It’s halftime for the English Premier League season, with all 20 clubs having played 19 of 38 matches. Some have established themselves as favorites for the title; others will be hoping to put together a winning streak and avoid relegation to the Championship. Here’s a look at the teams through the first five months of the 2014/15 campaign. Clubs are mentioned in order of the Premier League standings.

Top 10: Title & European Contenders

Chelsea have maintained impressive form with only one loss in the first half of the season, and remain favorites to win a first league title since 2010. Defending champions Manchester City remain only three points behind, boasting leading scorer Sergio Agüero. Manchester United had a rocky EPL start to life under Louis van Gaal, particularly in coping with a lack of Champions League action, but the Red Devils have come to life with a nine-match unbeaten run. Southampton have been one of the major surprises, sitting fourth after four of their best players from 2013/14 left the club over the summer. Arsenal, West Ham United, and Tottenham are all just outside the Champions League spots, but certainly maintain goals of reaching Europe’s top club competition in 2015. Liverpool have endured a rough few months in both the Premier and Champions Leagues; the Reds came very close to winning the title last season, and have likely been dealing with mental doubts on whether they’ll contend again. Swansea and Newcastle complete the top half of the table.

Bottom 10: Relegation Battle

Stoke sit 11th, but have won their last two matches, and welcome Manchester United to the Britannia Stadium on Thursday. Everton and Aston Villa have the exact same record (five wins, six draws, eight losses), but both have time to climb back into the top half. Sunderland had a dramatic escape at the end of last season, and control their destiny right now at 14th. QPR have the league’s third-leading scorer in Charlie Austin, but will need him to maintain form if Rangers are to stay up. West Bromwich Albion have struggled, and will start the second part of the season with their third manager since May. Because Hull were FA Cup finalists last season, they’ve been competing in both the EPL and Europa League, and their domestic record has been disastrous: only one win since early October. Crystal Palace currently sit in the relegation zone, but with reports that Alan Pardew could be taking over as manager, will he bring good fortune to Selhurst Park? Burnley & Leicester finished second and first, respectively, in last’s year Championship; they are now second-bottom and bottom of the top tier. Both clubs got huge results on Sunday (Burnley getting a draw at City, Leicester winning for the first time since September), and will want to build momentum going forward.

Matchday 20 sees all 20 clubs in action on New Year’s Day. With eight matches all beginning at 10 AM Eastern time, NBCSN will present Premier League Breakaway, cutting in between the games in that time slot to show important action.

Who will take home the title in 2015? The Premier League’s second half should provide a lot of drama and excitement.

For those interested in the Championship standings, Bournemouth and Ipswich are currently the top two, and control their destinies for  automatic promotion. Derby, Middlesbrough, Watford, & Brentford are third-sixth, respectively, each in line for the promotion play-offs.
