It’s yours to lose

But after her Wimbledon and Olympic triumphs, many of her rivals seem to think the year’s final grand slam is hers to lose.

“Serena is probably the favorite coming in given her recent form,” said Australian Samantha Stosur, the defending champion. “No matter who you are, I don’t think you can really deny that.”

3. Brendan Rodgers has said the Boxing Day visit to Manchester City holds no fear for Liverpool despite his belief that the Premier League title is City's to lose.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side enjoy an unblemished home record in the league, winning all eight games at the Etihad Stadium with a remarkable return of 35 goals, an average of 4.37 goals per game.

City have put six goals past Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in the past month but with Liverpool boasting the second-highest goals tally in the Premier League, the competition’s finest player in Luis Suárez and a one-point lead over City, Rodgers insists there will be no trepidation at the Etihad Stadium.

“We arrive there with no fear,” said Liverpool’s manager. “We outplayed Manchester City last year, home and away. We had two draws and we should have won both games but we will go there with every respect for them. I believe with the squad they have, it is their title to lose.

“For us, we will go there and play our game. We will go there and be aggressive and to press the football. We had 23 shots on goal against Cardiff [on Saturday]. They will have seen from Cardiff and from Tottenham [whom Liverpool beat 5-0 at White Hart Lane this month], that we can score goals.”
