They're not the only ones in top form, with Chelsea in second place, Arsenal in third and Manchester City closing out the Top 4 in fourth. They're going to want to make a statement once Boxing Day gets here.
That's right, come Dec. 26, there's going to be a full schedule of games for everyone to enjoy. In this piece, we've got you covered with the best games that fans aren't going to want to miss:
Manchester City vs. Everton on Boxing Day
In this one, Pep Guardiola and Co. are going to want to get back on track. It's been an inconsistent season for the reigning Premier League champs, as City is usually in the hunt for the title this time of year.
However, they're still in fourth place and Erling Haaland, Kevin DeBruyne, Phil Foden and others are going to want to make a splash against Everton. Everton will have an upset in mind, but look for Haaland and the boys to take care of business.
Tottenham vs. Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day
One of the biggest surprises this season has been the strong play of Nottingham Forest. Seemingly out of nowhere, NFFC is in fifth place of the Premier League table and the club is pushing for a Champions League spot. That's where plenty of people thought Tottenham would be.
However, it's been a slow start to the season for Heung-Min Son, James Maddison and others. Tottenham is in 10th place, but a convincing win over Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day could give them a needed confidence boost.
Chelsea vs. Fulham on Boxing Day
A London Derby on Boxing Day? That's exactly what we've got on the way with Chelsea FC and Fulham getting ready to face off. All of the patience is paying off for Chelsea fans, as the Blues are not only in the Champions League hunt, but they're looking like title contenders.
Cole Palmer has been outstanding, as he continues to score incredible goals for this team. Not only that, but Ecuadorian sensation Moises Caicedo is living up to the hype, consistently putting in great shifts. It's proving to be a year to remember for Chelsea and a Boxing Day win over Fulham would make things even sweeter.
Liverpool vs. Leicester City on Boxing Day
Last but not least, you knew we had to bring up the current favorites to win the Premier League title this campaign. Yup, that'd be Liverpool, as new manager Arne Slot is having a dream first season leading this team following the retirement of Jurgen Klopp.
Mo Salah is looking sensational, while Virgil Van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and others are looking fantastic like usual. The Foxes and Jamie Vardy will look to make things interesting vs. LFC on Boxing Day, but at this point, it'd be a stunner if Liverpool doesn't grab the three points.
