There were four Premier League fixtures for each club over the festive period, but who won the most games, who scored the most goals and who tops the assists?

There are a few surprising inclusions in the top six of the form table, although one team did win all four of their Christmas games, while another failed to take any points.

The most goals scored by a team was 15 and the bottom club scored just one, while two players nabbed an impressive number of goals and assists. Read on to see who stood out...

The festive table

Manchester United caretaker-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came in just before the festive period and has had the best possible start - winning all four games with 12 points on the board, 14 goals scored and just three conceded.
