Turn to page 34 to read our previews on the rest of the best festive fixtures! MAN. UNITED V MAN. CITY We got treated to four Manchester derbies last season, with the two rivals meeting in the EFL Cup semi-finals as well! The Red Devils won three of their four clashes, but still didn’t progress to the final because they lost on aggregate. United have a better all-time record, but haven’t finished above City since 2013… TOTTENHAM V ARSENAL The North London derby is one of the fiercest Prem fixtures in the calendar! There were 16 yellow cards combined in their two Prem clashes last season, and a red card in both of their head-to-heads in 2018-19. There hasn’t been a PL win for the side playing away from home…

ADAMA TRAORE WOLVES OLIVE OIL We’ve heard Adama Traore loves rubbing Baby Oil on his arms before a match to slip away from defenders, but we reckon this Spanish olive oil is well fancier! PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG ARSENAL SAT NAV PEA has really struggled for goals so far this season, so we’ve bought him a Sat Nav – programmed to direct him towards the back of the net! DELE ALLI TOTTENHAM BASKETBALL Dele Alli is getting barely any game time under Jose Mourinho, so we’ve bought him a basketball so he can start a career in the NBA instead! JURGEN KLOPP LIVERPOOL JOHN TERRY With Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez out for a while, we think Klopp needs some help in defence! We’ve managed to convince our mate John Terry…

BOSSES BATTLE! CHELSEA v LEEDS Marcelo Bielsa and Frank Lampard have history! The Leeds manager was caught sending a spy to the Derby training ground when Lamps was still in charge of The Rams – and the Blues boss has never forgiven him. We could see as much passion in the dugouts as we will on the pitch for this feisty festive clash! WSL DEJA VU! EVERTONWOMEN vMAN. CITYWOMEN This game is a repeat of the 2020 Women’s FA Cup Final from last month! The match ended 1-1 after 90 minutes, before City scored twice in extra time to lift the famous trophy! There’s barely been anything to separate the two teams in the Women’s Super League this year, with both sides fighting near the top! MESSI V RONALDO! BARCELONA…

Merry Christmas, Isaac! How excited are you? ISAAC SAYS: “I would say 6/10! As a footballer, you play so many games that you don’t really have time to fully enjoy it as you’re away for some of Christmas! I’ve enjoyed it more as my daughter gets older!” What’s the first thing that comes to mind at Xmas? ISAAC SAYS: “The first thing that comes to mind at Xmas is the tree – and when you get to decorate it!” Do you buy present early or late? ISAAC SAYS: "I'm always early! I get it done before all of the late rush. i'm organised-I'm definitely not a last-minute type of guy!" What are you getting your team-mates? ISAAC SAYS: "I would buy Allan Saint-Maximin a watch, so he can keep time…

MARCUS RASHFORD MAN. UNITED ★ ST It didn’t take long for us to discover how overpowered the 23-year-old is on FIFA 21, but his Team Of The Week card is absolutely insane! With 94 sprint speed, he’s almost impossible to catch, and his dribbling and finishing attributes are world-class! VIRGIL VAN DIJK LIVERPOOL ★ CB We’re finding it difficult to defend on FIFA 21, so who better to help us improve than the best centre-back on the planet? He won’t be getting any IF cards this year, but his 90-rated card still has top stats, including 92 for defensive awareness! HARRY KANE TOTTENHAM ★ ST Kane isn’t that popular on Ultimate Team this year, mainly due to his lack of pace! However, that isn’t an issue when it comes to…

MONOPOLY MAD! FODEN SAYS: “I know it might sound strange, but we always play Monopoly as a family at Christmas! It does get competitive at times… Everyone is trying to win by getting the blue properties, and it gets bad when we’re fighting over Mayfair!” STOP THE BUS! WEBSTER SAYS: “The last couple of years my brother played this game at work, and he brought it home – it’s called ‘Stop the Bus’. You have different categories and you have to pull a letter out of a bowl, which has topics related to it. It might not sound the best, but it’s a decent game!”…
