To prevent Liverpool's 17th out of 18 victory, it is necessary to postpone the match with West Ham for the commitment of the Club World Cup. But the Premier still presents two central events. Vardy's amazing Leicester wants to continue dreaming: tomorrow he has a severe test with City and on the 26th he plays with Liverpool. Two basic tests to weigh the real consistency of Ranieri's former champions. Guardiola's team goes to highs and lows, but when it is on the ball it knows how to dominate. The other highlight is part of the long sprint for fourth place: Tottenham revitalized by Mourinho has the derby with Lampard's Chelsea in crisis, with 4 knockouts in 5 games. A further thud could bring United, afloat with Watford, to the surface. Even worse is Arsenal which has won only once since October: after Emery's exoneration he should rely on Arteta, Guardiola's deputy, already from tomorrow's match with Everton who is making the big hit: Carlo Ancelotti, after the exoneration from Naples he arrives in the Premier with a salary for nabobs.
