Check out the best Prem Xmas stats! With the crazy Christmas schedule ready to kick off, the Premier League table is about to get well interesting! MATCH takes a look back at the Prem’s Xmas history books to see what the facts and stats from the last few years have to say... GOLDEN BOOT In the past 26 Premier League seasons, 15 players have been top of the goal charts on December 25 and at the end of the season! TOP OF THE TABLE Last Christmas, Man. City were already over ten points clear at the top of the Prem table, and over halfway to becoming the first club to bag 100 points! The last time Liverpool were top at Christmas was 2013-14 when they had 36 points, but this…

SERGIO AGUERO MAN. CITY HAIR DYE Kun is obviously open to trying new styles, so we’d get him some bright Man. City blue bleach! PAUL POGBA MAN. UNITED TRAINING LADDER Pogba loves taking tiny little steps when on penalty duty, so this training ladder would come in well handy! FABINHO LIVERPOOL PICK ‘N’ MIX So much bench time can’t be fun for Fabinho, so we’d cheer him up with a tub of Pick ‘N’ Mix! ALEX OXLADECHAMBERLAIN LIVERPOOL PLAYSTATION VR The Ox has been out all season, so he’s gonna get well rusty! This VR set will make him feel like he’s not missing out! DELE ALLI TOTTENHAM YOGA MAT Dele’s hand-to-eye celebration had us scratching our heads, so this yoga mat means he could practise even more bonkers body-shape…

WON HE HOW IT! MATCH scouts picked out the league’s four best players from November, and asked our fans on social media to vote for the best! The City star finished just above Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold! MEGA MOMENTS! Here’s why Sterling was chosen as MATCH’s monthly winner! STAT ATTACK! By the end of November, no PL star had more goals and assists combined than Sterling’s 13! SAINTS STUFFED! MAN. CITY 6-1 SOUTHAMPTON NOVEMBER 4 England boss Gareth Southgate was at this game, and he would’ve been over the moon with Sterling’s sick display! The England forward scored twice and also bagged two assists as his City side absolutely tore Southampton apart – and he was then rewarded with a mega five-year contract just days later! DERBY DELIGHT! MAN. CITY…

BEN FOSTER ★ WATFORD BEN SAYS: “I’ve started playing Fortnite with my son. He’s got loads of cool outfits and stuff like that, and I’ve got nothing, so I want some V-Bucks for Christmas, please!” DEANDRE YEDLIN ★ NEWCASTLE DEANDRE SAYS: “With all the games, I don’t get much chance to think about it! My family usually come from America to visit me for Christmas – that’s the best present!” JOHANN GUDMUNDSSON ★ BURNLEY JOHANN SAYS: “It’s tough to get presents for me, but this year I know what I want... I want a new TV, a big one! The one I have currently is okay, but I need a bigger one!” WILFRIED ZAHA ★ CRYSTAL PALACE WILFRIED SAYS: “I want a new dog, but I’ve already got dogs, so…

How did it feel to sign your first pro contract? From: carys_wolves WILF SAYS: “I was like, ‘My God, I’ve made it!’ It was a great feeling and it’s nice when all the hard work pays off. It’s like parents’ evening – you come in with your mum or dad and sit down with a coach, and while you’re there someone else will leave in tears. Luckily, I was happy with the answer I got!” What was it like when you scored your first goal? From: Tom W. WILF SAYS: “My first goal was against Leicester at home on my first start. It was a flick-on, I let it bounce over the defender’s head, then I volleyed it over the keeper. I remember it like it was yesterday! I didn’t…

MARCELO – UCL REAL MADRID ★ LB EA picked out some of the biggest names in Europe for a Champo League Rare squad, and there was only one choice for left-back. Marcelo is proper good at dribbling for a defender, and his stats for crossing and passing are class too! KYLIAN MBAPPE – IF PSG ★ RM As well as being FIFA 19’s best wonderkid, Mbappe’s also the joint-fastest player on the game, so you can see why he’s one of the most wanted players on FUT. His In-Form card from TOTW 4 is packed with pace and power! JOHAN CRUYFF ICON ★ CF None of this year’s new Icons got MATCH more excited than Cruyff. The Dutchman has sick stats – he’s a dribbler, finisher and playmaker rolled into…

HORRID HENDERSON! JORDAN SAYS: “Trent Alexander-Arnold is rubbish at FIFA 19, so I’d give him a voucher for some badly needed lessons. It’d get him two hours of training from me – he’d love it!” SORRY STONES! JOHN SAYS: “I’d get Kyle Walker a box, and inside it there would be even more boxes – just like those Russian dolls. Eventually he’d get to the final tiny box, and inside there would just be a piece of coal waiting for him!”…
