Tottenham, Man Utd bounce back into top four race as Chelsea falter again

Manchester United and Tottenham bounced back on Boxing Day to take advantage of another shock home defeat for Chelsea, who lost 2-0 to Southampton, and close in on the Premier League's top four.

Mikel Arteta got off to an underwhelming start as Arsenal manager with a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, but Carlo Ancelotti had a more positive impact on his Everton bow as Dominic Calvert-Lewin's brilliant diving header earned a 1-0 win over Burnley.

Chelsea beat Tottenham in a big win for Frank Lampard over his former mentor Jose Mourinho on Sunday, but the gap between the two is back down to three points as Spurs came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Dele Alli.

United are four points off the Champions League places as they too overturned a poor start to thrash Newcastle 4-1 with Anthony Martial scoring twice.

The top two clash later when Leicester host Liverpool hoping to close the gap on the recently crowned world champions to seven points.

- No home comfort for Chelsea -
===============================
"We do not manage to pick up that final pass."
"The ball is cut back to him, comes to hit Kieran - rounds him so quickly and it's a kind of scoop over the goalkeeper - it's fantastic."
- Arteta's slow start -
=======================
"I think we had the chances in the second half to put the game in our favour, but in general in terms of attitude, desire and commitment, it was better than expected."
"The fact we didn't concede a goal was important. We didn't concede a shot, all the team did a good effort."
