Liverpool face a mammoth nine games in December, and surely that workload will be the only threat to lifting the Premier League trophy in May.

The fact they still need a positive result to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages will not help, meaning Jurgen Klopp can't rest as many players as he would want.

Saturday's home game against Brighton is still in November, but the first of 10 games in 30 days. We've seen clubs fold before under such expectations, but it seems Liverpool have mastered the art of winning in the last few minutes if that's what is required.

Brighton will not be the toughest task before the New Year, and should be the first win ticked off after their game at 7pm on Saturday.

Manchester City are one of three clubs in pursuit, and have nine points to make up. They start the ball rolling this weekend at 4.30pm on Saturday with a trip to Newcastle.

High flying Chelsea host struggling West Ham at 7pm, while the final game on Saturday is unlikely to empty the streets as Southampton face bottom club Watford.

Four games on Sunday start at 6pm with Norwich against Arsenal and Wolves at home to Sheffield United, while the 8.30pm kick-offs sees Leicester v Everton and Manchester United hosting Aston Villa.
