Episode Synopsis

Seasons Greetings from TFD Towers! Mike and Dave look into the pick of the festive fixtures, starting with Nuno Espirito Santo's first - impressive - win as Nottingham Forest boss. A 3-1 win at St James' Park is no mean feat, and Forest put Newcastle to the sword with a slick counter-attacking display. A hat-trick for Chris Wood sealed an incredible Boxing Day for the Tricky Trees.



Manchester United also produced an unlikely result, a 3-2 win over in-form Aston Villa at Old Trafford - after trailing 2-0 at half-time - was just what the beleaguered Red Devils needed - and winning goalscorer Rasmus Hojlund. Could this be the start of a revival?



And Bournemouth continue to impress, they're on the verge of the top 10 after another win, this time 3-0 over Fulham. Andoni Iraola's team look a completely different team to the start of the season.
