Second will tackle third in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon as Leicester City prepare to welcome a revitalised Manchester United to the King Power Stadium.
Leicester have picked up 27 points from their 14 league games this season to sit second in the table, one point ahead of third-placed United, who have a game in hand over the Foxes and indeed leaders Liverpool.
We say: Leicester City 2-2 Manchester United
This has all of the makings of a brilliant game of football, and there should be goals at the King Power Stadium. United will be searching for yet another away victory, but Leicester's recent form has been strong, and we are struggling to separate the two sides, ultimately backing a 2-2 draw.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Crystal Palace will be looking to bounce back from their seven-goal loss to Liverpool when they continue their 2020-21 Premier League campaign away to Aston Villa on Boxing Day.
The Eagles were thumped by the reigning champions at Selhurst Park last time out, but Villa, who currently sit ninth in the table, recorded an impressive 3-0 win away to Sam Allardyce's West Bromwich Albion.
We say: Aston Villa 2-1 Crystal Palace
Palace are certainly a lot better then they showed against Liverpool, but we are finding it difficult to back against the hosts here. Smith's side are without a victory in their last four league games at home - suffering three defeats in the process - but we are tipping Villa to edge a narrow game at Villa Park.

Fulham vs. Southampton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Fulham will be aiming to stretch their unbeaten run in the Premier League to four matches when they welcome Southampton to Craven Cottage for Boxing Day's encounter.
The hosts played out a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United last time out, whereas Southampton suffered a narrow defeat to Manchester City on the South Coast.
We say: Fulham 1-1 Southampton
Losing Ings to yet another injury is a huge blow for Southampton as they look to keep pace with the European-chasing pack, but the Saints have already shown that they can cope well without their star striker. Fulham are definitely playing with more determination at the minute, and despite Southampton's strong away form, we think the Cottagers will do enough to come away with a point.

Arsenal vs. Chelsea (Saturday, 5.30pm)

One of the most eagerly-anticipated fixtures of the Premier League calendar will take place at the Emirates Stadium on Boxing Day as Arsenal welcome London rivals Chelsea.
The Gunners, who are down in 15th spot in the table, will be searching for their first league victory since the start of November, while Chelsea will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in England's top flight, having comfortably dispatched West Ham United at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.
We say: Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea
For all of Arsenal's problems this season, they are more than capable of picking up a positive result against a Chelsea side that still have their shortcomings. It is very difficult to back the Gunners taking everything into consideration, though, and we have ultimately picked a narrow away victory in this Boxing Day fixture.

Man City vs. Newcastle (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Two sides who endured contrasting fortunes in their EFL Cup quarter-final showdowns will soon turn their attention to the Premier League as Manchester City face off against Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium on Boxing Day.
City eased into the last four of the EFL Cup with a dominant 4-1 win on Arsenal's turf, whereas Newcastle bowed out of the competition as they lost 1-0 at Championship side Brentford.
We say: Manchester City 2-0 Newcastle United
City, and Aguero in particular, boast an incredibly strong record against the Magpies, who will still be reeling from their dampening EFL Cup exit. Guardiola's men have not hit their usual goalscoring heights in the Premier League, but they will fancy their chances against a decimated Newcastle defence, so this should be a routine win for City on Boxing Day.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Sheffield United's search for their first Premier League win of the season will continue on Boxing Day when they welcome high-flying Everton to Bramall Lane.
The Blades are currently bottom of the table with just two points to show from their first 14 matches of the 2020-21 campaign, while Everton sit fourth, just five points behind league leaders Liverpool.
We say: Sheffield United 1-1 Everton
Everton are expected to be missing a number of important players this weekend, while Sheffield United have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks. The Toffees will be desperate to put another league victory on the board, but we are backing the home side to pick up a point on Boxing Day.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
