With all due respect to the rest of the division, there are two fixtures that jump off the page in League Two and affect both sides of the division The table.
Walsall against Doncaster Rovers The team sits in third place, and with an unbeaten run in 11 league games, including four wins on the bounce, the Saddlers will be on pause for some time.
Nathan Lowe's 10 league goals have attracted many admiring glances towards the on-loan Stoke striker, worrying Walsall fans.
Given the form of the parent club, it would not be surprising if Lowe is recalled in January and thrust into a relegation battle from League One.
Doncaster ran out of breath in the playoffs last season after a record-setting run to get into the post-season cake battle.
Expected to step up this year, they are living up to their billing although just two wins from the past seven games has seen them falter of late.
Christmas Day will not be comfortable for those involved Carlisle United and Morecambe As the bottom two teams in the Premier League meet as they desperately try to avoid slipping through the trapdoor into the National League.
Usually you'll find managers trying to downplay the importance of an isolated match, but Carlisle boss Mike Williamson almost exaggerates it.
“You don't need to measure this game, it's huge,” Williamson said He told BBC Radio Cumbria.
The Cumbrians know the pain of relegation from the Premier League having experienced it back in 2004, while Morecambe are still only in their 18th season after winning the play-offs in 2007.
Festive cheer can be hard to find for the losers at Brunton Park, so we'd better wish everyone a Merry Christmas now!
