♔In the 14th minute, Manchester City take lead in unusual fashion as Bernardo Silva slides in and shoots. The ball deflects oddly off Jarrad Branthwaite, looping into the far corner for a bizarre finish.

🔯What a start for Manchester City. A step closer to their second win in the last 13 games? Well, It's not gonna be a goalless draw at least!

A dramatic moment at the Etihad!

🐭Vitalii Mykolenko’s reckless challenge on Savinho results in a penalty for Manchester City, much to Everton’s frustration. The rebound from the penalty is headed back into play, and Erling Haaland scores, but the offside flag goes up, sending the crowd into stunned silence.

🔯And Manchester City couldn't find a winner despite in the 90+6 minutes game. With all their efforts, City remain with only one win in their last 13 matches as Everton's defense held strong, securing a hard-fought 1-1 draw at the Etihad.

Manchester City face growing concerns about their future in the Premier League and their Champions League qualification.

ꦫAfter yet another winless game, Pep Guardiola's side is currently sitting outside the top four (sixth), four points behind Nottingham Forest in fourth place. With just one win in their last 13 matches, City have earned the fewest points of any Premier League team since the start of November, with only four points.

🌜Guardiola has expressed concerns that, if their form doesn't improve, they could miss out on a Champions League spot for next season.

🔥Eight minutes have passed, and Chelsea and Fulham remain locked in a goalless affair at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day. Chelsea, currently placed second in the Premier League, are aiming to close the gap on leaders Liverpool, while Fulham, sitting ninth, are looking to climb higher in the standings.

💛In the 16th minute, it’s no surprise that Cole Palmer scores!

🔯A brilliant goal it is. Palmer picks up the ball about 40 yards from goal, dribbles past them all and calmly slots it into the bottom corner from the edge of the box to give Chelsea lead.

𝔍Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace is underway at Vitality Stadium, with the match currently locked at 0-0.

ಞIn the early minutes, the visitors had the upper hand, with Crystal Palace dominating possession.

ಞHowever, the Bees responded with a promising attack in the 14th minute, where Kerkez's cross narrowly missed its target.

ಞNottingham Forest lead 1-0 over Tottenham at the break, thanks to Anthony Elanga’s 28th-minute goal set up by Morgan Gibbs-White. Spurs have struggled to break down Forest’s defense, with Brennan Johnson’s effort blocked and Forster making key saves.

ꦑTottenham has yet to seriously challenge goalkeeper Matz Sels. Forest's counter-attacks have been effective, leaving Spurs with an uphill task in the second half to equalize and ease pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou.

🏅Fulham equalize late to make it 1-1 against Chelsea!

𝕴In the 82nd minute, a well-worked team effort saw the ball cross into the box, followed by a series of headers, culminating in Harry Wilson finding the back of the net.

𒁃Fulham secured a historic and monumental 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, ending a 45-year winless streak at the Blues' home ground.

♍Harry Wilson's equalizer in the 82nd minute set the stage for a dramatic finale, with Fulham finding the decisive goal in the dying moments of the match from Rodrigo Muniz. This win not only marks a significant triumph in the West London derby but also underscores Fulham's resurgence on a high-stakes Boxing Day clash and one of their biggest victories in modern Premier League history.

🎀The half time is nearing and the deadlock is yet to be broken!

൩Wolves and Manchester United are locked in a tense goalless draw at Molineux, with both teams showing moments of promise.

♛Wolves, inspired by new boss Vitor Pereira, have tested United's defense with Semedo’s deflected shot and Strand Larsen’s header, both of which were dealt with by Onana.

ဣWhile United have controlled possession, they’ve struggled to break down a well-organized Wolves backline.

🐠Dalot’s curling effort was well saved by Sa, and Fernandes’ free-kick lacked the sting to trouble the keeper.
