The Xmas period always comes with a very busy schedule in the English Premier League and while some big teams are favoured their are some that have to go toe to toe with tough opponents consecutively just like it's happened to Liverpool currently, they're in great form no doubt, currently the best in the league to doubt but the busy schedule could see them decline on the table especially if they encounter any injury in any of those match
Tourmalet around Xmas period is one of most challenging time for all clubs in Premier League. Many matches within very short time, and players have to play more matches than usual during same period, and have less time for recovery. It increases risk of injury for players and it's unfair for them too because players in other domestic leagues simply enjoy their holidays around Xmas and New Year.
Liverpool with their new coach since this season beginning, Arne Slot who has his first season in Premier League, will have sort of troubles in this Tourmalet. This period can be chance for Chelsea and other clubs to reduce point differences with Liverpool. Liverpool possibly will lose points but other competitors of Liverpool must to maximize their points in coming matches. If they can not do that, any lost point from Liverpool won't help them anything.
