Jurgen Klopp is the king of Christmas fixtures! Liverpool boss sets all-time Premier League record after leading Reds to victory over Burnley

Goals in either half from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota sent Liverpool to the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Burnley. As a result, according to Opta, Klopp is now six for six on Boxing Day fixtures - the outright most by a manager with a 100 percent win rate on this day in the Premier League's history.

After two straight draws with Manchester United and Arsenal at home, Liverpool returned to winning ways with the victory at Turf Moor. They are two points ahead of the second-placed Gunners, although Mikel Arteta's men could leapfrog the Reds if they beat West Ham on December 28.

On the flip side, according to Opta, Burnley are the first side in English top-flight history to lose as many as nine of their first 10 home games of a season. Vincent Kompany's side sit 19th in the table following their promotion from the Championship this summer.

Liverpool have played their last match of 2023 but kick off 2024 with a home clash against out of form Newcastle United on January 1, whereas lowly Burnley round off their year away to high-flying Aston Villa on December 31.
