Patrice Evra and Chris Sutton have looked ahead to the festive fixtures in the Premier League, starting on Boxing Day ️⚽️ Here's how they think it will all play out 👇
Crystal Palace vs Fulham
‘They have probably over-achieved so far, while it feels like Crystal Palace have under-performed in many respects, certainly when I look through their squad. I am going to back the Eagles this time, though. They are always decent at home and I think they will edge this.’Evra: ‘Lampard is under pressure, if they don’t win I think he could get sacked. If you’re an owner, you will be influenced by wanting to start a fresh in the new year, that could be a mistake.
‘I can see there being at least one surprise result in this first round of games back after the World Cup and I think Villa boss Unai Emery will fancy his chances of sneaking this one.’Evra: ‘Arsenal have the opportunity to go eight points clear before City play, and the players have to be professional and understand the goal and not enjoy the Christmas period. Jesus is out and I think they are going to miss him. I can see this one being a draw.
