Comments:

League position: 3rd Leicester City became the last team to draw a game in this Premier League season. The Foxes had now won one of the seven games they had played in the Premier League on Boxing Day since their promotion in 2014 (lost five). City had now won three of their last nine home games in the Premier League (lost five).

Comments:

League position: 4th Manchester United failed in their attempt to become the third team to win 11 consecutive away games in the top division after Chelsea in 2008 and Manchester City in 2017 (both in the Premier League). United became the first team to score two or more goals in 11 consecutive away games in the top division since they did so in 1959 in League Division One. Marcus Rashford became the 11th player to score 50 goals in the Premier League for the Red Devils.
