday's Premier League encounter.
The visitors trounced West Bromwich Albion 5-0 in midweek, whereas Tottenham's clash with Fulham was postponed due to a coronavirus outbreak in the Cottagers' camp.
We say: Tottenham Hotspur 2-2 Leeds United
This has all the makings of an enthralling game. Tottenham's pace on the counter-attack could prove deadly against a depleted Leeds defence, but the Whites' relentless pressing and affinity for goals should serve them well against this Mourinho team. Spurs will be desperate to put their miserable end to 2020 behind them straight away, but we can see Leeds coming away with a point from this showdown.
Our tipster partners are predicting that both teams will score (BTTS - yes).

Crystal Palace will be aiming to build on their hard-fought draw against Leicester City when they welcome Sheffield United to Selhurst Park for Saturday's Premier League bout.
While Roy Hodgson's men managed to take a point from their clash with Leicester, Sheffield United's abysmal run continued with a narrow defeat to fellow strugglers Burnley in midweek.
We say: Crystal Palace 2-1 Sheffield United
Sheffield United have struggled to find the back of the net all season, and Palace are bound to feel more confident heading into the New Year after battling for a point against Leicester. Furthermore, the Blades' viral outbreak has further depleted their squad as they fight to turn their season around, and we expect Palace to be the ones to end their winless streak with a slender victory at Selhurst Park.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or draw.

Brighton vs. Wolves (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Having experienced both the joy and despair of late goals in the past week, Wolverhampton Wanderers travel south to take on Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Their hosts, meanwhile, have slumped to seven games without a win and are looking nervously at the clubs below them in the Premier League relegation dogfight.
We say: Brighton & Hove Albion 0-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
With both sides at a low ebb following a spirit-sapping end to 2020, this encounter has taken on extra significance for their respective managers.
Two goal-shy outfits are therefore set to play out a cagey affair, with Brighton keeping a greater share of the ball, but Wolves snatching a winner as more space appears late in the game.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

West Brom vs. Arsenal (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Arsenal will be looking to make it three Premier League victories in a row when they travel to the Hawthorns to face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday night.
The Gunners have beaten Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion in their last two games to move into 13th position in the table, but West Brom remain in 19th, having collected just eight points from 16 matches.
We say: West Bromwich Albion 1-2 Arsenal
West Brom will be determined to bounce back from their heavy defeat to Leeds, but it is difficult to back the Baggies on Saturday night. Arsenal have shown improvement in their last two matches, and we fancy the Gunners to claim all three points courtesy of a narrow success.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
