Liverpool aims to strengthen its lead by hosting Newcastle, Manchester City to compensate Leicester City and Manchester United for confirmation at Hadersfield's presentation on Wednesday at the 19th stage of the English Premier League.

Liverpool was the main beneficiary of the last phase, with four points in the lead, taking advantage of the Manchester City champions defeat against Crystal Palace 2-3 and prompting Tottenham and Arsenal to place in the top four with entry of the intensive phase of the tournament (three stages between this week). Mid-range) with a 6-2 win over Everton and Burnley 3-1, taking advantage of Chelsea's home defeat against Leicester City. Liverpool appears to be a strong contender to continue his winning streak and bring to eight, given modest results and the fight for Newcastle's survival under former Spanish coach Rafael Benitez, who failed during his 2004 campaign -2004. The good news for Liverpool is that in eight of the last ten seasons, league leaders on Christmas Day were able to win the title at the end of the season. The bad news is that Liverpool is the team that has failed in the last 10 seasons to win the title after Christmas Day. The first conducted by Benitez during the 2008-2009 season under the title of Manchester United and the second under the impetus of Brendan Rodgers of Northern Ireland in 2013-2014 when he won the title in Manchester City, but his current coach, Jürgen Klopp, pointed out that he was trying to focus on the present, 18 step lossless does not guarantee in any way conquering the title.

It will not be the task of the players of the easy Spanish coach Josep Guardiola in Leicester City, who won a huge London victory over Chelsea's goal for his international goal Jamie Fardi, and of course that the confrontation between the two teams with all their weapons will be completely different from the previous one, especially by Manchester City claiming to earn three points Staying close to Liverpool and staying in second place, under the pressure of the big face of Tottenham III, two points from the net, and play at home against Bournemouth.

Chelsea are no different from Manchester City, hoping to recover from a surprise defeat by Leicester City, second in their last four games, when they face Watford VII in a relatively difficult match after restored his balance and won two consecutive victories.

In the remaining games, Fulham will play against Wolverhampton, Crystal Palace, Cardiff City, Burnley and Everton. The game ends Thursday with Southampton meeting West Ham.
