    It is mad to think that they could:

    Equal Chelsea's record of 15 goals in a season (and technically improve on that given Chelsea played 8 less matches when doing so)
    Achieve a record 31 clean sheets
    Not concede more than one goal in a game all season (something Chelsea failed to do when conceding 15 goals in a season)
    Lose two matches all season
    Incur a heaviest defeat of 1-0
    Score the second most goals in the division
    Be 24 goals clear of the team with the third best goal difference 
    Be unbeaten in 33 league games, having not lost since, ironically, given their opponents on Saturday, they did so to Millwall on 3rd November 
    Pick up 100 points

    And still finish second
    I'm half hoping that Burnley win the Championship now.

    But, but, but that would mean clean sheets can win titles. Surely that's not right 😉

    That Liverpool record is impressive. Didn't get the most clean sheets but they only played 42 games, the others on the list all played 46.

    They conceded just 16 goals all season and 3 of them came in one game. Conceded just 4 goals at Anfield.
    Chelsea got 26 in a 38 game season too I think which is impressive.
