Manchester City top Premier League going into the new year

Manchester City and Chelsea are first and second, with City top by one goal on goal difference. Liverpool are third as a result of their brilliant second half to last season when they collected 48 points - more than any other club, while Manchester United are fifth in the table despite their seventh-placed finish at the end of the 2013-14 season. At the other end, it is a sorry tale for Steve Bruce's Hull. Their combined total of 30 points is the same amount that Cardiff managed when they finished bottom last season. They have also managed only seven wins this year. Crystal Palace might be in the relegation zone in the 2014-15 campaign, but in this table they are six points clear of the bottom three due to the magic touch of previous manager Tony Pulis. Only seven teams of the 17 in the table managed to accrue more points than the Eagles in the second half of the 2013-14 season.
