  • Only two teams won four consecutive matches
  • Three of the established ‘Big Six’ sit 15th and below in the form table

“December in English football is the toughest month ever,” former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said on more than once occasion.

“Get through it and get results,” was the Premier League winner’s sage advice for the festive period, “then put your head up and go from there.”

The burst of fixtures on either side of Christmas Day has claimed countless early pace-setters over the years. Points dropped and players lost to injury. This year’s leading pack has impacte once again. With all three of Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea failing to record perfect records in this period.

As ever, some got through the festive fixture list more smoothly than others.

2024/25 Premier League table over the festive period

Only two clubs won all four of their Premier League games between mid-December and the first week of January; Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest.

Forest not only boast a faultless record, but they haven’t conceded a goal since 14 December. Nuno Espirito Santo’s imperious ทางเข้า ufabet outfit conclud a perfect Christmas spell with a thumping 3-0 win over his former employers Wolves on Monday night. That sweet triumph was also the 50th anniversary of Brian Clough’s appointment at the City Ground. Yet Forest’s current run of six consecutive top-flight wins in a single season was a feat even Nuno’s legendary predecessor never achieved.

Newcastle have only shipped one goal, romping past Ipswich Town, Aston Villa and Manchester United before coming from behind against Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend.
