FOOTBALL – BOXING DAY FOOTBALL

One of the biggest days of the footballing calendar is almost upon and as the fans wake up bleary-eyed and full of turkey, players across the pyramid will be going through their final pre-match routines.

In the top flight, Manchester City are a lunchtime kick-off and despite their horrific run of form, Pep Guardiola’s side are 1/3 to finally spread a bit of Christmas cheer and collect all three points against visitors Everton.

League leaders Liverpool are a prohibitive 1/14 to beat Leicester in the late kick-off, but they can be bought or sold at 2.85-3.15 on our Supremacy football spread betting market.

In the Championship, there is a blockbuster fixture between Sheffield United and Burnley, with the South Yorkshire hosts available at 7/5 and Burnley 2/1 to get a win. It is the kind of day that lends itself to kicking back on the sofa with a leftover turkey sandwich, and if you fancy putting an accumulator together, remember you can get a boost of up to 100%!

RACING – BOXING DAY RACING

Football betting punters may well have one of their busiest days this week, but it is also a huge week for horse racing betting enthusiasts with 11 meetings taking place across the UK and Ireland. The pick of the action comes from Kempton, where two superstars go head-to-head in the Christmas Hurdle as Lossiemouth and Constitution Hill prepare to battle it out in Surrey.

The race immediately afterwards is the King George VI Chase, which always draws a big crowd whilst Grade one action follows at Leopardstown and Newbury later in the week. One of the highlights of Welsh racing is the Welsh Grand National which takes place on the 27^th and you can get all of our prices and horse racing spread betting specials on the day.

DARTS – WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

The serious business gets underway at Alexandra Palace on Friday as the field of 96 arrowsmiths has been whittled down to 32. Luke Humphries and Luke Littler sailed through to the final, but fancied seeds Gary Anderson, Michael Smith, Rob Cross, Dave Chisnall, and Danny Noppert all crashed out in the second round.

Unsurprisingly, the two Lukes are the favourites with Littler priced at 11/10 and Humphries at 3/1 in our World Championship darts odds. At 11/2 could a resurgent Michael Van Gerwen claim another title at the Palace? He is the only other player at a single figure price with Gerwyn’s price 18/1 and Stephen Bunting available to back at 22/1.
