LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester City will seek to maintain their searing title pace on Sunday as the Premier League's clubs muster their squads for a bumper festive programme that has survived intact despite the spectre of recent pandemic-driven postponements.

City, relatively untroubled by the surge in COVID-19 cases that caused the delay of nine of the last 20 Premier League matches, host Leicester City on the back of an eight-match winning run in the league.

Liverpool, who are three points behind, kick off the Boxing Day programme with a home game against out-of-form Leeds United while Chelsea, who have slipped six points back, go to Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa. "I don't really believe in superstitions and these types of things. I just believe in winning games and trying to be there until the end," Mahrez said.

Chelsea, who handed debuts to three teenaged academy players in the League Cup win at Brentford on Wednesday, are also emerging from their only COVID-19 complications. Fourth-placed Arsenal will visit bottom club Norwich City on Boxing Day seeking a fourth successive win as the battle for top-four place behind the leading trio intensifies.
