The festive period is one of the best times of the year for Premier League fans.
The games come thick and fast and it feels like there’s football on nearly every day leading up to the new year.
Boxing Day, in particular, is perhaps the most historic day of the football calendar and this year, Everton make the trip to the Etihad Stadium to take on reigning champions Manchester City.
Ahead of Thursday’s clash, Everton News have decided to take a trip down memory lane and look at their last five results on the 26th of December.
It’s important to note, that the Toffees don’t always play on Boxing Day, so it dates back to 2017.
