Since the first round of Barclays Premier League fixtures were completed in August Chelsea have topped the table. Now, with six-and-a-half weeks of the 2014/15 campaign remaining, we take a look at other statistics from the league season where the Blues are ahead.Data sourced from the Premier League’s official stats show our players to be the best in the country at certain aspects of the game. The team as a whole lead the way in a number of different areas, too. The statistics are all related to Premier League matches only, and it is worth noting we have played at least one game fewer than every other team in the division bar bottom-placed Leicester. There’s plenty of time, then, to add to the following totals as we seek to secure the league title in the final eight games of the season…
Our 63 goals are the joint most in the division, and our goal difference of +37 is the highest.
No player has scored more goals in England’s top flight than Diego Costa. He has 19 for the season in 24 appearances. Harry Kane’s 19 goals have come in 27 appearances.
Eden Hazard (86) and Cesc Fabregas (79) have created the most chances in the Premier League. Fabregas has 16 assists to this name from those chances created, six more than the next highest player.
The Spanish midfielder has also completed more passes than anyone else (1899). Nemanja Matic and Hazard are third and fourth respectively.
Hazard has completed 144 take-ons in the Premier League this season, comfortably clear of Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez who has 98.
Hazard is also the most fouled player in the division. He has been illegally halted in his tracks 92 times at an average of over three times per game.
We have won more Premier League games than anybody else (21) and we have also lost the fewest (two).
Our 14-game unbeaten run at the start of the season is the longest made by any team in the Premier League this term.
We are currently unbeaten in 10 league games. No other team can match that for a current unbeaten run.
No team can match the six goals we scored in a single away game, against Everton back in August.
We are the only team in England’s top four divisions to have not lost a home league match this season.
