For the third time in their history, Liverpool are sitting top of the Premier League table at Christmas and face Newcastle on Boxing Day as the season hits its halfway point.
Manchester City's shock home loss to Crystal Palace opened up a four-point gap and the reigning champions face Leicester City - fresh from beating Chelsea - at the same point.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have opened up their own gap in third and, also at 3pm on Boxing Day, host Bournemouth. Fulham entertain Wolves in the earlier game.
Arsenal are on the south coast to face Brighton in the early evening before Chelsea and Watford complete a busy Boxing Day schedule at Vicarage Road. Southampton host West Ham on December 27.
