    Yep, it really is a premium champers kind of day. Not your two quid bottle of plonk.

    The top four sides in the Championship all play at 15:00 GMT, followed by fifth-placed Aston Villa against sixth-placed Sheffield United in the late kick off.

    At the bottom end of the table, Sunderland against Birmingham is a 'real six-pointer'. It's Christmas. Cliches are allowed today.

    Done all the Christmas shopping? Nope, me neither. The shops are still open late on Sunday right?

    Anyway, for the next few hours you can forget what colour slippers gran would like, and whether mum really needs another Michael Buble CD, because an action-packed afternoon of EFL football awaits.

    And it promises to be a festive cracker...
