The Premier League provided plenty of early Christmas presents for fans and neutrals alike with a nine-goal thriller between Tottenham and Liverpool, Manchester City slumping to defeat and Bournemouth...
Capitulation in matches is a "running theme" at Leicester and they were guilty of "criminal" defending in their latest defeat, according to former Foxes winger Matt Piper. The Foxes suffered a damaging home defeat to relegation rivals Wolves on Sunday with all three goals scored against them in the first half. "It's damaging," Piper told the When You're Smiling podcast.
Luton Town's Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu says he "still has it in his locker" after his volley helped equalise in the 2-1 win over Derby County.
A point from their last visit to Goodison Park shows "progression" for Chelsea, says former Blues striker Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink. It is a ground Chelsea have struggled at recently, winning on just two of their previous 11 visits and being outplayed in a 2-0 defeat under Mauricio Pochettino last season. Enzo Maresca's team missed the opportunity to move top of the Premier League for a few hours before Liverpool's win over Tottenham later on Sunday, but extended their unbeaten run to 12 matches in all competitions.
