Any momentum Chelsea had picked up in the final week of November, through outclassing Barcelona and matching Arsenal with 10 men, appears to have been stunted in December.

Eight points separate them and the top of the Premier League.
The running order is determined by several factors, including the number of goals, the importance of the result in the title race or relegation battle, controversial VAR calls, and the overall quality of the game.
