Their downturn in results compared to last season is in contrast to Chelsea’s improvements.

The Blues are on course to surpass their previous 12th place finish, their lowest since 1994, following Mauricio Pochettino’s arrival.

His side’s six point improvement has been boosted by draws with Liverpool, Arsenal and City, as well as a 4-1 victory at Spurs.

Chelsea are still down in 10th, though, with one rival fan commenting: “Imagine Chelsea +6 and still in 10th.”

Elsewhere, Villa and Spurs both have nine more points from the same fixtures, with Liverpool also better off than last season.

Arsenal and Newcastle, however, are narrowly worse off with one less point.
