Sunday football tips: Premier League fixtures take centre stage

The festive football calendar has hit been hit hard by postponements but there is still Premier League action on Boxing Day to help ease the Christmas hangover.

EFL matches have also been falling by the wayside but expert Dan Childs is on hand with top Football League acca tips.

Sunday's best accumulator bets

Bets to be placed by 3pm Sunday

Middlesbrough to beat Nottingham Forest

Huddersfield to beat Blackpool

MK Dons to beat Lincoln

Oldham to beat Scunthorpe

Two Championship matches represent decent value for acca backers. Nottingham Forest have been in fine form under Steve Cooper but a trip to Middlesbrough looks a tough test while Huddersfield should prove too strong for poor-travelling Blackpool.

MK Dons have promotion aspirations in League One and can push towards the top six by defeating Lincoln while Oldham look worth a punt against Scunthorpe when the League Two basement boys go head to head.
