Slow-ish start at Selhurst Park but Crystal Palace have a first opportunity to test West Ham keeper Roberto. The corner is stuck right on the Hammers stopper, and he just about deals with it.

A little scrappy at Stamford Bridge, neither the out-of-confidence Chelsea nor the beleaguered Southampton able to get their foot on the ball.

“Ladies and gentlemen please give a massive Goodison Park reception to our new manager Carlo Ancelotti.”

That is the signal for an absolutely deafening roar and a standing ovation from the home fans, who also produce the below banner of the Italian. Everton have not won a trophy in 24 and a half long years, but Ancelotti’s CV is bringing a lot of hope to these fans that good times are ahead for the Toffees.

A wave to the fans on all four sides of the stadium from the Italian and the Carlo Ancelotti era at Everton is under way.

Arsenal with all the possession in the early stages but a promising attack ends disappointingly as Bukayo Saka crosses into the box but there's no Gunners players in there.

Chris Wood holds off three blue shirts to win a free-kick and Carlo Ancelotti is already having a rant at the fourth official...

Burnley deliver it deep and Ben Mee nods back across goal towards Jay Rodriguez, but Yerry Mina turns it behind. Half a chance early on for Sean Dyche's side.

I think it’s a massive risk for Arsenal to take on Mikel Arteta as manager but he’s a likeable guy and at the moment, there’s no one else standing out, they might think ‘ok, let’s take more of risk on a younger manager and see where it gets us’, instead of shelling out loads and loads of money for someone who’s not going to change anything.

Carlo Ancelotti has only lost once in his first game in charge of a team in all competitions in his managerial career (W6 D2 L1), going unbeaten in his last seven such matches. That defeat came with Parma in 1996.

Can he get his Toffees tenure up and running with a win against Burnley?

The Boxing Day bonanza continues.

Five out of our six 15:00 GMT games are under way.

Sheffield United v Watford has been delayed by 10 minutes.

Huge cheer at Goodison Park as Carlo Ancelotti is introduced to the Toffees crowd.

The Italian struts out to applause, eyebrow raised, a wave of appreciation.

Crystal Palace are set to be without Christian Benteke for the next few weeks because of a muscle strain. Jordan Ayew gets the nod up top today. Benteke has scored one Premier League goal since the start of last season...

It would be great to be in a midfield with Mesut Ozil when he is on top of his game but we have seen a shadow of himself over the last couple of years, shall we say. Over the last few months he hasn't looked comfortable. It was interesting last week he wasn't in the squad because of injury but Freddie Ljungberg did say he wouldn't have played him anyway. When Mikel Arteta was announced and talking about clean slates, Ozil was one of the first players on social to welcome him home.

Chelsea have really good players but when they are going forwards they only seem to have one option. They seem to run out of ideas. They are young players which is probably why they have inconsistency. In three/four years time I expect them to be going for the title, that's how much I believe in those players.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho: "The spirit in the second half was so important. We did not start very well, we scored a beautiful goal which was offside and then they went on and scored. Brighton were very difficult to control. Our spirit was fantastic. We made some adjustments in the second half, we equalled their numbers in midfielder and that gave us more possession. It was hard until the end but very important.

"We cannot lose two in a row, the work rate was really brave. I told the boys to focus on this game and to give every last piece of energy we have. I think when you lost a game it hurts. If you are not hurt then you are not committed. You need to be emotionally strong. You need to recover quickly and that did not happen today. It was hard. Fantastic spirit by the players."

On Brighton: "I want to say that Brighton were good - tactically. They can adapt, they can change. They are very dangerous on set pieces."

Watford haven't just missed Troy Deeney on the pitch, they've also probably missed him at the training ground. He loves the club and with the standards he sets, if there are players shirking responsibility, then he'll let them know and drag them up. Deeney leads all the time, not only on the pitch but off the pitch also. He’s a massive plus point for Nigel Pearson.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Graham Potter, speaking to BBC Sport: "I thought it was quite an even game in terms of shots and chances. You would expect Tottenham to have a bit of pressure. We are disappointed to come away with nothing. Those fine little margins, little details we need to do better.

"I thought we had some good moments in the half and we contributed to a good first-half performance. The little details you need to go your way they didn't. We need to dust ourselves down and go again. We need to stick together, stick to what we are doing and move forward."

"It is the little things we have to carry on working with. The details in the game. No matter what you do it is not that easy to get the points in the Premier League.

"Really pleased with the guys. It was difficult for some of the guys, their first game for a while. I thought we contributed to a good game."
