An undefeated streak of 11 league games for manager Karl Robinson has led to reported attraction from managerless Championship club Brighton.

Two of the current sides within the League Two play-offs meet as Newport host Plymouth. Prior to losing on Saturday to third place Luton, Newport had gone on an impressive run of nine games without defeat scoring 18 times. How County bounce back from the defeat will be key, especially if they are to maintain the play-off position they currently hold. Plymouth have managed 10 goals in 5 games and currently have the best defence in the league. How Newport go about breaking down Argyle on Boxing Day could be crucial to this fixture.

First meets third in League Two, a game set to be one of the highlights on the Boxing Day agenda. Wycombe survived relegation to the Conference on the final day of last season, Luton were promoted this season to the Football League. It’s fair to say both have been teams to watch this season. This fixture is highly anticipated and could leave either side top the table come 17:00. The Hatters have found the net 16 times in 10 league games, Wycombe 22 goals in their last 10 league outings.
