Want to ignore the Boxing Day hangover and keep the Christmas joy going? The easiest way to do that is to grab some top tips from us lot and keep the money rolling in!

Hull v Manchester United
Thursday 26th December 2013: 12.45pm

The first game of the day sees David Moyes’ men travel East to Hull. The home side have opened up the season exceedingly well, sitting 7 points above the relegation zone at Christmas, but find themselves facing a Manchester United side who could (and I stress could) just be hitting their stride, scoring six in their last two games.

As such, the away side are favourites for this tie. You can get a Manchester United win best priced at 3/5 from Ladbrokes. A draw is available at 16/5 with BetVictor and a Hull win is best priced at 11/2 with BetFred.

English duo to pull Reds through

In the last couple of weeks, Ashley Young has begun to resemble a person who plays football professionally, with two goals in his last two appearances. Moreover, his confidence seems to be back and backing him to score again this week looks tempting. First Goalscorer is available at a huge 10/1 with Ladbrokes, so whack a couple of quid on that!

Elsewhere, Wayne Rooney has been pulling the strings for Manchester United once again and is central to their attacking creativity. An Anytime Assist is available at 9/4 with Boylesports.

Manchester City v Liverpool
Thursday 26th December 2013: 5.30pm

So the Premier League leaders (that feels weird) are heading to the Etihad for the late kick off on Boxing Day. Everyone is aware of how formidable City are at home, and so the 4/5 for a Manchester City win at BetVictor does seem generous. A draw is available at 3/1 with Stan James and the Liverpool win is available at 7/2.

Boxing Day bust up

Boxing Day is notorious for being a card heavy day (who wouldn’t want the new year off work?). Combine this with one of the most card happy referees in the league in Lee Mason, a top of the table clash and Demichelis’ “why run when you can hack” mentality and the Over 4.5 cards looks rather tempting at 5/6, available at Bet365.

Negredo to step up

With Sergio Aguero still sidelined, it’s up to Alvaro Negredo to lead the line for City. The Spaniard was Jamie Carragher’s signing of the season on Monday, and is 4/1 with BetFred to open up the scoring. Though you can get slightly better odds at other places, the BetFred Double Delight/Hat Trick Heaven offer makes the 4/1 look incredibly tempting.
