This is the busiest time of the year for these clubs, so managers will rotate their squads to rest certain players. Therefore, it may be a good idea to wait until starting lineups come out before heading to the window.

Premier League Notes

    • Leicester vs. Manchester United: A top-four showdown kicks off Boxing Day at King Power Stadium. Manchester United has won six of its last seven matches and is a perfect 6-0-0 on the road in Premier League play this season. Leicester has struggled against the Red Devils, as their last win against them came in 2014.
    • Arsenal vs. Chelsea: This year's London Derby features two teams heading in opposite directions. Just when you think Arsenal has reached rock bottom, they find a way to go even lower, as they are in 15th place and haven't won a Premier League match in almost two months. Chelsea is on the outside looking in at the top four and needs a victory to get back inside.
