European Club Power Rankings: December 2018

#4 Liverpool

Liverpool are fighting for their first ever Premier League title

Liverpool have shown commendable improvement in their league performances this season. The Merseysiders are closely tailing league leaders Manchester City with a deficit of two points between them. They are currently placed second in the table with 39 points from 15 games.

Jurgen Klopp's men have shown the kind of consistency any team needs to have in order to provide stiff competition to Pep Guardiola's giants.

They have won their last four league games, showcasing their praiseworthy attacking finesse and maintaining a resilient defence at the back.

Liverpool have scored 30 goals, but it is their defence that deserves a special mention. They currently boast the best defence in entire Europe, having conceded only six times. They boast a goal difference of +24.

Liverpool will face Bournemouth, Manchester United, Wolverhampton, Newcastle and Arsenal in the remainder of the month.

Emerging unscathed through this run of tricky fixtures will be crucial for the Merseysiders to keep their title hopes alive.

#3 Paris Saint Germain

Paris Saint Germain have dominated the Ligue 1 as expected

Paris Saint Germain have continued running riot in the Ligue 1 as they usually do. They currently sit atop the league table with 44 points from 16 games. It won't be wrong to say they have already won the title, as they lead second-placed LOSC Lille by 14 points.

PSG have scored the highest number of goals in the league (49), better than any other team in Europe. They have let in 10 goals, leading to a goal difference +39, which is again the best in Europe.

However, Les Parisiens' position in the Power Rankings can be justified over the fact that they play in a league which hardly offers them any equal competition for the title.

PSG will face Dijon and Nantes in the remaining days - a run of fixtures that will barely affect their claim to the league title.
