Liverpool FC fans certainly have plenty of reason to rejoice this Christmas, as their favorite team is top of the table in both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. And they are certain to stay there too, regardless of what the primary rival to their domestic dominance, Chelsea FC does against Fulham in the southwest London derby.
The Anfield outfit has a four point lead on the Blues, plus a game in hand. And the next fixture, a visit from lowly Leicester City, looks like an almost certain victory.
