The Buildup, in association with Ladbrokes is our weekly look ahead to the weekend's sport, marking your card for another packed weekend of sporting action.
Former Ireland international and regular guest Kevin Doyle joins us to talk about the joys of Christmas football, how strikers deal with goal droughts and the Premier League weekend.
Mick and Mark also play Ladbrokes' 1-2-Free for the chance to win €100 cash.

As it's our final show before Christmas, the lads also give a breakdown of Christmas sport on TV, look ahead with some big predictions for 2020, and even perform a simulation on the next decade for Irish international football.
For this week's Big Shout, Mick has got some Christmas special selections.
If you have a Big Shout of 25/1 or over, send it to us, and you can win the grand prize of two cakes and a sports autobiography!
We also make our NFL picks for the weekend, with Mick back in the hotseat after a two week resignation.
