Comments:

League position: 2nd With this win, Everton would be in the top four of the Premier League at Christmas for the first time since 2004-05 (3rd). This was the Toffees' first win in their last seven games in the Premier League played immediately before Christmas Day (lost four). They had now won all seven games so far in this Premier League season when they had led at half-time.

Comments:

League position: 15th With 14 points from four wins and two draws, Arsenal had now made their worst 14-game start to a league season since 1974-75 in League Division One (three wins and three draws). They had now won one of their last ten games in the Premier League, and lost four of the last five. Only Sheffield United and Burnley had now been in the lead in games for fewer minutes than the Gunners so far in this Premier League season (160 minutes).
