For some time I have been tracking the points of each Premier League team in a graph to see the overall progress of each team, and how a run of good form moves a team past its competitors or a run of bad form causes stagnation and other teams to overtake. I have not seen this published elsewhere so in case there is anyone else out there interested in this, here it is, please click to enlarge. I will publish updates every so often.
Looking at the season so far, what stands out is that the top three Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea have broken away since November, opening up a clear gap over the chasing pack hunting down fourth place, which until February had five teams in a jumble of lines. Arsenal's two dramatic recoveries in November and January can also be seen. At the bottom, the pack of six teams above doomed Portsmouth were densely packed in February and then opened out, with Sunderland in particular seeming to break clear, but today's wins for West Ham and Burnley are tightening up that group again.
