Chelsea, 44 points.
Manchester City, 40 points.
Manchester United, 36 points.
Arsenal, 32 points.

The team needs to recover longer than expected, at least in the 20th round of the Premier League on the first day of 2015, Situ Yunbing could intuitively feel it.
Leicester City visit Anfield, Liverpool's prodigy Mbappe did not perform magic again, Lewandowski and Gareth Bale did not have an eye-catching state to inspire confidence, if not for Coutinho With a world wave of feet, Liverpool was in danger of falling at home again. In the end, the Red Army and the Blue Foxes drew 1:1.
In the same round, Chelsea stumbled at White Hart Lane, and Mourinho's team was defeated by Pochettino's Tottenham 5:3!
Although Chelsea's lineup structure is reasonable, in the final analysis, their lineup thickness is weaker than that of Liverpool.

This defeat made Mourinho not only missed the opportunity to return to the top of the list, but even Chelsea fell behind Liverpool in points.
Manchester City beat Sunderland 3:2 in this round!
Manchester United drew with Stoke City!

Fleet Street has reported the hot situation of the Premier League championship,
And when counting the Christmas Devil's schedule this season, Manchester City became the biggest winner!
It took them half a month to narrow the gap with the top of the list by as much as 8 points!
Now they are only 2 points away from the top Liverpool, and the gap between the top three is only one goal!
There are 9 days before the next league game, which will give Liverpool plenty of time to recuperate.
During this period, the FA Cup started, and Liverpool was a guest to challenge AFC Wimbledon.
This afc Wimbledon is not the mad gang Wimbledon that people knew before, um, that is, the mad gang that was rumored to have kicked Liverpool to tears more than 20 years ago.
AFC Wimbledon is a new team established by crazy fans. In recent years, it has started from the lowest league and climbed up step by step. The performance is indeed very eye-catching, but after all, it has not entered the mainstream attention.
Liverpool was a guest to challenge their game, and Situ Yunbing recruited many players from the reserve team to fight.
Among them, Sane naturally became an indispensable starter.
Situ Yunbing also wants to see if Sane has changed.
It has only been a week since Sane went to the reserve team, but he has already played a game. According to the game report of the reserve team coach, Sane does have a strong desire to perform in the game, and at the same time, he has also improved a lot in terms of confrontation positivity.
Situ Yunbing sat on the coaching bench this time as a guest to challenge AFC Wimbledon, and his eyes were fixed on Sane for a long time, because he was the most concerned player among the starting players. Past Vardy.
Shortly after the start of the game, Sane was knocked to the ground by AFC Wimbledon players.
The home team fans used taunting laughter as if to express their compassion for Sane.
Situ Yunbing's expression was turbulent and did not change at all. After 3 minutes, Sane was entangled with his opponent in a confrontation.
All the audience at the scene saw that Sane pulled the ball under his feet in the physical confrontation and changed his direction to complete the escape. It was very exciting!
Situ Yunbing finally showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, Sane broke through into the penalty area and assisted Vardy in a forward pass from the bottom line to score a goal!
AFC Wimbledon is not strong, it can be said to be very weak, but they pay great attention to physical confrontation, which is also a good stage for Sane to practice.
In this game, Sane fell down many times and was the player who was violated the most by his opponents, but he got up quickly after every fall, and never flinched in front of every fight.
When the 90-minute game ended, his jersey was the dirtiest, his socks were rotten, and he even had a small bruise on his cheek, which was caused by an opponent's suspected elbow.
And he handed over a hat-trick of assists and a goal answer sheet, shining the audience.
When he left the field after the game, Situ Yunbing took the initiative to walk towards him. Sane had a victorious smile on his face, but when he saw Situ Yunbing walking in front of him, he became nervous again. There is already a deep fear.
Situ Yunbing raised his hands to give him a high five, and smiled at him, "You are starting to look like a Liverpool fighter. You performed well today. Keep going."
After saying that, Situ Yunbing turned and left.
Sane was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face again, and he hurriedly asked: "Boss, can I go back to the first team?"
Situ Yunbing stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said to him, "You have just started on the road, and the end point is still far away."
Sane's smile disappeared immediately.
Situ Yunbing continued: "However, I can assure you that you will definitely start in the FA Cup."
Sane laughed again.
Liverpool successfully advanced to the FA Cup, and Sane's outstanding performance made Fleet Street cry for him again!
And the European giants are also ready to move, Manchester City even offered a transfer fee of 40 million pounds for Sane!
Liverpool club is still unmoved.
It wasn't until Sane himself said in an interview that he wanted to prove himself in Liverpool that the storm was temporarily settled.
After more than a week of rest, Liverpool challenged the black cat Sunderland as a guest at the Stadium of Light in the 21st round of the league.
Situ Yunbing's starting lineup is full of energy this time, and looks like a resurrection with full blood.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Koulibaly, Robertson.
Midfield: Casemiro, Coutinho, Kante.
Forwards: Mbappe, Lewandowski, Gareth Bale.
Even in an away game, Situ Yunbing firmly let the team press high and attack wildly!
Sunderland really wanted to take advantage of Liverpool at home at home, but at the beginning of the game they found that the trend was completely different from what they expected.
In the previous two rounds of the league, Liverpool suffered two consecutive draws, and both were at home. It felt like the end of the battle, but after a break, the team's state recovered strongly!
Gareth Bale responded to Coutinho's wonderful pass and scored from the left side of the penalty area to open the scoring for Liverpool!
Immediately afterwards, Lewandowski passed the ball to Mbappe from the front of the penalty area, and the latter made a strong breakthrough with the ball and entered the penalty area with a low shot from the right rib to make another victory!
Liverpool led Sunderland by two goals in just 30 minutes!
Sunderland is the master of draws in the Premier League this season. There were 11 draws in the previous 20 rounds of the league, so it seems that they have lost less, but not many points.
There is nothing to worry about falling behind by two goals at home. Sunderland quickly strengthened the counterattack, which allowed Liverpool's two wingers to give full play to their speed advantage.
Before the end of the first half, Gareth Bell made a long-distance attack from the left and scored a single-handed goal!
Liverpool leads Sunderland 3:0 and seals the victory!
Situ Yunbing raised his arms and cheered on the sidelines, and the team's recovery also made him full of confidence in the second half of the season!
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Sunderland attacked aggressively, and Liverpool fought back hard.
In the 59th minute of the game, Mbappe dribbled wildly from the right and slammed the ball back diagonally after hitting the bottom. Coutinho followed up and then sent a through ball to Lewandowski who was going forward. The player volleyed in the penalty area and scored!
Liverpool's furious offensive beat Sunderland to pieces!
Sunderland began to retreat, and the game was powerless.
But Liverpool seems to show no signs of stopping.
In the 71st minute of the game, Gareth Bale's free kick directly made the Sunderland goalkeeper make a save. Azpilicueta made a supplementary shot in the penalty area and sent the ball into the goal to add to the team's icing on the cake!
Seeing that the game was coming to an end, Vardy, who came off the bench, received a header from Henderson's cross in the penalty area, and the football just flew into the upper left corner of the goal, a dead corner!
Liverpool blast Sunderland with 6 goals at the Stadium of Light!
With a wild victory, the state of the defending champion has been fully recovered!
In this round, Chelsea also won Newcastle United 2-0 at home and won the victory, chasing Liverpool in the standings, but Manchester City stumbled and drew 1-1 with Everton in the away game. It is a state of ups and downs.
There is no fighting in the middle of the week.
On Tuesday afternoon, Situ Yunbing invited Gerrard to dinner.
Gerrard was a little surprised, because he had accepted Situ Yunbing's arrangement at the beginning of this season, and now he is somewhat marginalized in Liverpool's first team, so he didn't invite Situ Yunbing to find him for what purpose.
During the dinner, Situ Yunbing extended an invitation to Gerald.
"Steve, are you interested in joining my coaching staff?"
Gerrard was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Does the boss want me to retire?"
Situ Yunbing shook his head and said: "No, I just hope that you can speed up the pace of career planning, and I also lack an assistant coach by my side, one who is familiar with Liverpool, one who is himself, and one who will not bring the team either training or competition. People with wild fluctuations and influences, you are the perfect candidate."
Gerrard was immediately curious and asked, "Is there a shortage of people in our coaching team?"
He doesn't think the coaching staff is short of people.
Situ Yunbing nodded and said: "That's right, the news hasn't been announced yet, but tomorrow morning, the club will officially announce Alonzo's resignation. He is no longer a member of Liverpool's coaching team. I hope you can take care of his vacancy." on top."
Gerald was startled.
