Thursday 26th December: Tottenham Hotspur v Albion, kick-off 12.30pm

Potter’s men begin an action-packed day of Boxing Day Premier League action with a match against Jose Mourinho’s Spurs side in a lunchtime kick-off in north London.

It’s Albion’s second trip to Tottenham’s brand-new stadium after Christian Eriksen’s late strike secured the hosts a 1-0 win back in April.

Saturday 28th December: Albion v Bournemouth, kick-off 12.30pm

Albion are back in action just two days later for the visit of Bournemouth to the Amex. Both sides are currently separated by just one point and one place in the Premier League table ahead of the Boxing day round of matches.

Last season’s fixture between the two sides was one to forget from an Albion perspective, with the Cherries securing a 5-0 victory at the Amex in April. The result completed a Premier League double for Bournemouth in 2018/19, after a 2-0 win the previous December.

But Albion were victorious in an Emirates FA Cup third round tie played between the two sides in January, as a goal each from Anthony Knockaert, Yves Bissouma and Florin Andone secured a 3-1 victory in Dorset.
