Coverage of the Championship match at King Power Stadium. The Baggies saw victory slip from their grasp when they conceded a 93rd minute own goal in the reverse fixture at The Hawthorns last September, as the Foxes escaped with a 1-1 draw, and both teams will be looking to improve in the second half of the season.

06/01/26 20:00-23:00

Coverage of the Premier League match at London Stadium.

Bournemouth AFC v Tottenham Hotspur (Premier League)

07/01/26 19:30-22:30

Coverage of the top-flight match at Vitality Stadium. An early goal from Evanilson was enough to give the Cherries a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture last August, and while the scorelines suggests it was a narrow victory, Andoni Iraola's side were dominant throughout and well worth the three points

Brentford v Sunderland (Premier League)

07/01/26 19:30-22:30

Erling Haaland put the Citizens 1-0 on his 100th top-flight appearance when the teams met in the reverse fixture last August, a lead which lasted until the 67th minute when James Milner equalised from the penalty spot, which was followed by Brajan Gruda coming off the bench to score an 89th-minute winner for the Seagulls

Burnley v Manchester United (Premier League)

07/01/26 20:15-23:15

Newcastle United v Leeds United (Premier League)

07/01/26 20:15-23:15
