The traditional slate of Boxing Day matches returns as the Premier League resumes action following the World Cup in Qatar.

Brentford and Tottenham kick things off in the early game, with Spurs looking to close the gap on the three teams above them on the table while the Bees aim to remain in the top 10. That match is following by four 3 p.m. local time kick-offs (10 a.m. ET), including Southampton vs. Brighton, Leicester City vs. Newcastle, Crystal Palace vs. Fulham and Everton vs. Wolves.

Aston Villa vs. Liverpool then take the spotlight at 5:30 p.m. local (12:30 p.m. ET), but the headline match is the London derby between league leaders Arsenal and West Ham at 8 p.m. (3 p.m ET) as the Gunners look to maintain their five-point cushion at the top.

There are a pair of games on December 27, starting with Chelsea vs. Bournemouth (5:30 p.m. GMT). Both teams struggled prior to the World Cup break, so a new start will be welcomed. Tuesday's late kick-off is an 8 p.m. GMT match between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest. It's the first Premier League match of the post-Cristiano Ronaldo era for United, who sit in fifth place.

Finally, Leeds United host Manchester City in the lone Wednesday game. The Sky Blues are chasing Arsenal and, depending on how the north London side's match on Monday goes, could narrow the gap with a result at Elland Road.

Here's the full schedule for Matchday 17 of the Premier League season, plus how to watch every game live.
