The Premier League returns with a bang on Boxing Day with eight games to enjoy.
Keep checking back for regular updates.
Scorers:Â Bernardo 14; Ndiaye 36′
Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker and Ederson were notable absentees for the hosts as they sought to arrest a slump of nine defeats in their previous 12 games.
Bernardo Silva handed the hosts an early lead on 14 minutes by slipping the ball past Jordan Pickford after being threaded clear down the left-hand side.
Sean Dyche’s side hit back with a sublime strike from Iliman Ndiaye, who prodded a half-volley past Stefan Ortega when Abdoulaye Doucouré found him in the box.
The fallen champions appeared set to retake the lead after Vitalii Mykolenko conceded a penalty shortly after the half-time interval for a foul on Savinho.
But Jordan Pickford kept the Toffees in the contest with a low save from the spot to deny Erling Haaland, whose headed follow-up found the net in an offside position.
There’s another seven games to take in with Bournemouth hosting Crystal Palace, Chelsea taking on neighbours Fulham, Newcastle doing battle with Aston Villa and Southampton going head to head with West Ham.
Later, it’s a meeting of Portuguese managers as VÃtor Pereira’s Wolves take on Rúben Amorim’s Manchester United before Liverpool entertain Leicester City in the day’s final game.
