This Monday comes Boxing Day, the Christmas day of the Premier League. A day full of passion and tradition for English fans. In addition, in 2022-23 with Boxing Day the championship continues after the break for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where the English team was eliminated in the quarterfinals by France (1-2), defending the title and later runner-up after losing on penalties against Leo Messi’s Argentina.
When Boxing Day arrives (the first for Erling Haaland and where, as every year, a marathon of English football matches also begins), the king of the Premier is Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, who dream of claiming their first FA title since 2003-04. The ‘gunner’ team, leaders, have 5 points more than the 2nd, the defending champions, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

Along with the Spurs, two other Big Six are playing on that date: Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool, 6th on 15 points from top, do so at home to Unai Emery’s Aston Villa and leaders Arsenal host West Ham in a London derby. Two great games, starting with the Emery-Klopp duel.
however, Chelsea and Manchester United play on Tuesday 27: the ‘blues’ await Bournemouth and the ‘red devils’, Nottingham Forest. The champions, City, close on Boxing Day, in this case Wednesday, December 28, when they are due to visit Leeds.
