Gary Lineker introduces highlights from the day's seven Premier League matches, including Liverpool's eagerly-anticipated clash with Manchester City. The festive period is always crucial in the title race and the pair of contenders from the north west will be desperate to claim the three points at Anfield. The Reds won last year's encounter 3-0, just days after losing the League Cup final against the same opponents. Elsewhere, champions Leicester host West Ham, Manchester United welcome Middlesbrough to Old Trafford, Stoke travel to Chelsea, Burnley clash with Sunderland at Turf Moor, West Brom take on Southampton at St Mary's and Swansea face Bournemouth.
