The Premier League teams who were top at Christmas and didn’t win the title

Despite having played one game less than their rivals, Liverpool have once again claimed the Premier League top spot at Christmas. The Reds have not lost a single league game all season and as we sit here on Christmas Day 2019, Liverpool have a ten-point lead over Leicester City, who they face tomorrow and an 11-point lead over Champions Manchester City.  Being top of the league at Christmas is familiar ground for the Reds but every time they’ve been in this position, the Merseysiders have failed to press home their advantage and win the title at the end of the season. They’re not alone in having that ‘honour’ though, with several other teams having failed to hold on to their festive spot at the top of the table until the end of the campaign We’ve taken a look at all of these teams. Liverpool will be hoping not to be added to this list of teams again this year!
