Its picked up a bit last 3 games but away form is not too hectic. Trips to Old Trafford, Highbury, Anfield, Goodison Park & St James Park to come as well.
Cardiff City 3-2 Manchester City
Stoke City 0-0 Manchester City
Aston Villa 3-2 Manchester City
West Ham 1-3 Manchester City
Chelsea 2-1 Manchester City
Sunderland 1-0 Manchester City
West Brom 2-3 Manchester City
Southampton 1-1 Manchester City
Fulham 2-4 Manchester City
Manchester City had to come from behind in the corresponding fixture at Maine Road last season to salvage a 2-2 draw. I’d give Liverpool a good chance of picking up a point on Boxing Day.
The teams who have not won the league in the Premier League era after being top on Christmas Day are:
Norwich 1992/93
Newcastle 1995/96
Liverpool 1996/97
Manchester United 1997/98
Aston Villa 1998/99
Leeds 1999/2000
Newcastle 2001/02
Arsenal 2002/03
Manchester United 2003/04
Arsenal 2007/08
Liverpool 2008/09
Significantly, only two teams who were top on Christmas Day in the last nine seasons have not won the league.
Based on that, Liverpool have a 78% chance of winning the league.
Rossiter is a great talent, running the u21s at 16. Important phase of his career and hopefully the club see him through it right. He’s coming for Stevie’s place.
