The managers of all 20 Premier League clubs will be enjoying their turkey dinner this year with half an eye on their upcoming fixtures and, beyond that, the January transfer window. Things have rarely been so congested at this stage of a Premier League season. Bournemouth in fifth and Manchester United in 13th are separated by just six points, while there's plenty to play for at the top and bottom of the table.
Liverpool sit four points clear of Chelsea at the top, with Arsenal two points further back. Two is the magic number in the relegation fight, too, with only a couple of points separating Leicester in 17th and Wolves on the other side of the dotted line.
As the 20 Premier League bosses go to bed on Christmas Eve, they'll hope Father Christmas, Pai Natal or Sinterklaas brings them something special. Here, Mirror Football takes a guess at what they might want to see under the tree. New hamstrings for Bukayo Saka.
Arsenal had just about shaken off the pain of losing Martin Odegaard for two months, going on a seven-game unbeaten league run after the Norwegian's return. It's never easy, though, and now they're going to be without Bukayo Saka for a month or more. Mikel Arteta has claimed he's working on some ideas to make up for the England star's absence. However, it would be much easier to just remove Saka's worrisome hamstring and magically replace it with a healthy one.
Magic eight-ball. Villa boss Emery has faced a real selection headache for much of the campaign. There's only one spot up front, with Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran both making a case to be the main man, and choosing the wrong one can be costly in a season where every point matters.
