Aware the only games we have failed to win are against the current top 6 and we have played them all, i wondered how our 1st 12 games compared to the other teams.
Obviously this is relatively subjective and any methodology will have some flaws but i looked at the current position of all the teams each team has faced and averaged that figure across the 12 games. Therefore to anything under 10.5 means you have faced generally higher placed teams and had a more difficult start. Over 10.5 and you have faced manly lower teams and have had a comparatively easier first 12 games.
Measured this way Palace have had the hardest opening 12 games, followed by Everton and Watford.
Arsenal have faced tougher sides than Man City which may suggest they could take top spot between now and the midway point at Xmas as they will face teams lower down the table.
Southampton have had the easiest 12 games followed by Man City and Swansea.
Hopefully we can turn this into an advantage as we face teams lower down the division between now and Xmas and translate this into pints and a push back up into the top 6 but more importantly to 40 points by the end of January.
