As it currently stands, Chelsea are set to top the table come Christmas Day. In the last 10 seasons, seven of the 10 sides who were top at Christmas have gone on to win the Premier League title in May – a run which includes Chelsea’s title winning seasons in 2009/10 and 2014/15.

Nice stats! Last few years Fabregas has been in resting mode around christmas which seems to correlate with the points we've got. Arsenal have to wait till the end of the season before they fuck things up!

United are surprisingly good in the back half of the season. Guess I can hope?
