November 08, 2018
For football fans, there's no better time of the year than Christmas. They squeeze in as many games as they feasibly can, which means while we're gorging on turkey sandwiches and mince pies by our cosy realistic Christmas trees, barely a day goes by when we can't watch a match.
But who comes out on top of this infamously 'busy Christmas period'? It might not be who you think!
Based on data from the past six seasons and analysing results from games from the middle of December until the New Year, it turns out that Tottenham Hotspur are the highest points earners in the Premier League.
The Premier League table over that period may throw up a few surprises:
- Tottenham Hotspur - 74 points
