Merry Christmas Pep Guardiola! Not that he needs anyone to wish him so, his Manchester City team already have a bigger margin at Christmas than anyone else has had in the Premier League. So will Pep really buy in January?
This season is starting to look like a stroll in the park for Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City team. A 4-0 thumping of Bournemouth was followed by Manchester United drawing 2-2 with Leicester City.
It means that the 'Citizens' now have a 13 point lead at the top of the table and their third Premier League title looks all but certain, it would take a monumental mess up for it not to happen now.

Not many teams get to this time of year unbeaten either and no one looks like stopping that anytime soon either so can City really get any better?
Well after Virgil van Dijk was left out of Southampton's team on Saturday fans, especially those from Liverpool took to Twitter to say they thought the Dutchman's departure to City was inevitable. That despite the Sunday World claiming the Reds have been allowed to negotiate with the player via his club:
Speaking after the match about the centre backs future Saints' manager Mauricio Pellegrino said, "Virgil, we know there will be a lot of speculation about him he's important player but I can't say anything right now.

"I decided that was best for this moment. This is the reason. I am responsible for picking 11 players, and I intend to pick the best for the team. Van Dijk's future? We have to wait."
So will it be Anfield or the Etihad for Van Dijk?
