Calvert-Lewin played a pivotal role in Leeds’ revival during the festive period. The Yorkshire side, initially mired in the relegation zone and on the brink of parting ways with manager Daniel Farke, switched to a 3-5-2 formation, which proved transformative.

The striker thrived, scoring six goals in five appearances, including key strikes in victories over Chelsea and Crystal Palace, and draws against Liverpool, Brentford, and Sunderland.

This marks Calvert-Lewin’s first Player of the Month award since September 2020 and makes him the first Leeds player to receive the accolade since Rio Ferdinand in October 2001.

December 2025 Player of the Month Nominees:

• Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds United) WINNER
• Rayan Cherki (Manchester City)
• Hugo Ekitiké (Liverpool)
• Phil Foden (Manchester City)
• Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
• Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
• Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
• Harry Wilson (Fulham)

Meanwhile, Leeds missed out on the Manager of the Month award, which went to Unai Emery after a stellar month with Aston Villa. The Villans won five of six games, including victories over Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United, propelling them into the Premier League title conversation. Emery’s success comes amid a festive period of managerial upheaval, where several big names were dismissed from their posts.

Interestingly, a pattern has emerged with recent Manager of the Month winners: Ruben Amorim (October) and Enzo Maresca (November) both claimed the award but later lost their positions at Manchester United and Chelsea, respectively, after defeats to Emery’s Villa side.

December 2025 Manager of the Month Nominees:

• Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
• Unai Emery (Aston Villa) WINNER
• Daniel Farke (Leeds United)
• Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)

Emery’s recognition reflects a remarkable turnaround for Aston Villa and cements his reputation as one of the Premier League’s most influential tacticians this season.

While Villa have described the transfer as a deal for an undisclosed fee, Roma clarified that Malen has joined on a loan deal with an option to buy.

Reports indicate that the option could become an obligation valued at €25 million (£21.7m/$29m) at the end of the season, alongside a €2 million loan fee, effectively allowing Villa to recoup most of their outlay for the player.

Malen’s move comes just a year after his transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Villa. Despite scoring seven goals this season, he struggled to secure regular starts under Unai Emery, featuring in only five league starts across 21 appearances.

The 24-year-old forward now joins Roma as they aim to bolster their attacking options for the remainder of the Serie A campaign, hoping Malen can rediscover the form that made him a sought-after prospect across Europe.

As usual, the draw has delivered a familiar mix of giant clashes, tricky away trips, and classic cup narratives. Arsenal and Chelsea were both handed ties against Football League opposition, while Liverpool could be set for a heavyweight Premier League showdown with Brighton & Hove Albion, but only if they first navigate their third-round encounter with Barnsley on Monday night.

Arsenal had to dig deep themselves in the previous round, surviving a stern test from Championship side Portsmouth before sealing progression. Their reward is a meeting with Wigan Athletic, the 2013 FA Cup winners who know all too well how to spring surprises in this competition.

Chelsea, meanwhile, began life under Liam Rosenior in emphatic fashion with a commanding win over Charlton Athletic. Fate then added an interesting twist, pairing the Blues with Hull City, Rosenior’s former club.

The headline fairy tale from the third round belonged to Macclesfield. The sixth-tier side—only purchased off Rightmove in 2020, produced one of the shocks of the season by convincingly dumping out defending champions Crystal Palace. Their reward? Another crack at top-flight opposition, this time against Brentford, as their remarkable cup journey continues.

Not everyone enjoyed a smooth passage. Manchester United were among the biggest names to exit the competition, falling to Brighton in a bruising third-round defeat at Old Trafford. Brighton’s prize for that upset is a fourth-round tie against either Liverpool or Barnsley, setting up the possibility of another major scalp.

Elsewhere, there are several eye-catching fixtures across the draw, with Premier League sides facing stern tests and lower-league teams dreaming of another famous night.

So far this season, no player or coach has managed to win their respective awards twice, but that could change on the players’ side this month. On the managerial front, however, December is guaranteed to crown a fifth different winner.

December 2025 Premier League Player of the Month nominees

• Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds United)
• Rayan Cherki (Manchester City)
• Hugo Ekitiké (Liverpool)
• Phil Foden (Manchester City)
• Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
• Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
• Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
• Harry Wilson (Fulham)

Leeds United’s revival in December owes a lot to Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The striker found the net six times in five league games, helping Leeds climb out of the relegation zone. Victories over Chelsea and Crystal Palace, combined with draws against Liverpool, Brentford and Sunderland, highlighted a gritty and productive month.

A seriously stacked list of nominees 😳

— Premier League (@premierleague) January 8, 2026

Manchester City dominate the shortlist with three nominees. Rayan Cherki was a creative force, producing four assists and a goal as City stormed to five wins. Phil Foden delivered at the other end, scoring four goals and adding an assist to cap off a strong run of form.

Erling Haaland, who picked up the award back in September, is eyeing a second win after another ruthless month in front of goal. The Norwegian recorded five goals and three assists, underlining his status as one of the league’s most feared forwards.

Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitiké kept pace with Haaland, also scoring five goals. His strikes proved decisive against Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton, while he grabbed a brace in a high-scoring draw with Leeds.

Aston Villa are also well represented. Morgan Rogers ended December with four goals, while Ollie Watkins hit five during Villa’s impressive winning streak, which stretched to 11 matches before coming to an end against Arsenal.

Fulham winger Harry Wilson enjoyed a standout month as well. He chipped in with two important goals and four assists, playing a key role in pushing the Cottagers into the conversation for European qualification.

December 2025 Premier League Manager of the Month nominees

• Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
• Unai Emery (Aston Villa)
• Daniel Farke (Leeds United)
• Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)

Arsenal may be missing from the player shortlist, but Mikel Arteta remains in contention for managerial honours. Despite dealing with a defensive injury crisis, he guided the Gunners to five wins from six matches, strengthening their grip at the top of the table.

Arteta’s December campaign featured two clashes with Unai Emery’s Aston Villa. While honours were shared overall, Villa recorded a notable win against Arsenal and also defeated Chelsea and Manchester United, keeping themselves firmly in the title race.

Down at the other end of the table, Daniel Farke deserves recognition for Leeds United’s turnaround. The Yorkshire side went unbeaten throughout December, navigating tough fixtures against Chelsea and Liverpool. A tactical reshuffle proved effective, helping Leeds pull clear of immediate danger.

Pep Guardiola rounds off the shortlist after Manchester City closed out 2025 in perfect fashion, winning all five of their league games. With three City players nominated for Player of the Month, the Spaniard’s inclusion comes as little surprise.

The winners will be announced soon, but December’s nominations already paint a clear picture of a month packed with standout performances, tactical masterclasses and shifting momentum across the Premier League.

Holders Crystal Palace will begin their title defence with what looks like a fairytale clash, drawing non-league Macclesfield in a matchup that embodies everything magical about the competition.

Elsewhere, the draw delivered heavyweight meetings that will immediately test the resolve of some Premier League giants. Manchester United were handed a tricky home tie against Brighton & Hove Albion, a team that hasn’t exactly been shy in Manchester in recent seasons.

For Ruben Amorim and his men, it’s an opportunity to bury the sting of their shocking Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby Town, but Brighton’s growing confidence makes this anything but straightforward.

Over in north London, Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa stands out as one of the most eye-catching pairings of the round. Unai Emery’s Villa have been a thorn in the side of top teams, and a trip to face Spurs sets the stage for one of the round’s most tightly balanced encounters.

Some of England’s other big sides will be packing their bags for potentially awkward away days. Arsenal are off to Fratton Park for a gritty meeting with Championship side Portsmouth, a ground known for its old-school intensity. Chelsea, meanwhile, remain in the capital but still face a stern test as they cross London to take on Charlton Athletic.

At Anfield, Arne Slot’s under-pressure Liverpool have been paired with League One’s Barnsley, a team with a history of causing trouble for bigger clubs in this tournament. The champions of England, Manchester City, are set to welcome Exeter City to the Etihad, a tie that looks straightforward on paper but will still require focus.

Two all-Premier League battles add further spice to the mix. Everton face high-flying Sunderland at Goodison Park, while Newcastle United will host Bournemouth in what many are already calling the “Eddie Howe Derby.”

All fixtures are scheduled to take place across the weekend of January 9 to 12, when the country’s oldest cup competition once again delivers its unique blend of hope, heartbreak, and giant-killing potential.

Aston Villa’s Matty Cash was instrumental in his team’s October revival, producing match-winning moments at both ends of the pitch. His second goal of the season came in a statement win over Manchester City, following a decisive assist in the victory against Tottenham.

At Newcastle, Bruno Guimarães once again showed why he’s the heartbeat of Eddie Howe’s midfield. His long-range stunner against Nottingham Forest and a last-gasp winner versus Fulham ensured the Magpies’ steady climb up the table.

Erling Haaland, last month’s Player of the Month, continues to be a force of nature. Three goals in three games brought his total to 11 for the campaign — a figure that dwarfs his teammates’ combined tally. Few would bet against him doubling up on the award.

Over at Bournemouth, 19-year-old Junior Kroupi enjoyed a breakout month. The summer signing announced himself with a brace on his first Premier League start against Crystal Palace, then added another goal against Nottingham Forest to push the Cherries up to second place.

Manchester United’s Bryan Mbeumo has been a revelation under Ruben Amorim. With three goals and an assist, he led the Red Devils to a flawless October — their best run in months — and reignited belief among fans at Old Trafford.

For Nordi Mukiele, Sunderland’s surprise summer signing, October was about dominance and discipline. His defensive prowess was key to the Black Cats’ resilience, while his long throws caused chaos in opposing boxes — not to mention his crucial goal against Wolves.

Igor Thiago continued his hot streak for Brentford, adding two more goals to his tally and climbing to second in the Golden Boot race. His powerful display against West Ham and clinical penalty against Liverpool kept the Bees buzzing.

Finally, Jurriën Timber’s influence at Arsenal cannot be overstated. The Dutchman has reinvented himself as one of the league’s most consistent full-backs, anchoring a Gunners defence that didn’t concede a single goal all month — a record-breaking feat.

October 2025 Premier League Manager of the Month Nominees

• Ruben Amorim (Manchester United)
• Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
• Unai Emery (Aston Villa)
• Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth)

Manchester United’s new boss, Ruben Amorim, makes his first appearance on the shortlist after guiding his side to three straight wins over Sunderland, Liverpool, and Brighton. The Portuguese tactician seems to be settling in fast, blending energy, structure, and attacking flair.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta continues to mastermind Arsenal’s push for the title. The Gunners finished October unbeaten, boasting the tightest defence in the league and holding a four-point lead at the top of the table.

For Unai Emery, the turnaround at Aston Villa has been remarkable. After a shaky start to the season, his side produced a perfect month — taking down Burnley, Tottenham, and even champions Manchester City — to surge back into form.

And then there’s Andoni Iraola, the architect of Bournemouth’s fairytale rise. The Cherries ended October sitting second in the Premier League, with wins over Fulham and Forest, plus a gutsy draw against Crystal Palace.

The Premier League, in particular, witnessed several unexpected moves that left fans and pundits equally stunned.

As the 2025/26 season unfolds, clubs that were active in strengthening their squads over the summer are hoping their gambles pay off in the race for silverware and Champions League spots.

Here are five of the most surprising transfers of the summer.

Jadon Sancho – Manchester United ➝ Aston Villa

Perhaps the biggest curveball of the window was Jadon Sancho’s late switch to Aston Villa. For much of the summer, the England winger appeared destined to remain at Old Trafford, with links to Roma, Galatasaray, and others failing to materialize.

Then, on Deadline Day, Villa swooped in to secure his signature. The move ensures Sancho stays in the Premier League, giving him a fresh start and the chance to push for a spot in England’s squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Jadon Sancho from Manchester United.

Oleksandr Zinchenko – Arsenal ➝ Nottingham Forest (loan)

Few would have predicted Arsenal’s Zinchenko ending up at Nottingham Forest. With Riccardo Calafiori back from injury and firmly established in Mikel Arteta’s plans, Zinchenko found himself slipping down the pecking order.

In search of regular minutes, the Ukrainian full-back opted for a season-long loan to Nuno Espírito Santo’s Forest side, a move that surprised both fans and analysts given his importance to Arsenal in past campaigns.

Ben Chilwell – Chelsea ➝ Strasbourg

Another eyebrow-raising deal came from Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea announced Ben Chilwell’s permanent departure to French outfit Strasbourg.

The left-back had endured a difficult spell on loan at Crystal Palace last season and struggled to attract suitors in England. His decision to take on a fresh challenge in Ligue 1 marks a turning point in his career, and few saw this move coming.

Ben Chilwell has completed a permanent transfer to RC Strasbourg.

Thank you and good luck, Chilly.

Christantus Uche – Getafe ➝ Crystal Palace

One of the most under-the-radar but shocking Deadline Day deals involved Nigerian forward Christantus Uche. Hardly linked with a move throughout the summer, Uche suddenly emerged as a new signing for Crystal Palace.

Speaking after sealing the switch from Getafe, Uche said:

“This moment is unbelievable. I’m very lucky to be here today and this club is a big opportunity for me.”

The surprise addition is expected to bolster Palace’s attacking depth heading into the new campaign.

Christantus Uche, welcome to Palace ❤️💙

Randal Kolo Muani – PSG ➝ Tottenham Hotspur (loan)

Tottenham pulled off one of the most sensational Deadline Day coups by landing Randal Kolo Muani on loan from Paris Saint-Germain.

The French international was widely tipped to play a key role at PSG this season, but Spurs’ urgent need for firepower—after Heung-Min Son’s exit and James Maddison’s long-term injury—opened the door for this unlikely deal.

Handed the No. 39 shirt, Kolo Muani’s arrival alongside fellow PSG talent Xavi Simons added a dramatic twist to the final hours of the window and gave Spurs fans renewed hope.

• Jadon Sancho’s latest loan move! Man Utd misfit completes deadline day move to Aston Villa as Harvey Elliott also moves to the Midlands

Aston Villa have completed a season-long loan move for Jadon Sancho from Manchester United while also bringing in Harvey Elliott from Liverpool.

According to The Athletic, Villa will cover 80 percent of Sancho’s wages, though the agreement does not include a purchase option at the end of the season. The 25-year-old spent last term at Chelsea on loan and will now look to reignite his career under Unai Emery.

Elliott’s switch from Liverpool has been structured as a loan with an obligation to buy, dependent on certain performance-related conditions. The deal was made possible as Villa worked carefully within Financial Fair Play limits during the summer window.

Sancho is entering the final year of his United contract, though the club retain the option to extend it by 12 months. His arrival offers Emery another wide option, with the England international capable of playing on either flank. Despite inconsistent form at Old Trafford, Sancho’s pedigree at the highest level remains unquestioned.

— Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) September 1, 2025

Talks over his transfer had run in tandem with United’s interest in Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, and his addition—alongside Elliott—injects extra quality into a squad hoping to turn around a difficult start to the Premier League season.

Both players will now link up with their new teammates ahead of Villa’s upcoming league fixtures and European campaign, with Emery optimistic that Sancho can rediscover his best form and Elliott can continue his development at Villa Park.

Fans can now look forward to blockbuster clashes from the very first whistle, with the draw throwing up some heavyweight encounters across Europe.

Under UEFA’s new structure, each club will play eight matches against eight different opponents (four home, four away). The top eight finishers in the league phase qualify automatically for the Round of 16. Teams ranked 9th to 24th face each other in a two-legged playoff, while clubs finishing 25th and below are eliminated.

• No teams from the same country can meet in the league stage.
• Each side can face a maximum of two clubs from the same domestic league.

Clubs were split into four seeded pots, based on UEFA coefficients. Automated draw software ensured variety and balance, assigning eight opponents to each team.
