The gap in the Premier League is back down to six points and Manchester City feel like they've a spring in their step after wins over Crystal Palace and Atalanta... but could fixture pile-ups leave Pep Guardiola with problems?

David Mooney is joined by Mr Stat City, Adam Carter, and Manchester City fan Chris Higginbottom to discuss Raheem Sterling's hat-trick, Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero's displays, plus the role Phil Foden slotted into in the Champions League. We look at the Christmas fixture farce, while Howard Hockin discusses Oleksandr Zinchenko. There's also a preview of City's matches with Aston Villa and Southampton.
