BT Sport have announced that they will air 10 Premier League matches over the festive period.

High-profile clashes including Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford and Manchester City's encounter against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium are among the broadcaster's lineup.

Double headers will also be available during the Christmas period when West Ham United take on Arsenal on Boxing Day and Manchester City host Liverpool a few hours later.

"We're delighted with the first-pick games that we are serving up through December and the New Year, and BT Sport viewers will now reap the benefits of our Christmas Cracker top picks," said director Simon Green.

"We are continuing to deliver what we promised football fans – live matches between clubs involved in the title race, the type of matches previously never shown on any other channel than Sky."

Southampton's clash against Chelsea and Man United's home fixture with Tottenham will both be shown on BT Sport on New Year's Day.
