Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers knows their title credentials will be tested over the next two games.
Liverpool have Manchester City on Boxing Day before a trip to Chelsea.
"We are really looking forward to the games," Rodgers said.
"Last year we should have won at Manchester City and ended up drawing.
"They have a great squad of players and everyone looks at it being their title to lose.
"For us it is about taking each game at a time. We have been on a fantastic run and the quality of our football is at a very high level.
"We will arrive there on Boxing Day in a really good moment."
