This weekend, the Premier League returns for another round of games on Boxing Day, as clubs across the country bring Christmas cheer to the football field. The Premier League has had a difficult month, and a few exciting results this week could breathe new life into English football.
The intrigue that is usually a feature of Boxing Day football, on the other hand, has been hampered by yet another round of Premier League cancellations.
Liverpool's game against Leeds has been canceled, and I can't believe they didn't try harder to keep it going.
There is no better time to play Leeds, and Liverpool could find themselves more than seven points behind Manchester City by the end of the season. The game between Wolves and Watford has also been postponed and rescheduled for a later date.
On Boxing Day, we still have eight Premier League games to look forward to, and they should provide us with some exciting football. Here are my picks for the games this weekend.
PREDICTION: Aston Villa 1-1 Chelsea
With so many unknowns regarding squad selection, this is a difficult match to predict. Nonetheless, we cannot ignore Villa's improvement under Gerrard and Chelsea's potential fatigue, which leads us to predict a low-scoring draw.
