The Premier League season resumes on an action-packed Boxing Day.
The best thing about Christmas is arguably not the quality family time - nor the presents and luxurious food - but the compelling Boxing Day fixture list.
This year both Manchester City and Manchester United will be playing on Boxing Day with the hope of bagging a huge three points. City kick-off the action at 12:30pm when they host Sean Dyche's Everton at the Etihad Stadium.
City have won just one of their last 12 matches, across all competitions, and need a victory to move back to within touching distance of the top-four. Then at 5.30pm it will be the turn of United to join the festivities when they face lowly Wolves.
Wolves are languishing in the relegation zone, but enjoyed a big boost at the weekend with a 3-0 victory against Leicester City. As for Ruben Amorim, he will be expecting a big reaction after a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth.
Both halves of Manchester will be able to watch their side for free, if they sign-up to a 30-day trial with Amazon Prime. If you are not already an Amazon Prime customer, then you will be able to watch the Boxing Day action at no extra cost.
