Chelsea sit in third with 4.08 per cent, while Aston Villa’s resurgence places them fifth at 1.90 per cent.
Liverpool appears just ahead of Villa at 1.92 per cent after ending their brief winless spell.

From a Ghanaian viewpoint, Antoine Semenyo’s Bournemouth carry 0.07 per cent, and Mohammed Kudus’ Tottenham Hotspur hold 0.05 per cent.
