We have a title race, we may have a fight for fourth, we could have a chase for fifth and, although it looked dormant a few weeks ago, the relegation battle might even be back from the dead, too.
With the Premier League about to go into hyper-speed and teams to play approximately 4,000 matches each from now until the New Year, it's time to take a quick step back from the action and assess the state of the league from top to bottom.
