Premier League title contenders assessed: Antonio Conte is looking like a genius at Chelsea and Man United are getting there slowly

It was another pivotal weekend in the Premier League, with Chelsea moving three points clear, Arsenal and Tottenham producing five-star displays, Manchester City and Liverpool suffering defeats and Manchester United losing more ground.

But although there is a familiar feel to the top six, it really is anyone's guess as to how the final standings will look in May.

As we enter the crucial festive period, Sportsmail assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the title contenders and what happens next.

Were they winners or losers this weekend?

Winners, and emphatically so. In the biggest test of their title credentials and Antonio Conte's tenure so far, Chelsea went to Manchester City, came from behind to win 3-1 and send out a powerful message to the rest of the Premier League.
