Thursday 20 December 2018 14:50, UK
With Jesse Lingard and Robert Pires on Soccer AM and Mick McCarthy on Goals on Sunday, it's a big weekend of sport on Sky Sports.
Here's what you can expect across the Sky Sports channels this weekend, including all your favourite shows...
Live football on Sky Sports Premier League
Wolves vs Liverpool
Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, Friday from 7pm
Will Liverpool be this year's Christmas No 1? They can only guarantee it by picking up three points when they kick-off the weekend's action at Wolves on Friday night.
Live FNF
A slump for Nuno Espirito Santo's side looks to be over after three wins in a row, however, and they will prove a stern test in front of their own crowd at Molineux.
Arsenal vs Burnley
Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, Saturday from 11.30am
With two defeats on the spin including a north London humiliation by Spurs on Wednesday, it's not been a good week for Arsenal. On paper, this should be a banker home win - but Burnley proved stubborn against Spurs last weekend, only losing late on, and beat Brighton in their previous game.
Live Premier League
Arsenal need to win to keep pace with the top four, after such a bright start to the season, but arguably third-bottom Burnley need the points even more.
Everton vs Tottenham
Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, Sunday from 3.30pm
A real Christmas cracker sees us into Christmas at Goodison Park, with two teams who will both look to lead on the front foot going head to head.
Tottenham are flying after bouncing back from losing to Arsenal on December 2, and have won every domestic game since then - while Everton, without a win in four, are beginning to stutter.
Two disappointing home draws against Newcastle and Watford have dampened the Christmas cheer a little bit in the north west, but it will be flooding back if Marco Silva can outwit Mauricio Pochettino on Sunday.
Live Renault Super Sunday

Of course, there's all of your other favourites too - Soccer AM Pro-Am, a special You Know The Drill where Jimmy will take on Petrov, and more.
