There's no early Premier League kick-off today - I know, what is going on? It's messed up the circuitry a little bit but we do have a Championship game to negate the loss.

Championship leaders Derby visit third-placed Middlesbrough in the division's early game (12:15 GMT).

Boro boss Aitor Karanka's side won the last meeting between the pair with a 1-0 victory at the Riverside Stadium in April and will be hoping for a repeat. But it's not going to be easy as the Rams have won four of their past five games.

BBC Radio 5 live

As has become the norm on a Saturday, we are teaming up with the Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live this morning.

We want to know how far is TOO far in supporting a team? Send in your stories about what you consider a step too far in the life of a supporter. These can be tales about miles travelled, times you put the match before major family events, your unfortunate football tattoo, refusing to speak to/employ/marry a rival supporter, fans who named their kids after the squad, painted their whole house red and much, much more.

Tell Danny, and us, by using #bbcfootball, external on Twitter or via text on 81111 if your story needs telling in more than 140 characters. You can listen to The Danny Baker Show by hitting the live coverage tab at the top of the page.

What have we got for you today? Well, I'll tell you what - the top two, this season's surprise package, a Midlands derby and a host of teams scrapping for the early Christmas present of vital points.

Premier League leaders Chelsea host Hull, champions Manchester City visit bottom-of-the-table Leicester, fourth-placed West Ham (yes, that's fourth) are at Sunderland, West Brom and Aston Villa come together a The Hawthorns, while there's also Burnley v Southampton and Crystal Palace v Stoke kicking off at 15:00 GMT.

There's not more is there - Oh yes there is!! Arsenal are at home to Newcastle in the 17:30 GMT game.

What sort of person are you when it comes to Christmas shopping?

1. Already done and dusted

2. It's under control and will be done with time to spare

3. Christmas Eve frenzier

4. Wait for the sales post-Christmas and delay giving your presents

If you're the first then that's impressive, if you're the second then well done, for the third it's a hearty good luck and for the latter, well, it's still early in the morning so let's just give you a 'cheeky'.

Whichever camp you fall into and wherever you are, we'll provide you with all the action from the gift that keeps on giving - the Premier League.
