Liverpool's game against Manchester City highlights the Premier League fixtures over the New Year's period. The two title contenders meet at Anfield on New Year's Eve, both hoping to keep pace with leaders Chelsea.
It won't be easy, though, not when the Blues will be hosting Stoke City earlier in the day. Given Chelsea's current rampant form, including a club-record 12 straight wins in the league, the leaders have to be expected to pick up three more points.
Fourth-placed Arsenal will be keeping a close eye on these games before facing Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on January 1.
