17:28 - 👋 THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

Well, what a day it turned out to be! Huge victories for Wolves and Cardiff in the Premier League - while Derby came from behind to beat Norwich 4-3 after a lengthy delay due to a floodlight breaking! We've had winners in the Premier League preview with the second-half bringing the most goals at the King Power alongside Mitrovic's goal for Fulham.

In the Sky Bet EFL, Charlton's poor discipline landed us a 4/1 winner resulting in a profitable day all round. Enjoy Liverpool v Arsenal in the late kick-off, it should be a belter, and I'll be back with our live blog on New Year's Day!

17:23 - ⚽️ SCORE UPDATE

Norwich 3-4 Derby

Norwich hit the bar in the final seconds. Derby clear and the full-time whistle goes! Oh my word! What a season this is turning out to be in the Sky Bet Championship!

Leeds remain top, as they were heading into the games today.

17:14 - ⚽️ SCORE UPDATE

Norwich 3-4 Derby - Jack Marriott

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT MINUTE WE'RE IN BUT (FRANK LAMPARD'S) DERBY HAVE TURNED IT AROUND! Florian Jozefzoon and Jack Marriott put (Frank Lampard's) Derby ahead!

Great news for Leeds fans!

17:10 - 📝 LIVERPOOL V ARSENAL TIPS

Right, onto the late kick-off where Liverpool have a huge opportunity to move nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table. George Pitts is backing the shots:

"Considering their roles within their respective teams, and their hunger in front of goal, the odds available on this looks too good to pass up. Salah appears to have found his shooting boots again of late and has attempted 12 shots in his last four games.

"He certainly knows where the goal is, so we are hoping he tests Bernd Leno and gets a couple on target here. Gabonese forward Aubameyang, meanwhile, has had 14 shots in his last four appearances, scoring three, and is just ahead of Salah in the Golden Boot race so he cannot take his foot off the gas."

Best bet: Mohamed Salah 2+ & Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 1+ shots on target at 13/8

17:05 - 📝 SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP TABLE

Leeds remain top and five points clear of third heading into 2019 despite defeat today. That is unless Norwich score two more in what is left of their game - which was delayed to floodlight failure.

17:01 - 📝 PREMIER LEAGUE TABLE

Ready for this one Liverpool fans? A victory over Arsenal in the late kick-off will put the Reds NINE points clear at the top!

16:58 - 🎉 WINNING TIP

16:28 - 🔎 IN-PLAY RECOMMENDATION

Leeds are 2-0 down at home to Hull and need a goal. They have come from behind to win against Aston Villa and Blackburn in recent weeks and need another miracle here.

Sky Bet have enhanced Leeds to 11/10 to score the next goal.

16:25 - 🔴 RED CARDS

It appears that a lot of players in the Sky Bet Championship have resorted to kicking each other.

We've seen red cards in the second-half for:

• Billy Jones - Rotherham
• Chris Basham - Sheffield United
• Jay Rodriguez - West Brom

16:23 - 🔎 IN-PLAY RECOMMENDATION

Ricardo Pereira has already had two shots on target from three shots in Leicester's clash with Cardiff.

He's clearly playing with some confidence, and Sky Bet have him at 5/1 to have 3+ shots on target in this one.

16:20 - 🐦 TWITTER WATCH

It's another record-breaking day at the Stadium of Light!

MY BALL! Simon Hooper looks to battle James Maddison and Aron Gunnarsson for possession...

15:53 - 🔎 IN-PLAY RECOMMENDATION

Son Heung-Min has been a real threat for Tottenham throughout the first 45 minutes. He has had four shots on goal, more than any other player on the pitch.

Sky Bet have enhanced him to 11/4 to score anytime in this one. The stats firmly favour the hosts and they'll back themselves to find the net again in the second-half.

15:51 - 📸 AS IT HAPPENED

Salomon Rondon puts Newcastle ahead against Watford. Rafa Benitez's men still have the lead at half-time.

15:49 - 6⃣ SUPER 6

Norwich 2-2 Derby - Mason Mount

Wow! (Frank Lampard's) Derby have pulled it back just before the break! We expected goals in this one and we have not been disappointed.

15:47 - 📝 ACCA UPDATE

Sunderland 1-1 Shrewsbury

Josh Maja levels things up at the Stadium of Light. All four games are draws at half-time, so not the worst position to be in currently.

15:40 - 🔎 IN-PLAY RECOMMENDATION

Over at the King Power - it's all Leicester in this first-half with four shots on target and two shots off. They are currently 5/6 to win this game which looks good value based on the current stats.

15:37 - 6⃣ SUPER 6

Norwich 2-1 Derby

Decent game at Carrow Road! Fikayo Tomori pulls one back for (Frank Lampard's) Derby.

15:36 - 📸 AS IT HAPPENED

Harry Kane gives Spurs the lead with a wonderful effort from distance. Son seems to be loving it!

15:34 - 📝 ACCA UPDATE

Sunderland 0-1 Shrewsbury

Great. Sunderland, who are unbeaten at home in the league this season, are losing.

15:32 - 6⃣ SUPER 6

Rafa Benitez's men are ahead thanks to Rondon's goal!

15:23 - 6⃣ SUPER 6

Tottenham 1-0 Wolves - Harry Kane

As we say that, the man recently given an MBE finds the net for Tottenham! Kane gives us the first Premier League goal of the day.

15:21 - 🐦 TWITTER WATCH

Yep, it's a quiet afternoon in the Premier League so far...

15:18 - 🔎 IN-PLAY RECOMMENDATION

It's still 0-0 at Elland Road, but we've seen four shots off target and three corners. It's a game that sounds like it is real end-to-end and Hull aren't afraid of taking the game to Leeds.

Over 3.5 goals is enhanced to 3/1 and may be worth considering.

15:09 - ⚽️ SCORE UPDATE

West Brom 0-1 Sheffield Wednesday

A few goals already going in early on. The biggest of the lot is probably for Sheffield Wednesday as they lead against West Brom, that's a huge boost for Norwich and Leeds if they can both get themselves into winning positions.

15:03 - ⚽️ SCORE UPDATE

Carlisle 0-1 Macclesfield

The first goal of the afternoon in England goes to...Macclesfield! Sol Campbell's men are winning again! Scott Tanser's goal for St. Johnstone against Dundee means that it really is a 'Great Scott!' start in the 3pm-ers.

15:00 - ⌚️ KICK-OFF!

14:47 - ⚽️ SCORE UPDATE

In case you missed it, Rangers have ended their six-and-a-half-year wait for an Old Firm derby victory as they beat Celtic 1-0 at Ibrox. Steven Gerrard's men were dominant throughout the contest and will probably be left wondering how they didn't find the net on multiple occasions. The most important thing is that they picked up the three points though!

14:45 - 📝 SKY BET EFL TIPS

Over to Birmingham v Brentford, where we're going for cards.

"Cards is where the value is in this game given Peter Bankes' appointment to this one, and my eye was caught on the huge 8/1 on offer for Kamohelo Mokotjo to go into the referee's book.

"The midfielder may have not been carded yet this season, but it is worth considering that he has only returned to the side in recent weeks following a seven-game absence from the starting XI.

"Brentford may not sit high in the disciplinary charts, but there were 12 cards shown in their win over Nottingham Forest when Bankes was in charge, five of which were given to them.

"In a game where Birmingham will be on the front foot, they could find themselves adding to their card tally for the season. Given Mokotjo's position in defensive midfield, there is every chance he could overstep the mark and get himself booked."

Best bet: Kamohelo Mokotjo to be shown a card at 8/1

14:40 - 📝 PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS

Next up, Leicester v Cardiff - where George is saying it's worth waiting for the goals in this one.

"With preference to again avoid the result, a good option to look at is the half with the most goals. Leicester are fourth in the second-half table this season, scoring 15, while Cardiff, bottom of the first-half standings, tend to show improvement after the interval. Backing the second half to have more goals at just above evens is worth considering."

Best bet: Half with the most goals - second at 28/25

14:26 - 📝 SKY BET EFL TIPS

Yes! Aden Flint starts for Middlesbrough. He's an 8/1 shout to score anytime in my Sky Bet EFL preview.

"The centre-back has carried an attacking threat throughout the season, despite only scoring once. Flint sits third for shots taken in this Middlesbrough side, beaten only by forwards Britt Assombalonga and Stewart Downing.

"We'd expect Boro to be on the front foot throughout this contest given the standard of the opposition. What that should also mean is that they will have plenty of set-piece opportunities, giving Flint chances to add to his tally.

"Set-pieces have also proved to be a real problem for Ipswich throughout the season. They have conceded more goals from set-piece situations away from home than any other sided in the division, third overall."

Best bet: Aden Flint to score anytime at 8/1

14:16 - 📝 PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS

Mitrovic starts for Fulham! A good start for George who has tipped him to score against Huddersfield.

"The eye-catching statistic from that clash is the fact Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic had eight shots without finding an opening. He got three on target, against a talented goalkeeper in Rui Patricio, in a dominant performance where he won 12 aerial battles and we know what a handful he can be. Backing him to score anytime at a best price of nearly 2/1 is a great option."

Best bet: Aleksandar Mitrovic to score anytime at 17/10

13:48 - 📝 PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS

Time to visit George Pitts' Premier League tips for this afternoon and he's looking at the corner market in Brighton v Everton. As George explains it:

"The preference though, is to go with a similar bet from Wednesday as the odds are so appealing. We backed Arsenal to take more corners than Brighton on a -1 handicap and backing Everton in the same market presents a best price of 8/5.

"Brighton have the second-worst record in the Premier League for corners taken this season with just 75 and they took only four against the Gunners. Everton, meanwhile, took seven in the win at Burnley and sit third in the corners table with 113 this season, bettered only by Man City and Liverpool."

Best bet: Everton to take more corners than Brighton on the -1 handicap at 8/5

13:37 - 📝 GOALSCORER TREBLE

We've got our usual Premier League goalscorer available today and it's enhanced to 14/1 with Sky Bet.

The three players we're going for are:

• Son has been in excellent form for Tottenham this season, scoring ten goals and assisting a further five. The forward has scored four goals in his last two Premier League outings.
• Mitrovic has been the main attacking threat for Fulham this season with seven goals and two assists. He will be looking to capitalise against a Huddersfield side who have conceded plenty away from home
• James Maddison has shown that he has had no issues with making the step-up to Premier League football. The Leicester man has five goals and three assists and will be wanting to add to his tally against a Cardiff side who have the second-worst Premier League away record.

There's one early kick-off today and that's the Old Firm derby in Scotland. Ryan Jack's effort has given Rangers a 1-0 lead at the break. It's fully deserved as Steven Gerrard's men have been on the front foot throughout the contest.
