Match Preview

Man United produced one of their best performances of the season on Boxing Day, as Erik ten Hag’s side bounced back to claim maximum points after being 2-0 behind against Aston Villa at the break. Alejandro Garnacho netted a brace, before Rasmus Hojlund broke his duck in the Premier League by netting the winner in the final 15 minutes at Old Trafford.

Nottingham Forest produced one of the biggest shocks on Boxing Day, as they landed maximum points on the road against Newcastle. Chris Wood was the hero in that fixture, as the striker netted a stunning hat-trick. It was a vital win for Forest, with the points meaning that there is now a two-point gap between themselves and the relegation places.
