Football enthusiasts are gearing up for the much-anticipated Boxing Day tradition, a highlight for fans worldwide.
With Christmas falling on a Monday, supporters are in for a treat with a full round of fixtures across various leagues in the United Kingdom.
The excitement kicks off with the A23 Derby at Selhurst Park, featuring Crystal Palace and Brighton, followed by Aston Villa vs Sheffield United on Friday night.
The weekend promises an electrifying clash between West Ham and Manchester United in east London, while the spotlight intensifies with Liverpool facing Arsenal in a marquee matchup.
Adding a festive twist, the Premier League introduces a Christmas Eve fixture for the first time since 1995, featuring Chelsea's visit to Wolves. Notably, Manchester City's absence from this round, owing to their Club World Cup participation, adds a unique dynamic to the holiday football schedule.
While fans eagerly await the Boxing Day performance, the festive football spirit is sure to deliver memorable moments and keep supporters on the edge of their seats throughout the holiday season.
