Comments:

League position: 14th This was Crystal Palace’s 200th draw in the top division (played 739). This was the Eagles' third consecutive clean sheet in home games in the Premier League. All five of Roy Hodgson's games played on Boxing Day as a manager in the Premier League had now ended in goalless draws.

Comments:

League position: 17th Cardiff City remained without a win in their nine away games in this Premier League season (drawn two). After 19 games of this Premier League season, the Bluebirds remained as the only team yet to led a game at half-time in the division. City remained without a win in their last six league games played on Boxing Day since a 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace at Cardiff City Stadium in the League Championship in 2012.
