No disgrace in losing to Chelsea. They will take some stopping as long as the core of Mourinho's side stays fit until May.
Only City can challenge them and they have got back on track just at the right time with two away wins.
There will then be a 12-15 point gap to whoever can show some consistency over the next five and a half months. You wouldn't put your house on any of them, would you? Arsenal have the best squad of the rest, Utd have some firepower and Swansea probably have the most settled group of players and have bought well in the summer. Soton may be running out of steam, Liverpool and Spurs need time for many young and/or new players to settle and have lost real matchwinners, Everton look ordinary and West Ham look good for 10th place.
