The only Premier League game of the day sees Manchester United take on Newcastle, with both sides aiming to put some pressure on their rivals.
The hosts will be looking to bounce back after defeat to Aston Villa in their last game before Christmas, and a win today for Ruben Amorim's side would put it level on points with both Chelsea and Liverpool as the race for the top four heats up ahead of the start of 2026.
As for the visitors, Eddie Howe's side has a bit of a point to prove heading into the New Year, having endured a mixed start to the league season. They could leapfrog their opponents today with a win, and give their European hopes a much-needed boost.
