Points Comparison

I took a look at this seasons results so far and compared it with the corresponding fixture from last season. For Newcastle, West Brom, and Blackpool, I used Burnley, Hull, and Portsmouth respectively.

Chelsea +5 points
Newcastle +4
West Brom +4
Blackpool +3
Man Utd +2
Birmingham +2
Villa +2
Arsenal +1
Blackburn +1
Stoke +1
Man City 0
Liverpool 0
Wolves -1
Fulham -2
Sunderland -2
Bolton -2
West Ham -2
Wigan -3
Everton -6
Spurs -7

So the people who have said nobody can stop Chelsea this year have been promptly reminded that Chelsea's games have not been tough, but they can come back with the fact that they are 5 points better off from these fixtures compared to last year. On the other end, West Ham and Wigan ought to be worried about relegation, and Everton and Spurs might want to think about top10 before they think about Europe.
