| 0:00.0 | This holiday season, Amazon brings you an unmissable month of festive football. |
| 0:07.6 | What a fantastic night of football. |
| 0:10.8 | Including 10 Premier League games. |
| 0:13.9 | It doesn't get much better than that. |
| 0:17.2 | And Tuesday's UEFA Champions League must watch match. |
