Despite a 2-0 defeat at Wolves on Boxing Day in 2025, it's unsurprising to learn that record 13-time Premier League champions Manchester United have accrued the most points on Boxing Day in the history of the top flight, with an an average of 2.41 points per match.

The Red Devils have played out a number of Boxing Day classics over the years, including a 4-3 win over Newcastle in a seven-goal thriller at Old Trafford in 2012 before another pulsating 3-2 win away at Hull a year later.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham make up the rest of the top four in this all-time Premier League Boxing Day table, with Blackburn Rovers as high as sixth despite having last participated in the top flight back in the 2011/12 season.

Premier League Boxing Day top goalscorers:

After swapping Tottenham for Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023, England captain Harry Kane will be unable to build on his sensational Boxing Day record in the Premier League - with the 30-year-old notching a staggering 10 goals in seven matches on this date.

Kane's 65th minute effort away at Brentford in 2022 was enough to see him out in front as the Premier League's all-time leading Boxing Day scorer, and continue his perfect record of having scored in every top flight match he has participated in for Spurs on this date.

Trailing Kane by one goal in this table is Liverpool icon Robbie Fowler on nine, with seven of these goals arriving away from Anfield.

Incidentally, seven of this top 10 list of Boxing Day goalscorers make up the top 10 Premier League goalscorers of all time, highlighting that the competition's finest ever marksmen did not tend to let up in their quest to hit the back of the net even during the festive season.

Premier League Boxing Day most assists:

A total of four players are joint-level with the most Premier League assists on Boxing Day on five - Michael Carrick, Paolo Di Canio, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov.

Southampton full-back Kyle Walker-Peters is eye-catchingly only one assist behind this quartet on four, with the Englishman memorably recording a hat-trick of assists for former club Tottenham in a 5-0 win over Bournemouth on Boxing Day in 2018.

Martin Odegaard's stats on this date for Arsenal also stand out, with the Norwegian having recorded four assists in just two Premier League appearances for the Gunners on Boxing Day.

Premier League Boxing day most appearances:

Not only is Gareth Barry the Premier League's all-time appearance maker on 652, he also tops the standings for matches played on Boxing Day in England's top flight on 18.

Chelsea icon Frank Lampard, fourth on the all-time Premier League appearances list on 609, trails Barry in second place for Boxing Day appearances by just one on 17.

Man Utd legend Ryan Giggs and the evergreen James Milner are two other players to make up the top 10 of both of these lists, with the latter still plying his trade at Brighton.

The remaining Premier League stalwarts included in this top 10 list of Boxing Day appearance makers are Michael Carrick, Aaron Hughes, Sol Campbell and Steven Gerrard.
