These things are always skewed to give whatever point you're trying to make, whether it's to change it from top 4 to top 6 or top 7 or changing it altogether to the 'big 4' rather than the top 4. Take the table above, Chelsea look like they've done great, but restrict it to the top 4 and you'd have this:
Liverpool 7
Tottenham 5
Arsenal 4
Chelsea 0
Also take this from mid Feb last season

Of course, this was a table to beat City with with rather than us, hence why you're not seeing a different version that is less favorable to us.
