Comments:

League position: 14th AFC Bournemouth were now unbeaten in their last six Premier League games (won three). The Cherries had now lost one of their last nine games played on a Boxing Day (won five). This was their first goalless draw since their Championship contest with Blackburn Rovers on 28 February 2015.

Comments:

League position: 5th Crystal Palace had now conceded only seven goals in their away games in the Premier League in 2015-16; the joint fewest in the division along with Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City. Only Arsenal (38) had now gained points in Premier League away games in 2015 than Palace (36). The Eagles were now unbeaten in five Premier League games; their best such run since April 2014.
