Premier League 26/12/2021. Three televised games today. Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace, West Ham v Southampton & Aston Villa v Chelsea.
Premier League 26/12/2021 – Tottenham v Crystal Palace
- With no further COVID-19 cases, Antonio Conte is without only Cristian Romero and Ryan Sessegnon for the Boxing Day welcome of Crystal Palace.
- Conte may revert to a 3-4-3 system here, with Lucas Moura and Son Heung-Min flanking Harry Kane.
- After impressing against Liverpool, Tanguy Ndombele, Harry Winks and Dele Alli all provide quality options in the middle of the park for the Italian.
- James McArthur will hope to recover in time for the Boxing Day trip to Tottenham, but Nathan Ferguson misses out.
- Joachim Andersen may return to the defence at the expense of James Tomkins.
- Will Hughes is set to continue in midfield, though Luka Milivojevic and Jeffrey Schlupp are also options for Patrick Vieira.

Premier League 26/12/2021 – Aston Villa v Chelsea
- Aston Villa are still bogged down by one or two positive COVID-19 cases but it’s unclear who is unavailable on that front.
- Ashley Young had a chance of returning against Burnley last weekend before the game was postponed so should be in good shape for Boxing Day.
- Romelu Lukaku and Callum Hudson-Odoi should make the matchday squad against Aston Villa in a boost for Thomas Tuchel. Andreas Christensen is also back in training.
- Jorginho and Trevoh Chalobah were both fit to feature in Chelsea’s Carabao Cup win over Brentford on Wednesday night.
- There are still question marks over Kai Havertz, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner and Ben Chilwell for the away side.

Premier League 26/12/2021 – Brighton v Brentford
- Danny Welbeck, Neal Maupay and Pascal Gross are all available for Brighton, but Graham Potter has revealed the club will have a couple of COVID-related absences.
- Yves Bissouma is suspended due to an accumulation of bookings, which is untimely given he will soon be departing for AFCON. Shane Duffy is back from his own ban.
- Joel Veltman was a major doubt to face Manchester United last weekend owing to fatigue but the game was postponed so he should be fine for this one.
- Brentford have problems at the back with Charlie Goode joining Zanka and Kristoffer Ajer on the sidelines, with first-choice goalkeeper David Raya a long-term absentee.
- Rico Henry is also a doubt but Brentford expect the full-back to recover from a hamstring injury in time to face Brighton.
- Ivan Toney returned from COVID-19 in midweek in a boost for Brentford, while Sergi Canos has served his suspension.
- Frank Onyeka and Shandon Baptiste are in competition for the final spot in central midfield for the away side.
