Gary Lineker introduces highlights from all the Boxing Day Premier League fixtures. Games include Stoke City v Manchester United, Aston Villa v Arsenal and Fulham v Tottenham.
Gary Lineker introduces highlights from a busy programme of Barclays Premier League fixtures. Boxing Day games are one of English football's most famous traditions and it's also one of the few occasions in the season when all the teams in the top flight play on the same day.
Stoke City were thumped 5-0 when they visited Old Trafford last month so will be hoping that Manchester United are suffering jet lag from their recent trip to Japan for the FIFA Club World Championship when the teams meet at the Britannia Stadium. Aston Villa will fancy their chances against Arsenal after breaking a long drought against the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium in November.
Fulham inflicted a first defeat on Harry Redknapp's Tottenham Hotspur last month - can they do the double over Spurs by winning at White Hart Lane? High-flying Chelsea host struggling West Bromwich Albion, while Bolton Wanderers travel to Anfield to meet Liverpool.
In the other games, Portsmouth face West Ham United at Fratton Park, Blackburn Rovers go to Sunderland, Newcastle United are at Wigan Athletic, Middlesbrough face Everton and Manchester City entertain Hull City.
