Comments:

League position: 20th . Following the sacking of Russell Martin, this was new manager Ivan Jurić’s first game in charge. He became the fourth manager to take charge of their first game in the Premier League on Boxing Day; previously Roberto Mancini at Manchester City in 2009, Mikel Arteta with Arsenal in 2019 and Julen Lopetegui at Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2022. . Southampton had now failed to score in four consecutive league games for first time since October 2018 in the Premier League. . The Saints remained without a win in their last eight games in the Premier League (lost six).

Comments:

League position: 13th . West Ham United had now won two of their last ten games played on Boxing Day (lost five). . The Hammers remained unbeaten in their last 21 games in the Premier League against a team starting the day at the bottom of the table (won 15). . Jarrod Bowen had now scored 100 league goals in the top four divisions (Hull City 52, West Ham United 48). . Lukasz Fabianski's replacement in the 36th minute was regarded as a concussion substitution, therefore allowing both teams the possibility to make six substitutions during the game. . Guido Rodríguez was shown a red card in the 53rd minute but was downgraded to a yellow card following a VAR review.
