Chris Kamara has reminded football fans of the Premier League game he will be reporting from on Boxing Day and linking up again with old pal Jeff Stelling to provide updates of the action.

'Kammy', as he is well known as, has not reported on matches since his long association with Soccer Special on Sky Sports came to an end after 24 years at the conclusion of the 2021/22 season, as well as roles on Soccer AM and Goals on Sunday.

Former Portsmouth, Brentford, Stoke and Leeds midfielder Kamara has taken a step back from commentary duties in recent years following the diagnosis of an underactive thyroid and speech apraxia, which affected his instantly recognisable voice.

The condition has very much slowed down his speech, but Kamara is still perfectly understandable and clear.

It was announced last week that Kamara will be picking up the microphone and looking down a camera lens once again on Boxing Day as he joins Amazon Prime's coverage of Premier League action that day.

The streaming service will be showing eight matches throughout the course of the day, beginning with the 12:30pm kick-off between Manchester City and Everton at the Etihad Stadium, and ending with Liverpool taking on Leicester City at Anfield from 8pm.

Kamara himself will be reporting on one of the day's 3pm games, of which there are five and fans can choose which fixture they want to watch.

Kamara will be at the City Ground to see Nottingham Forest take on Tottenham Hotspur, and he will be providing updates to old friend and former fellow Sky Sports colleague Stelling, who is anchoring the coverage.

It means Kamara - who also had spells in football management in charge of Bradford and Stoke before his presenting career - will have the chance once again to say his most recognisable catchphrases which fans fondly remember of 'unbelievable Jeff!'.

Taking to social media platform X, Kamara said: "For those of you who missed the news last week, I'm delighted to be joining Prime's Boxing Day coverage, which includes eight games and over 10 hours of action.

"I'll be at the City Ground for Forest v Spurs, reporting back to my old mate, the unbelievable Jeff Stelling, who will have every game and every goal.

"I'm so excited to be back and can't wait to be doing what I love most!"

Prime will also be streaming two games on December 27, which are Brighton & Hove Albion hosting Brentford, and Arsenal entertaining Ipswich Town at the Emirates Stadium.
