The Premier League Boxing Day Fixtures are one of the highlights of the season, with all teams playing over two days after Christmas, lets take a deeper look into the kits worn in these games.
You can find last week’s report here
The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

Two new Goalkeeper Kits seen this weekend:

- Manchester United – Black Adidas Trefoil Template
Kit Highlights
Manchester United have now worn 6 different Goalkeeper Kit looks this season, this includes 3 different Adidas Trefoil looks with their 3rd Kit.
Aston Villa were another team to wear a new goalkeeper kit, they used the yellow version of the current Adidas Template, their 4th different version and they have also each of these kits in the last 4 games!
West Ham United and Everton now have worn 6 Kit variations each, both joint 2nd Highest in Premier League so far this season!
Only four teams have worn the same kit in their last 2 games, Aston Villa Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Liverpool have worn their Home Kit in previous 2 outings!
My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Manchester City and Everton, contrasting socks is always a winner in my eyes, so both teams in this look makes this Kit Geek very happy!
