BBC Sport looks at what leaders Liverpool and bottom side Southampton can learn from previous Christmas Day tables.
Liverpool are top of the table at Christmas for the 21st time in English football history - more than anyone elseBBC Sport has a look.Exactly half the time - in 16 seasons out of 32 - the team top of the Premier League table on Christmas Day goes on to win the title.This is the seventh time the Reds have stood first on 25 December - but their only success since the top-flight's 1992 rebrand was in 2019-20.
Going back to the Premier League era, Arsenal led the table over Christmas for a fourth time last season - and, like the previous three occasions, failed to lift the trophy. On four occasions a team have been outside the top four at Christmas and won the title - including last season. Manchester City were fifth at the time - six points behind Arsenal, albeit with a game in hand, and finished champions for a fourth successive time.
Bournemouth, who sit fifth, could land a bonus Champions League place depending on how English teams fare in Europe this season.
