It's cold outside but the Premier League season is really hotting up now. Well, unless you support Manchester United.
Yep, Ruben Amorim's arrival may have emboldened supporters into believing in a brighter future at Old Trafford, but Sunday's 3-0 loss to Bournemouth was dreadful and ensured they sit on Christmas day at their lowest point since the Premier League came into being. Sir Jim Ratcliffe's taking over of footballing affairs is certainly yet to bear fruit.
They have a chance to put that right on Boxing Day however, in an evening clash against Wolves, who got off to the perfect start under their own new Portuguese head coach, Vitor Pereira, with a 3-0 win at Leicester City on Sunday. Pereira replaced Gary O'Neil and is being tasked with leading Wolves away from the relegation zone and now he'll take charge at Molineux for the first time believing a vulnerable United are there for the taking.
The match kicks off at 5:30pm, one of EIGHT Premier League games being shown on Amazon Prime throughout a bumper day of football - which can potentially be enjoyed for FREE from the comfort of your own home.
Among the action, Pep Guardiola's struggling Manchester City side host Everton in the day's earliest kickoff, at 1230pm, while there are five 3pm games, including Newcastle's meeting with Aston Villa at St James's Park and high-flying Nottingham Forest against Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham. After Wolves-United there'll still be one more game left on Thursday night, with league leaders Liverpool hosting Leicester at Anfield in an 8pm showdown.
Amazon Prime are showing all eight games today and you can watch for FREE simply by signing up for a 30-day free trial, which can then be cancelled before the monthly fee of £8.99 (or £95 annually) is activated.
And that's not all for the festive Amazon fixtures. On Friday there will be two more games being shown live, with Brentford's trip to Brighton and Arsenal playing host to Ipswich at the Emirates both being shown in the evening.
That encounter will bring to an end Amazon's fixtures for this season - and beyond. They've shown their other round of matches earlier this month, and won't be showing games next season, after not winning any of the available packages to show Premier League action in the next TV deal which begins in 2025.
