Most of the time, the winner of the league was the one that stand as the first rank on the boxing day however that doesnt really show that the team has 100 % chance to win the league, they have higher chance to win thats it however with the current league standing and the gap of the points anything can happen
actually from schedule match Liverpool is more advantaged because they only facing small teams untill december and if Liverpool could manage their performance they shouldn't have problem against those teams but different situations for their opponents such as Chelsea or Arsenal because these two teams will playing against strong team such as Manchester United and Tottenham so if Liverpool could harness this situation maybe they will stay at first rank at least untill middle of season
