Premier League Matchweek 19 schedule, how to watch: Arsenal hosts Aston Villa
It’s time for the last set of Premier League action of 2025.Matchweek 19 could end the year with movement at the summit, as first-place Arsenal hosts third-place Aston Villa in the game of the week on Tuesday. The Gunners are three points ahead of the Villains, who keep defying the expected-goals statistics. In the reverse fixture to start January, Aston Villa upset Arsenal with the last kick of the game. The Gunners will have the star center-back duo of William Saliba and Gabriel available this time, though, while Villa will now be without Matty Cash and Boubacar Kamara due to yellow-card accumulation. Also on Tuesday, Chelsea will hope to get back in the win column after another disappointment last time out at home to Villa. The Blues host lowly Bournemouth, who are set to lose star forward Antoine Semenyo soon as Manchester City nears a deal on the Ghanaian, who has a release clause of 65 million sterling.Speaking of City, the Citizens will be on the road to face seventh-place Sunderland. The Black Cats have turned the Stadium of Light into a mini fortress in their first season back in England’s top flight, but are missing over seven key players due to the ongoing African Cup of Nations tournament. If Villa upsets Arsenal again, City could be leaders to open 2026.Elsewhere, Liverpool, who have risen to fourth place thanks to a three-game win streak, will look to keep the momentum going at home to Leeds United. The reverse fixture resulted in a 3-3 draw as Leeds stormed back at Elland Road. Leeds have not lost in their last five, so they’ll be hoping for at least another draw.Here’s everything to know to catch the next round of games on NBC’s platforms:MORE SOCCER COVERAGEFIFADec 9Infantino accused of breaching FIFA's ethics codes after Trump gets peace prizeWomen's World CupNov 2814 U.S. stadiums proposed among 20 possible sites for 2031 Women's World CupNWSLNov 11Atlanta lands NWSL expansion team, debut season planned for 2028When is Matchweek 19 of the Premier League?The 19th week of play will run midweek from Tuesday, Dec. 30 to Thursday, Jan. 1.Where to watch Premier League Matchweek 19 games on TV, onlineSome matches will be available to watch on TV via NBC and USA Network, while others will stream exclusively on Peacock and NBC.com.
