Arsenal lead again at Christmas Day, but history stands against their potential championship

Arsenal remains at the top of the English Premier League table after today's match against Liverpool. Following the game, experts discussed the Gunners' chances for the title but highlighted the team's weak performance in attack.

It's worth noting that Arsenal is leading the table at Christmas Day for the second year in a row. According to the statistical portal Opta, this has only happened twice in history before, back in the seasons of 1932 and 1933.

Interestingly, in the previous five instances when the Gunners led the table at Christmas Day, the team didn't manage to become the champion at the end of the season. Arsenal finished third once, second and fourth place twice each.

Last season serves as a recent example when Mikel Arteta's side fell behind Manchester City after the New Year and couldn't mount a strong challenge against the Citizens.
