The Premier League festive schedule is one of the best times of the season for fans as games come thick and fast, and it'll be no different this year.

Boxing Day football is a much-loved tradition in the top-flight, and there are some excellent fixtures to look forward to this Christmas.

Around Christmas, it is wall-to-wall top-flight football

Of course, talkSPORT will be right across the action throughout and we'll have live coverage of ALL TEN Gameweek 18 matches around Boxing Day.

There are a couple of huge games to look forward to this Christmas time and Liverpool's clash with Leicester looks an intriguing one.

The last time the two sides met on Boxing Day in 2019, Liverpool secured a 4-0 win to increase their lead in the Premier League standings to 13 points.

Another victory on December 26 for the Reds five years later would reaffirm top spot en route to winning the top-flight once again.

Trent Alexander-Arnold had one goal and two assists against Leicester and will be relishing the opportunity to delight this season.

If it is anything like that one, we are in for a treat.

As well as that encounter, there is Aston Villa vs Manchester City, Newcastle vs Villa, and Manchester United against the Toon.

Each Premier League team will play four times in the two-week period over the holidays.
