New Year’s Day Premier League predictions: Chelsea to beat Tottenham (again), Liverpool to smash Leicester and Arsenal to draw at Southampton

Manchester City 5-1 Sunderland

Despite blowing a 2-0 lead to draw with Burnley on Sunday, City remain top of the form table. However, Manuel Pellegrini will have been far from complimentary with his side in private following their capitulation against the Clarets. With the manager’s strong words ringing in their ears, the champions will thoroughly be fired up – that is bad news for Sunderland.
