What To Watch – Boxing Day Edition

December 26, 2010 — by Suman2

Watch some Prem League heavyweights slug it out on Boxing Day

We’re a bit tardy getting up our weekend viewing guide–but there were no games in Europe yesterday because of Christmas.

There is, however, a full slate of Premier League fixtures today–plus a very big match tomorrow, with Chelsea going crosstown to play Arsenal. Not only that, there are more games in England on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Here are our picks for how to spend the next few days of your winter holidays (as usual, all times ET):

Sunday, Dec 26

Via Guardian Football’s Boxing Day clockwatch: “A very happy Boxing Day to everyone. Feeling a little drained? Eaten so much pudding that you can no longer fit into that T-shirt Father Christmas brought you? Remembering why you’ll be avoiding your relatives for the next 12 months? Then sneak off to the back room, pour yourself something warming and get set for an afternoon of festive footballing fun.”

Manchester United-Sunderland, 10am ESPND, FSC & Fox Deportes: Table-toppers Man U–remarkably still unbeaten in the Premier League–host up and coming Sunderland (now tied with Spurs for 5th!).  We’ve noted one player to watch–Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan, who grew up as a Man U fan in Ghana.

Aston Villa-Tottenham Hotspur, 12:30pm FSC & Fox Deportes: As noted above, Spurs are in a bit of a precarious position–tied for 5th in the table, 7 points behind Man U.  So they’ll need to keep winning to stay in contention…

There is also the big game Monday…more on that tomorrow!

Monday, Dec 27

Arsenal-Chelsea, 3pm ESPN2 & ESPN3.com:
