Premier League fans are in for a treat over the next few weeks as the season hurtles through the hectic run of games during the festive period.
Demand for live streams on Premier League online platforms will go through the roof, with several intriguing fixtures on the agenda over the next few weeks.
With that in mind, we have pinpointed five Premier League games to watch over the holiday season, starting with a blockbuster encounter at Anfield.
Liverpool vs Manchester United – December 17
Liverpool head into this game with a one-point lead over Arsenal at the top of the table and they will be eager to boost their title bid by beating their bitter rivals.
Manchester United are sixth in the standings and in the midst of an inconsistent campaign, but it would be foolish to underestimate their chances of upsetting the odds.
United’s dismal 7-0 defeat at Liverpool in March is still fresh in the memory, which should give their players plenty of motivation to set the record straight here.
Liverpool vs Arsenal – December 23
With Manchester City involved in the Club World Cup, this game gives Liverpool and Arsenal the chance to put some distance between themselves and the reigning champions.
Jurgen Klopp’s side will fancy their chances given they are unbeaten at home this season, and it will take a big effort by the Gunners to end their record.
Arsenal failed to live up to expectations in their most recent outing at Aston Villa and can ill-afford to slip up against another title rival.
Manchester United vs Aston Villa – December 26
Man United have been a model of inconsistency this season, yet remain in with a chance of finishing in the top four at the end of the season.
A lack of goals and defensive frailties have scuppered their hopes of challenging for the title, but a victory over Villa would be a big boost to their confidence.
Villa’s recent victories over Man City and Arsenal marked them down as genuine title challengers and this is another chance to make a big statement.
Everton vs Manchester City – December 27
While Man City will be odds-on favourites with the bookmakers to win at Everton, it undoubtedly has the potential to be a banana skin for them.
Pep Guardiola’s side are scheduled to play in the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia, which could put a strain on their squad ahead of the trip to Goodison Park.
But for a ten-point deduction Everton would be in the top half of the table and they will be desperate to take something from this festive fixture.
Luton Town vs Chelsea – December 30
Chelsea remain one of the Premier League’s biggest underachievers, with their massive outlay on new players failing to deliver the desired results.
Their visit to Luton Town has the potential to end in embarrassment given that the Hatters have run Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City close in recent weeks.
Rob Edwards’ side are battling hard to survive in the Premier League and will see this game as an opportunity to end the year on a positive note.
