The Premier League’s rather odd winter break that isn’t actually a break draws to its close with a match between the always interesting Brighton and Gary O’Neil’s battling Wolves team. Just three points separate eighth from 11th as two clubs of the division’s middle classes try and stay close to the European positions and away from the stragglers.
Meanwhile, in the EFL, where there is no such thing as a rest, there’s a match of possibly greater consequence with a meeting of leaders Leicester and third-placed Ipswich. One team is playing fine football with the best funding in the division while the other is playing nice football with rather less funding. Ipswich need a win to climb into second spot, leapfrogging in-form Southampton.

important events
Brighton 0-0 Wolves: It's all Brighton, and Wolves are looking to take advantage of the speed of Neto and Nune on the counter. Neto was very good at the beginning of the season, so I hope his injury problems are resolved.
Brighton 0-0 Wolves: Gilmore and Gross support him, giving João Pedro an early chance. As they advance, they absolutely swarm over the enemy.
Brighton 0-0 Wolves: We win at the Amex and Brighton press high almost immediately. Gary O'Neill will have a plan. He always has a plan.
It was short but delicious This live blog stint. I turn you over to John Brewin. He has choked on five drinks and is ready to go again.
Before the Boxing Day meeting, Leicester and Ipswich have not crossed swords since February 2014. The Foxes won the game 3-0 with Jamie Vardy's opening goal. Ten years later, he's sitting on the bench tonight, a little thinner and grayer, but still a threat. It will be interesting to see if he will be on the pitch after just returning from a knee injury.
As John Brewin takes a well-deserved break from his Afcon live blog, I'm Will McGee and I'm going to start things off. First, Leicester forward Steffy Mavididi spoke to the club media about the importance of this match between the league leaders and their third-placed rivals.
“I'm looking forward to it, and the whole team is looking forward to it,” he said. “It's a big game. I've prepared well and I'm looking forward to getting going. It's obvious that what I've played recently will help. [in a 1-1 draw on Boxing Day] So you know what you need to do to get results. We have a game plan and we have to stick to it and see what we can do at the end of the game. ”

preamble
The Premier League's bizarre winter break, which isn't really a holiday, is drawing to a close with the always interesting game between Brighton and Gary O'Neill's hard-fought team Wolves. Only three points separate eighth and 11th place, as the two middle-class clubs in the region look to move closer to the European standings and move away from the losers.
Meanwhile, in the EFL, where there is no such thing as a day off, there is a match that could have an even bigger impact, with leaders Leicester facing third place Ipswich. One team is playing great football with the best money in the division, while the other team is playing great football with considerably less money. Ipswich need a win to leapfrog in-form Southampton into second place.
That means PL kick-off is at 7:45pm and EFL at 8pm. Please join us.
