Chelsea go into the New Year top of a couple of tables. More positively for the Blues, they head the Premier League title race.
Unfortunately, they also top the table for the number of yellow cards incurred for diving.
The Blues have picked up four bookings for simulation this season, leaving Jose Mourinho claiming there is a campaign to deny Chelsea penalties this season, after Cesc Fabregas was yellow carded yesterday despite some contact in the area.
Either way, as this Sky Sports graphic reveals, the Blues are unrivaled when it comes to the number of yellow cards for diving.
