Can Chelsea topple red-hot Villa? Can Man Utd function without Bruno?

Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Art De Roché and more bring you the final Totally Football Show before Christmas.

Man United and Newcastle contest the only Boxing Day fixture with the Red Devils having to do without the injured Bruno Fernandes.

The headline fixture of the weekend sees Aston Villa aiming for an 11th win in a row as they travel to Chelsea. Jacob Tanswell tells us about a seven day spell that could really cement Villa’s status as title-challengers.

Arsenal will look to take more points against Brighton than they did last season while Man City travel to the City Ground, where it all began for the Haalands in English football.

Elsewhere, there are fixtures between Sunderland & Leeds and Burnley & Everton with greater historical significance than you might realise.

Plus Maher Mezahi joins us from Morocco to recap the first two days of AFCON, filled with sensational overhead kicks and catastrophic back flips.
