Manchester City's title charge could be about to receive a boost as they prepare for two matches in one gameweek.
The Citizens are currently two points behind Liverpool at the top of the league but with a game in hand.

Pep Guardiola's men are starting to hit their stride and have won six Premier League games in a row.
So a double gameweek for City is the last thing their title rivals want.
Why are Man City playing twice in gameweek 25?
City will face Chelsea and Brentford at home this coming week, giving them a good chance to extend their lead over Arsenal.
But Liverpool also have a double gameweek, so the gap to the top could remain at two points if the Reds win both of their matches.
The reason City have two matches in Gameweek 25 is because of their Club World Cup campaign in December.
The Citizens were meant to face Brentford on December 23, but that was postponed due to their participation in the latter stages of the Club World Cup, which they won.

The Premier League have decided this fixture should be played on Tuesday, February 20 and it will be live on talkSPORT.
This comes just weeks after City and Brentford's last match that ended in a 3-1 win for Guardiola's men.
Phil Foden scored a hat-trick in west London to seal all three points for the Premier League champions, so the Bees will be fearing the worst.
If they make it back-to-back wins against Chelsea and Brentford, City could be heading for one of those unstoppable runs that would make them champions again.
