Chelsea top the 2016 Premier League table... while Crystal Palace prop up the pack after terrible calendar year

They may have struggled at the start of the year, but Chelsea's stunning form at the tail end means they top the overall Premier League table for 2016.

The Blues are on a 13-match winning streak under manager Antonio Conte, which has contributed significantly to their place at the top of the pile. They won just 10 other matches over the calender year in the top flight.

Liverpool are second and six points behind the Stamford Bridge club after an excellent 12 months under Jurgen Klopp.
