The tradition of post-Christmas football in English top-flight dates back to 1888.
Over the years, the game has evolved significantly, but the essence of Boxing Day matches remains.
The 2024 Boxing Day fixtures were notably low-scoring compared to past years, with just 17 goals across ten Premier League games.
Despite the lack of goals, there were standout performances worth noting.
Kai Havertz’s performance for Arsenal against Ipswich showcased his versatility and importance in the absence of Bukayo Saka.
The German’s deeper position allowed him to influence the game with his flair and finesse, qualities crucial for Arsenal’s success.
