Premier League calendar year champions: Arsenal would have won two of the last five titles and Leeds would have lifted the trophy if they played January to December

There has been a lot of talk about calendar year records of late, mostly in relation to Harry Kane's goal scoring - as if the Tottenham hit man needs convenient stats to prove how good he is.

However, in the spirit of good fun and curiosity, we have decided to push the calendar year boat out, and use it to work out who would have been Premier League champions if seasons were played from January to December.

The results throw up several entertaining 'what if' scenarios - Arsenal fans would be far more satisfied than they are currently, while there would be a different name engraved on the trophy.
