(The Guardian) Season’s greetings everyone and welcome to our minute-by-minute coverage of the Boxing Day clash between Leicester City and Liverpool. With a ten point lead at the top of the table, the newly crowned Club World Cup champions already look a shoo-in to win their first title since 1990 and a win tonight over their nearest rivals would give them a 13 point lead, having played one game fewer than tonight’s opponents. Manchester City, in third place, have today off ahead of their own potentially tough assignment at Wolves tomorrow. Should Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers mastermind victory over his former side, Liverpool will remain in the box-seat as far as the title race is concerned, albeit having shown rare signs of fallibility. Kick-off is at 8pm (GMT), but stay tuned in the meantime for team news and build-up.

(The Guardian) When they last met...A late, late James Milner winner from the penalty spot deep in added time earned Liverpool the points when these sides met at Anfield in early October. Sadio Mane had given Liverpool a first half lead, only for James Maddison to equalise with 10 minutes remaining. With four minutes of added time behind them, a Marc Albrighton foul on Mane resulted in a penalty for Liverpool, which Milner dispatched with a minimum of fuss.

(The Guardian) Early team newsWith the possible exception of Harvey Barnes, who was due to undergo a fitness test today, Brendan Rodgers has a full Leicester squad to choose from, but his opposite number is not so lucky. Jurgen Klopp must make do without Fabinho, who remains sidelined with the ankle ligament injury he suffered against Napoli and is a big loss in midfield. He is joined on the sidelines by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren, while Gini Wijnaldum is a slight doubt but expected to feature in some capacity after recovering from a hamstring injury.

(The Guardian) Jurgen Klopp speaks: “I don’t have to think about things like this, because I am the one who has to prepare after this for [all our next games],” the Liverpool manager tells Amazon Prime Video, upon being asked if victory tonight would take Liverpool a significant step closer to winning the title. “You can win all those games but you can also lose them. I have never understood this talk [about winning the league] when we are less than halfway through the season. You can ask, but I can’t really answer because I don’t want to think about these things.” Brendan Rodgers speaks: “He’s right up there,” Leicester’s manager says, when asked where Jamie Vardy ranks among the players he’s managed. “He’s a brilliant player for us, he sets the tone for everything. He’s a real talisman, and a great striker, but for us it’s all about the team.” On Leicester’s chances of reeling in Liverpool: “There’s 10 points in it and that seems a lot but over a period of games it’s not a huge amount,” he says. “But we need a performance tonight, to forget about the title race and just perform well.”

(The Guardian) 2 min: Sadio Mane misses an excellent opportunity to put Liverpool ahead, getting in behind Jonny Evans to get on the end of a cross from the right from Mo Salah, the flight of which the defender misjudged. From a couple of yards out, he fails to make clean contact with the ball and somehow contrives to put it high and wide.
