The Premier League’s Christmas schedule continues on Saturday with Leicester City looking to return to winning ways.
The Foxes had hoped to close the gap at the top of the table on Boxing Day but were instead hammered 4-0 by runaway leaders Liverpool.
Now Leicester look to bounce back on Saturday as they travel to West Ham United – who are just a point above the bottom-three.
Tottenham have the chance to move into the top-four as they face bottom-of-the-table Norwich.
The other two teams in the relegation zone, Watford and Aston Villa, clash at Vicarage Road in a archetypal six-pointer.
Manchester United are looking to continue their push towards the top-six as they face a trip across Lancashire to take on Burnley.
The day’s opening game sees a South Coast derby as Brighton host Bournemouth. Also on the coast, Southampton welcome Crystal Palace to St Mary’s.
Finally, Newcastle entertain Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton in the North East.
