The premier league keeps on stringing up surprises with every passing day. As the matches glide past, it becomes clearer that the title would be a two-horse race down to the end. The reigning champions Manchester City would be expected to battle with Liverpool right to the end of the season. For Liverpool one of the mini-fights they would have to face is against Newcastle on the 26th of December.
There is no doubt that Liverpool has had a wonderful revelation this season. The premier league is almost at the half-way point and they are yet to lose any games this season.
