ottenham and Brentford have been handed an early start on Boxing Day as the Premier League confirmed new dates and TV times for the festive schedule.
The London derby in west London is the first top-flight game back after the World Cup, with Arsenal hosting West Ham in the late game.
Chelsea’s home game with Bournemouth has been pushed back to December 27, following by Manchester United hosting Nottingham Forest. All those games are on Amazon Prime.
