Werner with Chelsea against Arsenal
Arsenal - Chelsea | 0-0:
Arsenal set off a small fireworks display in the first five minutes.
Unfortunately without a goal.
Now the blues are finally coming to calm the game down a bit.
But there is good fire in it!
Arsenal - Chelsea | 0-0:
Kick-off at the Emirates and a big chance for the Gunners!
After a cross from the right, youngster Martinelli comes to the left in the penalty area in a promising position, but the ball goes just under the right post.
A promising start in any case!

Let's hope that more goals will be scored in the London derby between Arsenal FC and Chelsea FC.

Update from December 26th, 5:54 p.m.:
The 4 p.m. games are over.
Fulham and Southampton split goalless at Graven Cottage.
In the other match, Aston Villa deservedly won 3-0 over Crystal Palace in height.
Fulham - Southampton | 0: 0:
The goal for Fulham almost fell, but Mitrovic's conclusion goes a few centimeters past the Saints' box in the second minute of stoppage time.

VAR drama in London
Fulham - Southampton | 0: 0:
Goal!
No!
But not!
Adams is nicely cleared by Long on the right wing and returns the ball to the center, where Walcott pushes the ball over the line.
However, when Long's pass, Adams was slightly offside and the VAR took the hit back.
Aston Villa - Crystal Palace | 3: 0:
TOOOOOOOR!
The decision in Birmingham.
Grealish served Watkins, who saw Anwar El Ghazi and he chased the ball into the mesh - 3: 0!
Fulham - Southampton | 0: 0:
15 minutes in London.
Will there still be a goal here today?
Somehow it's not really in the air ... and then it hits the Fulham box!
But Shane Long was offside.
Goal does not count - still 0-0.
Aston Villa - Crystal Palace | 2: 0:
TOOOOOOOOOR!
Now it hits the Palace gate a second time!
Courtney home increased to 2-0 in the 68th minute.
Aston Villa - Crystal Palace | 1-0:
While there was still no hit in London, the doorbell rang once in Villa Park.
However, there could have been more hits here, especially on the part of the hosts.
Maybe now in the second round?
Fulham - Southampton | 0: 0:
Very big chance for Fulham!
Cavaleiro is completely free after a cross from the left in the penalty area, but times his header rather streaky and puts the ball over the goal.
There would have been more in it.

What does the relegation thriller bring?
Fulham - Southampton | 0-0:
break in London!
Go to the cabin at Graven Cottage without a goal.
Except for Ward-Prowse's mega free kick, little has been going on here.
Let's hope for the second round!
Aston Villa - Crystal Palace | 1-0:
Villa presses the second goal here.
Will this succeed before the break?
You're already in stoppage time.
Fulham - Southampton | 0-0:
What an outstanding free kick from James Ward-Prowse!
The Southampton midfield star chases the ball from 17 meters to the crossbar, Che Adams then manages the feat of not accommodating the rebound from five meters in the goal.
James Ward-Prowse free-kick is an absolute cheat code
- SPORTbible (@sportbible) December 26, 2020
Fulham - Southampton | 0: 0:
In Graven Cottage, however, not much is happening yet.
Ralph Hasenhüttl's team, who ended his active career with FC Bayern II in 2004, is decisive for the game, but there are no real chances to score here in London after 20 minutes.
Aston Villa - Crystal Palace | 1: 0:
TOOOOOR!
On one side, Wilfried Zaha has the chance to put the guests in the lead - but then the doorbell rings on the other!
Bertrand Traore brings Aston Villa to an early 1-0 in the 5th minute!
Premier League NOW in the live ticker: Crazy start on Boxing Day!
What does the relegation thriller bring?
Update from December 26th, 3:53 p.m.: By the
way, there are curiosities to report from Wolverhampton.
The Wolves stars aren't even allowed to go shopping there.
"We have employees who shop for them and go to the supermarkets," said Wolves team manager Nuno Espirito Santo before his team's game against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The club must “avoid any kind of risk because we have a small squad.
We cannot afford to lose any player, we tell them every day: don't relax and try to be more careful. "
Update from December 26th, 3:45 p.m.:
In less than 15 minutes the games Fulham against Southampton and Aston Villa against Crystal Palace continue.
The start of the Boxing Day was already promising.
Let's hope that the 4pm games will be just as spectacular.
Premier League in the live ticker: Crazy start on Boxing Day!
ManUnited missed a spectacular win
Boxing Day starting with two great players, Cavani and Fernandes, combining.
And one great goal getter, Vardy, getting on the scoresheet
I love Christmas- football ...
Ps!
Don't need any foreigners coming to the UK and say it's too intense ... # tradition

Leicester City - ManUnited | 2: 2:
end!
Leicester and United share the points in a spectacular way.
Manchester took the lead twice, but in the end the Foxes always hit back immediately.
This ends the perfect away run for Manchester United.
Leicester City - ManUnited | 2: 2:
TOOOOOOOOOR!
No, United cannot!
Jamie Vardy is there, leveling for Leicester City in the 86th minute!
Incomprehensible!
Leicester City - ManUnited | 1: 2:
TOOOOOOOOOR!
Is that him, the Lucky Punch?
Substitute Edinson Cavani played the starting Bruno Fernandes wonderfully free, the Portuguese overcame Schmeichel and shot Manchester United 2-1 in the 79th minute!
Can the Red Devils keep the lead now?
Leicester City - ManUnited | 1: 1:
Should it remain a draw, Leicester will claim second place in the table for the time being.
Chelsea or Everton can become Liverpool's first pursuer later that evening.
But let's stay with the game for now because ManUnited is pushing for victory 20 minutes before the end.
Who succeeds in the lucky punch here?
Leicester City - ManUnited | 1: 1:
Really big chance for United - and that completely out of nowhere!
Leicester loses the ball in the build-up, Fred recognizes the situation immediately and puts it through to Rashford.
But the English international striker fails because of Kasper Schmeichel.
Shortly thereafter, Anthony Martial does better and scores at the supposed 2-1 for United.
But the Frenchman was sidelined during the pass - it remains a draw.
Leicester City - ManUnited | 1: 1:
Halftime in Leicester.
With 1: 1 it goes into the break.
A result that is completely okay.
United have problems building the game because the Foxes are pressing well.
Nevertheless, the Red Devils took the away lead for the first time this season, but this only lasted eight minutes.
Leicester City - ManUnited | 1: 1:
TOOOOOOOR!
Compensation!
Fernandes loses the ball lightly in the build-up, Ndidi serves Barnes, who bravely seeks the conclusion from 20 meters.
De Gea sees the ball late and then has no chance - 1: 1!
#MUFC can't win the league this season.
Stop the discussion - they were never going to.
What they can do is develop enough consistency to take into next season.
This is a young, maturing squad with a few problem areas.
Play well and buy smart & they can challenge next year.

Leicester City - ManUnited | 0: 1:
TOOOOOOOR!
The back line of the Foxes is asleep, Bruno Fernandes spits the ball to Marcus Rashford, who comes in the penalty area completely free to the ball and pushes casually flat into the right corner for the lead of the Red Devils - 1-0 United!
Leicester City - ManUnited | 0-0:
The first quarter of an hour at the King Power Stadium in Leicester is over.
The guests from Manchester had two chances, but otherwise not much has happened.
