The Reds have won 11 of their opening 17 matches, and host Stoke on December 27 before a tricky game against Manchester City at Anfield on New Year’s Eve as they look to close the gap between them and Antonio Conte’s Blues.

Klopp’s men had won one of just four Premier League matches prior to a 3-0 win at Middlesbrough and, although they looked set to drop points at Goodison Park on Monday, their relentless pressure eventually paid off, securing a hugely important three points going into the busy Christmas period.
