The English Premier League table has Chelsea atop the standings over Man City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Southampton, Tottenham and West Ham heading into the spring part of the EPL schedule and the Blues have continued their strong run in the Barclays through the season and continue to be the favorites to take the title.
Chelsea suffered a slight set back on Saturday, as they pulled a draw at home with Burnley to leave two points on the pitch at Stamford Bridge. The team had only given that up all season and while they still have a nice lead over Man City, the lead is now down to just five points. Chelsea has been leading the Barclays all season and they come in with 18 wins and 60 points to lead the league. Man City and Chelsea have the same amount of goals scored, while the Blues have a better goal differential.
Chelsea is atop Man City and Arsenal in the standings, while Manchester United is in fourth place coming into this week. Arsenal is leading Man United by one point in the standings, while Southampton is one point back of Man United. Liverpool has made a strong run since the calendar changed to 2015, as they now are in sixth place and within striking distance of the top four.
Liverpool got off to a tough start this season, but they have been playing well of late and after finishing second last year, they have the chance to keep moving up. The team was eliminated from Champions League play and that gives them a chance to rest players down the stretch. Liverpool comes in ahead of Tottenham by a point, while West Ham, Swansea City and Stoke City round out the top 10.
Stoke city is ahead of Newcastle, while Everton, Crystal Palace and West Brom are next on the standings. The bottom part of the table has Hull City, Sunderland and QPR, while Burnley, Aston Villa and Leicester City are down in relegation on the table. The schedule over the weekend saw Swansea City take care of business at home against Manchester United, while Stoke City held against Aston Villa. Hull City is coming in after a win against QPR, while Arsenal won away against Crystal Palace.
Man City took advantage of Chelsea's draw, as they got a win against Newcastle by the score of 5-0 to cut the lead on the table. Liverpool continued their solid play, with a 2-0 win against Southampton, while Everton finished with a draw against Leicester City. Sunderland and West Brom pulled a draw, while Chelsea and Burnley had a draw.
