The Premier League's Midtable Revolution Has Begun
At this point in a marvelously topsy-turvy Premier League season, it’s hard to determine which has been the more stunning turn of events: Leicester City’s transformation from basement dweller into table toppers, or Chelsea’s nearly apocalyptic crash.
