It's no secret that December and the holiday season in the Premier League takes a tremendous toll on a club. As other leagues such as La Liga and the Bundesliga take a break right before Christmas, EPL teams push through and brace for at least six fixtures throughout the month. This does not include domestic or continental cup competitions such as the Carabao Cup or the Champions League. If you're a club like Liverpool, for example, the number jumps to nine matches as Jurgen Klopp's side is also involved in the Club World Cup - a tournament that kicks off a day after its quarterfinal fixture against Aston Villa in the aforementioned Carabao Cup.
