The Premier League doesn't take a break over Christmas either - despite the dramatic corona situation on the island.

Munich - Boxing Day in the Premier League is actually the highlight of the season.

On Boxing Day, there is not only feasting and drinking on the island - but also kicking.

At least normally.

The corona virus thwarted the bill this year, so that three games had to be canceled entirely.

Including the game between Liverpool FC and Leeds United.

The corona shock for Jürgen Klopp!

On the other hand, the trainer of the Reds will be happy about the little break.

Liverpool was still active in the League Cup shortly before Christmas and has to play there between the years.

The German coach is the crazy burden of the current Covid numbers a bad thorn in the side.

Nevertheless, the league and its representatives decided early last week that Boxing Day would take place.

However, only six instead of the usual nine encounters will be able to take place due to corona.

We'll ticker for you the games between Manchester City and Leicester City at 4 p.m. and Chelsea FC's game at Aston Villa at 6.30 p.m.

The last game is also all about Corona, because some stars are infected in the Blues, including DFB star Timo Werner.

At Villa, coach Steven Gerrard was infected and is therefore absent from the dugout in the evening.
