Comments:

League position: 4th Everton failed in their attempt to win five consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2014. The Toffees had now lost 12 of their 17 games in the Premier League played on a New Year's Day, including the last four. This was the 400th league game that they had played in January (won 168, lost 124). [c/o Steve Johnson].

Comments:

League position: 10th This was West Ham United's first win in their last five games in the Premier League (lost one). Tomáš Soucek was now the Hammers' leading goalscorer in this Premier League season with five goals. This was the third time that they had scored the first Premier League goal of a year; also 1994 by Tim Breacker and 2016 by Michail Antonio. Łukasz Fabiański was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering an injury in the pre-match warm-up. Darren Randolph was promoted to the starting XI with David Martin taking his place on the bench.
