Comments:

League position: 20th Sheffield United remained without a win in their opening 15 games of this Premier League season. Only Queens Park Rangers in 2012-13 had taken longer to record their first win from the start of a season in the competition's history (17th game). The Blades had become the third team to remain without a win at Christmas in a season in the top division; also Burnley in 1889-90 and Bolton Wanderers in 1902-03, both in League Division One. Ten of United's 13 defeats so far in this Premier League season had now been by a single goal margin.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Everton had now won four or more consecutive games for the second time in the same league season for the first time since 1986-87 in League Division One. The Toffees remained unbeaten in their last eight away games in the Premier League played on a Boxing Day (won five). They had now taken 29 points from their 15 games so far in this Premier League season; 15 more points than at the same stage of the previous season when they were in 18th position.
