Ahead of the Chelsea-Liverpool game on Sunday, the pre-match show showed a “sub-table” of the premier league of how the top 8 teams had fared against each other. While by definition, the Premier League is played among 20 teams, and your result against Chelsea is as important as that against Crystal Palace, looking at sub-leagues like this one can help us gauge what the overall points table is trying to hide.
In this post I’ll just show the sub-league of the top of the league (top 3 to top 7) and bottom of the league (bottom 3 to bottom 7). Offered without further comment.
