Christmas and Premier League football go together like turkey and stuffing.

There are plenty of crackers on offer and we have put together a festive XI to get you in the mood.

Goalkeeper: Saint Nick Pope

Nick Pope gets the nod after impressing with Newcastle.

The English ace is currently sidelined with a dislocated shoulder and will be a huge miss for Eddie Howe's side.

Right back: Sleigh-mus Coleman

Everton veteran Seamus Coleman is a long-term inclusion when it comes to festive XIs.

Once the heartbeat on Merseyside, the 35-year-old now plays more of a bit-part role but is still capable of performing at the top level when called upon.

Centre-back: Ben White Christmas

Ben White comes inside from the full-back role he usually occupies at Arsenal.

The former Brighton star fittingly sported hair reminiscent of the snowy Christmas mornings we all dream of in October.

Centre-back: Amari'i Jingle Bell

Luton's recent form has left the squad with praise ringing in their ears and Amari'i Bell has been a big part of the success.

The defender will be hoping he and his team-mates are laughing all the way to safety this season.

Left-back: Ben Chill-well

Ben Chilwell's poor luck with injuries has continued in 2023.

When fit, his delivery skills are on par with those of Father Christmas.

Right midfield: Phil Snow-den

Phil Foden has developed into a superb player

Phil Foden is one of England's brightest prospects having been developed under legendary boss Pep Guardiola.

At his best, he is capable of dragging a team to glory like a bunch of reindeer pulling a sleigh.

Central midfield: Pierre-Emile Ho Ho Hojbjerg

Midfield general Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been an influential figure at Tottenham since arriving in 2020.

He was knocked down the pecking order earlier this season but Spurs' injury problems mean he has a key role to play over the busy festive period.

Central midfield: Santa Berge

Sander Berge plays an instrumental role at the base of Burnley's midfield.

Like the humble sprout, he is the ingredient that lets his more illustrious peers shine.

Left midfield: Son Heung-Mince Pie

Tottenham and South Korea star Heung-Min Son slots in at left midfield and adds a touch of class to the team.

Thriving as Spurs' talisman since Harry Candy Kane's move to Germany, he will hope to bring festive cheer to their fans.

Striker: Gabriel Jesus

It is well known that Brazilians go nuts for Christmas.

So who better to stick up top in our XI than the biblically-named Arsenal striker?

Striker: Holly Watkins

Aston Villa fans probably did not expect to find a title challenge in their stockings this year.

But thanks to the efforts of Ollie Watkins and his team-mates, that is exactly where we find ourselves.
