Arsenal, left, are top of the Premier League while Wolves, right, are bottom
Arsenal will spend Christmas Day on top of the Premier League tree this year, while Wolves, Burnley and West Ham are hanging precariously on the bottom branches.
As we approach the halfway point of the season, what do the ghosts of Christmas past tell us about the title race and relegation battle?
The team that is top of the Premier League on Christmas Day has gone on to win the title in 17 of the previous 33 seasons – basically a flip of a chocolate coin.
However, Arsenal themselves have a much bleaker record as they've been top at Christmas four times before but have never gone on to lift the trophy.
