We have both sides of the divide on Saturday at Selhurst Park – Liverpool run riot over Crystal Palace winning 7-0. Can anyone keep pace or are the champions about to disappear into the distance? Man United hammer Leeds 6-2 at Old Trafford, in a game that almost has pundits waxing lyrical about the losers more than the winners. But given United’s squad depth, are they viable title contenders? Are Arsenal in a relegation fight? What makes them so painful to watch and so easy to ply against? Plus we take a look at football’s Christmas history. And how Fulham are channelling 80s Juventus.
