The 2024/2025 Premier League standings is slowly taking shape following the completion of last weekend's round of matches.

Arsenal and Chelsea were among the big winners of matchday 13, following their remarkable victories over West Ham United and Aston Villa respectively.

The Gunners thumped the Hammers 5-2 at the London Stadium on Saturday, with Gabriel Magalhaes, Leandro Trossard, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, and Bukayo Saka all on the scoresheet.

Emerson and Aaron Wan-Bissaka grabbed the two consolation goals for Julen Lopetegui's side.

Chelsea, on the other hand, recorded an impressive 3-0 victory against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, December 1, to go level on points with Arsenal.

Interestingly, the two London rivals are not only level on points but also in the number of wins (7), draws (4), defeats (2), goals for (26), goals against (14), and goal difference (12).

Despite having identical statistics, the only factor putting Arsenal ahead of Chelsea is the number of away goals scored in the head-to-head meeting between the two sides.

With this metric, Gabriel Martinelli's away goal at Stamford Bridge in the 1-1 draw between the two teams is what places Mikel Arteta's side ahead of Enzo Maresca's Blues.
