How to watch Aston Villa vs Chelsea on Boxing Day live on TV and online
How to watch Aston Villa vs Chelsea: The Boxing Day Premier League fixture list has thinned, but this one’s on Sky so it’s practically guaranteed to go ahead. Here’s how to watch.
Isn’t a coincidence how the games that are live on Sky Sports are seemingly exempt from Covid postponement? Weird that isn’t it?

So, as it stands (and as it’s likely to stand) third-place Chelsea travel to Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa on the day after Christmas for what looks like a tasty tea-time clash. So it’s Turkey sandwiches all round and a bit of festive footy to round out Christmas weekend.
