The English Premier League winds its way towards the busy December period with the pressure mounting on several under-fire coaches across the country.

Nothing of the sort at the EPL summit, though, with runaway leaders Liverpool head and shoulders above the battle below.

Jurgen Klopp’s side start the weekend eight points clear of the rest after recording a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace last weekend to make it four victories on the spin.

The Reds are unbeaten in the Premier League and have dropped just two points so far this term, with Brighton the next to try their luck at Anfield this Saturday. Graham Potter’s Seagulls are going well enough in mid-table but have suffered back-to-back defeats, including last weekend against second-placed Leicester.

The Foxes are emerging as Liverpool’s chief pursuers, winning five on the bounce and conceding just once since their unlucky defeat at Anfield at the start of October.

Brendan Rodgers’ men have three more points in their sights on Sunday when they host struggling Everton at the King Power Stadium.

The Toffees’ campaign is in stark contrast to their Merseyside neighbours, with one win in four leaving boss Marco Silva fighting for his job ahead of a punishing trip to the East Midlands.

Reigning champions Manchester City can close the gap to their north west rivals when they kick off the EPL weekend on Saturday lunchtime at Newcastle.

Pep Guardiola’s side came from behind to see off high-flying Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium last time out, keeping them in third place and nine points adrift of the leaders.

Newcastle were well beaten by Aston Villa on Monday night, as Toon chief Steve Bruce endured an unhappy return to his former club.

Chelsea are also in Saturday action and have the chance to hit back against London rivals West Ham, as coach Frank Lampard also goes up against his ex-employers.

The Blues will kick off in fourth, while Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini is another embattled coach following a first half surrender to capital city foe Tottenham last weekend.

Spurs continue life under Jose Mourinho at home to Bournemouth on Saturday, with Eddie Howe’s men losing their last two to slip behind last season’s Champions League runners-up in the EPL table.

Manchester United return to the comforts of Old Trafford on Sunday following a chastening trip across the Pennines.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side overturned a two-goal deficit to lead late on at surprise package Sheffield United, only for the hosts to rescue a 3-3 draw in a Bramall Lane thriller to leave United ninth in the standings.

Now they welcome Aston Villa, whose Monday night victory over Newcastle put some welcome breathing space between themselves and the relegation zone.

Arsenal travel to Norwich without boss Unai Emery, who was given the boot on Friday.

The lowly Canaries could be forgiven for looking like playing in banana skin yellow, pulling off a handy 2-0 success at Everton before hosting the Gunners, who have failed to win in their last five.

A fascinating battle completes the EPL’s Sunday service as Chris Wilder takes his eye-catching Sheffield United to last season’s promoted darlings, Wolves.

The pair kick off with just one point between them amid the dizzy heights of fifth and sixth in the table, with the hosts at Molineux having long-since shaken off a sticky start to the new campaign as they juggled continental commitments.

Burnley are also mounting an unlikely charge for Europe again, winning their last two ahead of their Turf Moor clash with Roy Hodgson’s bang-out-of-form Crystal Palace on Saturday.

There’s a basement battle on Saturday evening, too, when wooden spoon contenders Southampton and Watford meet at St Mary’s Stadium.
