It’s always the best time of the year.
Most people love Christmas, whether it be because of the food and drink, the movies on TV or the football coverage.
All of which are always in top form and this year will be no different after Sky announced the fixtures they will be showing for the month of December.
But there is one fixture that stands out, one that could give us a real indication of where the top teams really are this season as Manchester United face Manchester City on 10 December.
There is also the added bonus that Ireland get the advantage of exclusive three o’clock kick off games, in the United Kingdom games cannot be shown at that time.
Here is the full fixture list (three o’clock kick off in bold).
