Christmas is boxed off.
We're almost through the confusing days before New Year and January is within touching distance.
And we need your help - what is Leicester City's New Year's resolution?
It could be a new player to sign, a tactical system to implement, an off-the-pitch matter or something else entirely.

Here are some of your comments:
Leicester fans
Jon: Judging by the stats, Leicester grew into the game and perhaps were unlucky not to get something out of the it. Unfortunately, it's points that count at the moment and not performances. Money has got to be made available to Ruud van Nistelrooy in the January transfer window. I think we need more defensive options. Also it is an opportunity to try and offload those players who are deemed surplus to requirements. An altogether much better showing by Leicester with more fight and a sense of purpose.
Ian: Played well but we have to convert chances. If not, we are going down. The Wolves result was the disaster. It's going to be difficult to get any sort of result until the Crystal Palace game in the middle of January.
Dave: All round a better performance as our team is playing for a manager they obviously believe in. It's a step in the right direction and loads of elements need to be consistent in this style of playing. Ruud has maybe finished his apprenticeship!
Ryan: Better performance. Matched Man City through the game and were better at times during the match. You can see the progress that Ruud is implementing into the team. Time to start believing and getting behind the team.
Man City fans
Alan: City's second goal was right out of the old playbook. Superb. It was as if Superman had got rid of the Kryptonite! It will take a few more nervy wins to get the old flow back but encouraging.
Wilko: Similar display and performance to numerous recent City games but this one they won. Major overhaul still needed and several stalwarts still need to leave in the summer.
Usama: We were very fortunate at times but a win is a win, which was badly needed. We just need to concentrate on ourselves and forget things like top four etc. Now more than ever we just need to take it one game at a time, build momentum and confidence and see where that takes us. Nothing else matters at this point.
Neil: Another nervous performance but commitment all round the pitch. So pleased for Savinho. His last two performances have been encouraging. We fight till the end.

Image source, Getty ImagesLeicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, speaking to BBC Match of the Day on judging the performance not result: "I think I have to. I wouldn't do the players credit if I didn't. We're professional we know it's about results but we have to look through that because of the performance today.
"It's continuing things and how we are pressing, building up and doing our things and roles of the individuals are clear and they are developing. The important thing is looking at it that way. We have to be judged on results and translate performances into results."
Positive signs?: "Not just this game. The Wolves game at home was a good performance if you take out individual mistakes. The first goal today is not a chance and an individual incident gives them the goal. That's what is costing us at the moment, without putting the blame on someone, but that is something we have to look at.
"Working together with a plan every day in a certain way when things are clear and things are getting clearer, you have the most chance to get the points and that's what we are aiming to do."

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.
This week, he takes on musician Emma-Jean Thackray, who is a Leeds fan.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2
Manchester City are on a terrible run of results but, as woeful as their recent performances have been, they are still not as bad as Leicester.
The Foxes have conceded at least three goals in their past three matches and maybe they are the kind of opposition that Pep Guardiola's side need to face to start firing again.
Leicester did show some spirit in their defeat by Liverpool last time out, but I said before that game that I think Ruud van Nistelrooy has a huge job on his hands to try to keep them up, and my opinion about that has not changed.
This season has always just been about staying up for Leicester but I still think there has to be some realism from the Foxes fans when it comes to their expectations.
It seems like they felt they would be comfortable after getting promotion but that is never the case - whoever you are, you have got to graft and you have got to earn your place in the Premier League.
Maybe their supporters are starting to realise that now?
I don't think Manchester City will run away with this but the only thing I am unsure about is whether to give Leicester a goal. If Jamie Vardy is available, then I think they will score - but they will still lose regardless.
Emma-Jean's prediction: 1-3
I want to preface my predictions by saying I am in a Fantasy Premier League with a bunch of other musicians in London. I have come bottom more than once so I am not hopeful I am going to do any better here - I have only just decided to drop Erling Haaland. I was clinging on for so long and I finally had to say, 'it's time for you to go, mate'.
In terms of this game, it feels like both teams' form has been quite similar. I don't see Leicester scoring more than one, and maybe this is the game where Manchester City get their act together.

Pep Guardiola's side are in miserable form with only one win from 14 matches in all competitions but Foxes boss Ruud van Nistelrooy is well aware of the threat they still possess.
"I know the quality of that squad, that team, that manager," Van Nistelrooy said. "I'm focusing on that. "We have to prepare for a great performance on our side. Being where we are, we need to be spot on in all the parts of football to get a result."
A run of three straight defeats, coupled with two successive wins for Wolves, have dropped Leicester into the relegation zone.
"All the 20 games we will play are massive," added Van Nistelrooy. "We know that a certain amount of points are necessary to stay in [the Premier League] and every second of every game is big for us. That's the Premier League and that is for every team.
"There is constant pressure to perform and get results."

Here are some of your comments:
Liverpool fans
Graham: I am extremely proud of what our boys have achieved this year, it is far from over but Arne Slot has built on Jurgen Klopp's legacy. Well done boys - keep up the good work.
Shay: The amount of poor first-half performances, stretching back to last season under Klopp, is worrying. We do play with more control but ultimately we ran out of comebacks last season and fell off. I fear the same thing will happen again unless we start much better. It's something Slot noticed as well, so I am unclear why it's happening!
Ian: Leicester were stubborn opponents but Liverpool persevered with some excellent football and came out deserved winners. I know I keep mentioning it but again Darwin Nunez was disappointing - we need to invest in a proper number nine.
Yusuf: This Liverpool side has matured greatly over the past months. Even when going behind, they knew how to manage the game and then came flying out of the blocks and scored three well-worked goals. The team's core has stayed the same since the start of last season and now it feels like it can only be ourselves that stop us winning our games. Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah with two outstanding goals.
Leicester fans
Jane: Liked the desire for large parts but I think we are bang in trouble with the lack of quality in the squad. Positives to take but I think Ruud van Nistelrooy will be fighting a losing battle.
Richie: We were always expecting to lose. How we lost matters, and the desire to fight has been absent for the past few managers. So all in all… not a bad performance!
James: This was a much-improved defensive display that in the end was eventually breached by an impressive Liverpool, who took their time to get going. However, other than Jordan Ayew's finish on the turn, Leicester barely laid a glove on Liverpool with Patson Daka and Stephy Mavididi wasteful with their few opportunities. One goal in their past three showcases a bluntness to their play that will need to be put right, as well as having defensive frailties fixed. Got one heck of a job on your hands Ruud.
Richard: Too many players looked light. Men against boys at times. Daka shows why he's not Premier League standard - he gets knocked off the ball too easily. Leicester need a total overhaul. Keep the faith...keep our fingers crossed!

"We were in the game for a long time and at 2-1 we had the Daka chance - these are moments. In these games you have got to take them."
On Jakub Stolarczyk's debut: "Well done for Jakub coming in. He come back from a long injury, he recently played in the under-21s and he had a great game."
On three defeats in a row: "It is up to us to keep developing and creating gameplans for every opponent. The gameplan was there, players knew what to do and acted too it, but today was the maximum possible.
"Anfield is not the place where we usually collect the points, but for our development we have to do it as the points need to be collected."
On the January transfer window: "It is a great possibility to look at. It's a tool to look at as a club. It's a good option."
Neil Johnston
BBC Sport journalist at Anfield
Image source, PA MediaThree straight defeats with a match against a wounded Manchester City next…these are undoubtedly testing times for Leicester City and their new boss Rudd van Nistelrooy.
While defeat at leaders Liverpool was hardly surprising, Van Nistelrooy needs to find a solution and get the Foxes winning again.
They reach the halfway stage of the Premier League season at home to City on Sunday in the relegation zone for the first time this season.
At least they showed a willingness to fight against Liverpool and they gave the leaders a real scare after taking the lead in the first half before being overrun in the second half.
It has been a disruptive return to the Premier League for the Foxes since winning promotion under the guidance of influential manager Enzo Maresca.
His departure to Chelsea paved the way for Steve Cooper to take charge but the former Nottingham Forest boss lasted just a dozen league games before he was dismissed.
Van Nistelrooy's first five games in charge have yielded just four points but it will be games against the likes of Crystal Palace on 15 January where the Dutchman will be judged.
Image source, Getty ImagesLeicester had four shots in the opening 10 minutes at Anfield and scored with their only shot on target, but didn't manage a single attempt for the rest of the match.
Jordan Ayew's goal was his fourth in the Premier League this season, with the Ghanaian last netting more in a single campaign in 2019-20 (nine). It was also his first goal against Liverpool in the competition.

Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Leicester winger Matt Piper spoke to BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast about Thursday's match at Liverpool:
"We have to go there with different tactics to what we've seen from Ruud [van Nistelrooy] so far. He's going to have to find the biggest bus he can find and park it in front of the goal! It is the only way of getting a result.
"Liverpool are a frightening prospect at the moment. The way that they are playing this season is so front-footed and aggressive. It's going to be a real difficult test and you can't see us getting anything there.
"It will be interesting to see who he puts in goal. Danny Ward's confidence is on the floor so I think he'll make a change.
"We may play with three central defenders, with wing-backs who sit in for most of the game. It doesn't matter if we don't have any pace in the backline because they'll be sitting so deep.
"I can't see him playing any other way - if he does, I think it could be a cricket score."
