5 things to look forward to this Christmas in European football

3. Boxing Day classic: Manchester City vs Liverpool

The Premier League has proved to be very competitive this season. With the 2nd, 3rd and 4th placed sides separated by a mere point, this game could prove to be the catalyst to the title chase for either one of them.

Liverpool sit comfortably in the second position, 5 points behind leaders Arsenal, whereas Manchester City find themselves in the third spot, one point off the Merseysiders. With both these sides scoring the most goals in the league this season, the clash could prove to be the most entertaining game of the season.

The game will also see Premier League’s most affluent strikers going head-to-head. Yes, you guessed it – Sergio Aguero and Luiz Suarez. Both South Americans have proved to be extremely lethal in front of the goal. With the Uruguayan scoring 15 already this season, the Argentinian is within the touching distance with 12.

The history suggests that the Boxing Day games prove to be critical, this one will be no exception.
