Manchester United are suddenly in the top four and they have a chance to reinforce that position by beating Leicester City on Boxing Day. We discuss that game and wonder which team will get on the front foot given the way both teams like to counter attack. Later, we preview the rest of the Premier League slate over the Boxing Day weekend including a lopsided London derby, a massive chance for Pep and City plus a matchup of Portuguese managers which holds massive implications for both.   

We also question if footballers are embracing their lifestyle enough after James Harden put the entire NBA season in jeopardy.
