The bookies posted their Boxing Day odds early.

Which gave the 4to1.com kick and run team something other than the TV listings to look over during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

However, our research was far from exhaustive with so many games threatened by the weather, that adversely impacted the fixture list last weekend.

The Saturday proceedings kick off at 12 noon London, with Nottingham - at odds of around even money (2.00) for their trip to Watford - looking like one of the “value” items for those that can awaken from their Christmas day slumber before midday.

Chelsea, who kick off 45 minutes later at Birmingham, are 1/2 (1.50) and will feature in a many of the “how can they lose” post Christmas accumulators.

Those that have followed recent proceedings will know that the second City boys are nine games unbeaten and the Blues are not in inspiring form at present.

Similarly priced to Roman’s brigade is Robert Mancini’s Manchester City –who hosts Stoke.

The 4to1.com team can already detect the sound of knives being sharpened by the press corps, who will be eager to make the first incisions, if the Italian does not register a win in his first match in charge since the sacking of Mark Hughes.

The Scottish lower league fixture list has been decimated but one of our games have survived.

Both our picks are freely available at better than even money (2.00) and both games kick off at 15.00 London (16.00).

We will have two singles, details of which are below.
