The Premier League gets ready to pause for the World Cup, some unlikely storylines are in place for the second half of the season.
Arsenal has a five-point lead and is undoubtedly Manchester City’s biggest challenger for its title.
Newcastle is increasingly looking like a team with enough quality to get into the Champions League.
Graham Potter and Frank Lampard, meanwhile, might do well to finish the season in their respective jobs at Chelsea and Everton.
The final round of matches before a six-week break saw Arsenal respond to City’s shock 2-1 home loss to Brentford by beating Wolverhampton 2-0 to open up its biggest lead so far in the league.
Martin Odegaard’s goals in the 55th and 75th minutes earned Arsenal a 12th win in 14 games. The only points Mikel Arteta’s team will have dropped before Christmas came in a loss at Manchester United and a draw at Southampton, a brilliant run of results that few could have seen coming.
