Your one-stop shop for all the best punts from our team of experts
The festive football action continues on Monday where Newcastle's Premier League clash with Manchester United is the pick of the TV action.
There's also a triple helping of EFL matches on the box - Sunderland visit Doncaster in League One before back-to-back Championship clashes as Derby host West Brom and Bournemouth head to QPR.
Today's best accumulator bets
Bets to be placed by 3pm
Derby or draw double chance v West Brom
Bournemouth to beat QPR
Manchester United to beat Newcastle
Anderlecht to beat Beerschot
Derby are in the grip of a financial crisis but the Rams are still fighting on the pitch, losing just twice at home this season, and can avoid defeat when they host West Brom, while Bournemouth have played well on the road in the Championship and can edge out QPR.
Manchester United should have too much quality for Newcastle at St James' Park and there is also European action from Belgium, where Anderlecht, who have won four of their last five, look too good for rock-bottom Beerschot. The fourfold pays 10-1 with Hills.

Bet of the day
Bournemouth draw no bet v QPR
Sky Sports Main Event & Football, 5.30pm
QPR have not played since December 5 and could be caught cold by Bournemouth. Scott Parker has a near-fully-fit squad to choose from and his Bournemouth side, who boast the best away record in the Championship, look decent value in the draw no bet market.

Specials bet of the day
Newcastle v Manchester United
No team has conceded more penalties than Newcastle in the Premier League this season and the Toon Army's haphazard defence could again struggle to handle Manchester United. The Red Devils, who can call on Cristiano Ronaldo should they be awarded a spot kick, look value to score a penalty at 3-1 with bet365.
Best bet
Manchester United to score a penalty
Stat of the day
Newcastle v Manchester United
