Liverpool's duel with hosts Leicester City will be the big hit between this season's two top teams on Boxing Day (Boxing Day). The Reds want to take the momentum from the Club World Cup title and ensure even clearer conditions in the title fight.

Due to Leicester's 1-3 defeat at Manchester City, Liverpool's lead over their first pursuer is still ten points. The Champions League winner also has the supplementary game against West Ham United in hand, so all the trump cards on the way to their first championship title since 1990 and their 19th overall are in their own hands. “The year 2019 was outstanding. But we still have a great desire to win even more trophies,” said defense chief Virgil van Dijk. In addition to the premier class and the Club World Cup, Liverpool also won the UEFA Super Cup.

The championship would be extremely important due to the long dry spell. Things went like clockwork for coach Jürgen Klopp's team there in 2019. There has been no defeat in 1 games since the 2-3 defeat at ManCity on January 34rd. There have only been five times without a win, including one draw in the current season with 16 wins.

Second-placed Leicester will be back in action at West Ham on Saturday, while Liverpool will only face Wolverhampton on Sunday. The next round will be completed again on January 1st and 2nd. So there's hardly any time to take a breather. This also applies to the remaining league teams like ManCity. The third-placed Citizens are eleven points behind first place before Friday's away game at Wolverhampton. On Sunday Sheffield United will be the opponents of the defending champions.

Manchester rivals United are looking for redemption after their defeat against Watford in their home game against Newcastle United on Thursday. The London beater Arsenal against Chelsea is also eagerly awaited on Sunday.
