Comments:

League position: 16th Reigning champions Leicester City had now won one of their last nine Premier League games. The Foxes had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 Premier League games. City were now without a Boxing Day win in the Premier League since 1998 against Sheffield Wednesday (played seven, lost six).

Comments:

League position: 7th This was Everton first win in their last eight away games in the Premier League (lost six). The Toffees had now lost only two of their last 14 games against the reigning Premier League champion (won seven). They were now unbeaten in their last five Premier League away games played on Boxing Day (won three) since 2005.
