Cape Town - Second-placed Leicester City are already a formidable 10 points behind Liverpool … is their English Premiership title challenge even vaguely credible?
That will be put to a particularly searching test over the next few days as they tackle defending champions Manchester City away … and then the Reds themselves at home in a crackerjack fixture on Boxing Day.
Judging by our tipsters’ sentiments, the Foxes may well only fall further behind in the tricky little period for them.
Each round of the 2019/20 campaign, a group of our staff has a crack at predicting the results - do the exercise yourself, if you like, and see how you compare afterwards.
Compiled by Rob Houwing (Newcastle-partial), the others are Garrin Lambley (Everton, and defending champion), Lloyd Burnard, Tashreeq Vardien, Baden Gillion and Lynn Butler (all Man Utd) plus Craig Taylor (Liverpool).
Three points are awarded for an entirely correct score-line, and one for right result.
