Hello everyone, its Boxing Day and many across the world are enjoying the holiday from the comfort of their homes, beaches, pubs among others.

As you enjoy the holiday, we also come your way with live updates of the Boxing Day fixtures of the English Premier League.

The first round of the 2018/2019 season comes to an end today with some interesting fixtures lined up and as usual we will bring you up to date with news from all the game.

The biggest fixture of the round is undoubtedly the game between former holders Leicester and reigning champions Manchester City at the King Power Stadium.

Pep Guardiola’s men are four points behind leaders Liverpool and are seeking a response to their shocking defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Leicester are swimming in confidence after pulling a remarkable 1-0 defeat over Chelsea. It should be a great game with both teams expected to play expansive and attacking football.

New Manchester United coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been talking big after his big victory over Cardiff last week but in Huddersfield they face a side that is determined to avoid the relegation drop.

Liverpool will be chasing their 26th win in 2018 when they come up against Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle.

Benitez says his side will need a miracle to escape relegation and victory today will be more than a miracle based on Liverpool’s current form.

All games will start at 15:00 GMT.

Unai Emery leads his injury-ravaged Arsenal team to Brighton and Hove Albion, hoping to win and continue their chase for Champions League football. The Arsenal game starts at 17:30 GMT.

The late kickoff is between Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea and in-form Watford at Stamford Bridge. 19:30 GMT is the time for that fixture.
