Mikel Arteta got off to an underwhelming start as Arsenal manager with a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth as Chelsea slumped to another shock home reverse, losing 2-0 to Southampton, on Boxing Day. Carlo Ancelotti had a more positive impact on his Everton bow as Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s brilliant diving header earned a 1-0 win over Burnley. The top two clash later when Leicester host Liverpool hoping to close the gap on the runaway league leaders to seven points. The Blues have now lost to West Ham, Bournemouth and the Saints in their last four home league games. Jordan Ayew then produced a sublime individual run and finish in the final minute to snatch victory for the Eagles.
