Watford head coach Javi Gracia has happy memories of playing Chelsea at home - he'll be hopeful that Boxing Day delivers another bumper victory over the Blues.

Something tells me it's unlikely to be 4-1 again this time round though, with Maurizio Sarri's side no doubt smarting from their defeat against Leicester on Saturday.

Sarri stopped short of cancelling Christmas following the defeat against the Foxes but he made perfectly clear where his priorities lie over the next few days - and it's not the turkey.

"I am interested in the 26th, not the 25th," the Italian said in his pre-match press conference. He means business.

No idea if Pep has had a free mince pie but he's already sitting in the dugout, familiar cardigan on. Looks a bit cold and a bit fed up actually.

Burnley goalkeeper Joe Hart has conceded 36 goals in his 18 league games this season – only in 2009-10 (42 in 36 games) and 2017-18 (39 in 19 games) has he conceded more in a single Premier League campaign.

Final Score starts on BBC Red Button (and on this page) from 14:30 GMT, landing on BBC One at 16:30 (except in Scotland).

At 15:00 GMT you can listen to updates from all the Premier League and EFL games on BBC Radio 5 live.

You can also listen to BBC Radio London commentary of Tottenham v Bournemouth and Crystal Palace v Cardiff on this page.

Chris Hughton will be irritated that Brighton have lost their last three and picked up another red card - Lewis Dunk's dismissal at Bournemouth was their third sending off in seven games.

The cushion that Brighton enjoy between them and the bottom four might look comforting, but you can bet that Hughton will not see it that way. Consistency has been his watchword and they must not let that slip away.

It's a squad game at this time of year, as Arsenal head coach Unai Emery is discovering with defenders Hector Bellerin, Shkodran Mustafi, Rob Holding, Laurent Koscielny, Sead Kolasinac and Sokratis Papastathopoulos all being forced to miss games recently.

With a trip to Anfield on Saturday, the Spaniard might be tempted to shuffle his pack again.

With an unwelcome topic for Tottenham fans dominating talk about the club recently, there's a much more agreeable subject up for debate following their demolition of Everton - and on current form Spurs surely do have to be considered title contenders.

While Mauricio Pochettino still sees Liverpool and Manchester City as "clear favourites", the festive fixtures give his side a chance to close in on at least one of them - although their demanding schedule will also make it difficult to maintain the "amazing energy" he was so delighted with on Sunday.

Eddie Howe has been tipped as a potential Pochettino successor, and with Bournemouth's much-needed win over Brighton moving the Cherries up to eighth, he says this is now a game "they can really attack".

Cardiff City

Cardiff have lost 17 of their last 20 away games in the Premier League (W1 D2), including each of the last six in a row. They’ve picked up just one point on their travels this season (W0 D1 L7) in the competition.

It's all over in London as Fulham are held by Wolves. Aleksandar Mitrovic almost won it for the hosts but Conor Coady somehow cleared his shot off the line.

Huddersfield are looking for their first away win against Manchester United since September 1930, when they won 6-0 in a top-flight clash. They’ve failed to win any of their last 15 trips in all competitions since then (D5 L10).

Wolves are level in the early kick-off as Romain Saiss taps in from one yard out after a possibly handball on the line from a Fulham player.

Three new faces in for Manchester United today, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer bringing Diogo Dalot, Fred and Juan Mata into his starting line-up.

Anthony Martial is ill, although the word is he could be back for the game against Bournemouth here on Sunday.

One other introduction though, the Solskjaer banner that was taken down three years ago.

Simon Gleave, head of sports analysis, Gracenote:

"After last weekend's results, Liverpool have become the favourites to win this season's Premier League. TheEuro Club Index, external rates the Reds' chance of lifting the title at around 52%. Manchester City still hold a 34% chance of winning the league but don't write off Tottenham Hotspur just yet (13% chance with a little over half the season remaining)"
