Manchester City are the Premier League's biggest winners at Christmas after their title rivals failed to take full advantage of their Club World Cup hiatus, claims Ian Ladyman.
Speaking on the latest It's All Kicking Off podcast, Ladyman believes the lay of the land in the title race, after Liverpool and Arsenal took points off each other at Anfield, and Aston Villa stumbled to draw with Sheffield United, now favours City.
'I think Chris that Manchester City are the winners of Christmas so far and they haven't even played,' Ladyman told co-host Chris Sutton.
