United have more points though.

Best to compare at the end of the season.

you can discuss which team you think has had the tougher/easier fixtures so far this season.

I would say United have it tougher than Chelsea in the 2nd half of the season, purely based on the fact they have to play 'the big 3' away from home.

precisely

But, don't Chelsea have to play 2 of the big 3 away? So really, it's down to the fixture Chelsea - United. If United don't lose that, they maintain their advantage.

Er, Man Utd have to play 3 of the big 3 away

Er, Chelsea play away to Arsenal and Liverpool, as do United. So, the only difference against the big clubs is the match Chelsea - United.
If we count that it's because of games against the other big clubs giving Chelsea an advantage, it's only in the home game against United that they have that advantage, therefore, if United don't lose that, they stay in front.

Well ok, except that on paper Chelsea will be favourites for that game, and also I konw who I'd expect to get a result at Arsenal and Liverpool and it ain't utd

That statement will probably come back and bite you on the bum.
