While Liverpool appear to be running away with the title, and Manchester City are their closest pursuers, there are plenty of the so-called smaller clubs making waves in the Premier League this season. Leicester are right up with the big teams again, Shefiield United were the favourites to be relegated yet sit in sixth, Wolves are seventh and Crystal Palace ninth. Meanwhile, the traditional powerhouses of Arsenal are in tenth, Manchester United 27 points behind the leaders in fifth, and top-flight ever-presents Everton are 11th.
