English Premier League Poll: What Is the Best Boxing Day Matchup?

There are seven games set to play on Monday December 26th. The day after Christmas, known as Boxing Day, is traditionally a day packed full of great sporting action and fanfare as the EPL clubs look to near the end of the season's first half.

This season is like any other as teams are currently preparing for the holiday and then a game the following afternoon. With so many great matches to choose from, which will you end up watching?

Luckily for you, the rundown for each match follows.

Chelsea vs. Fulham - London Derby 8 a.m. EST

Chelsea have had two straight draws while the play of Fulham has been riding on the form of Clint Dempsey from match to match in the last few weeks. London Derbies are always fun, though.

Bolton Wanderers vs. Newcastle United - 10 a.m. EST

Bolton managed a win over Blackburn Rovers in midweek while Newcastle once again fell. The Magpies will hope they are not the next to fail against Bolton.

Liverpool vs. Blackburn Rovers - 10 a.m. EST

Liverpool were held by a resilient Wigan Athletic side that had just managed a draw against Chelsea three days prior. The Reds need to get another victory, so Blackburn Rovers is coming to Anfield just in time.

Kenny Dalglish will hope to take three points against the only club he has led to a title in the Premier League era, since all of his previous titles with Liverpool were in the old English First Division.

Manchester United vs. Wigan Athletic - 10 a.m. EST

Wigan have been on top of their game after drawing against both Chelsea and Liverpool at home. However, the Red Devils are on form as well and the match is at Old Trafford not the DW Stadium.

Sunderland vs. Everton - 10 a.m. EST

Sunderland were impressive to show the resilience to come back and win at QPR after having had a two goal lead cup to level terms. Everton also won in midweek and this result could prove huge to both sides.

West Bromwich Albion vs. Manchester City - 10 a.m. EST

Much like many of the other lower midtable clubs, West Brom has been experiencing a good run of form as has Peter Odemwingie who was the third top scorer last season. Manchester City will have no qualms about taking the attack to WBA and should have this one.

Stoke City vs. Aston Villa - 2:45 p.m. EST

Stoke had won four in a row before City stopped them dead in their tracks at the Etihad Stadium. This weekend they should be able to steal some points from Aston Villa, as their attack is still weakened.

With all of that quick knowledge you should now be able to make a pick as to which game you think will be the most interesting this coming weekend.
