Comparing the 2025\u201326 Premier League table with 2024\u201325 shows pronounced movement rather than gradual change. Manchester United recorded the most dramatic improvement, gaining 29 more points and climbing 12 places after a disastrous previous campaign under Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese boss departed at the start of 2026 with United just outside the top-five, and Michael Carrick arrived for his second interim managerial spell. Carrick won 12 of 17 league games during the second half of the season, as United claimed a league-high 39 points after his appointment. Back in the Champions League thanks to a third-place finish, Man Utd earned a whopping 29 more points in 2025\u201326 and finished 12 places higher in the table. No wonder Carrick got the job permanently.<\/p>\n
Only six clubs increased their points totals compared with 2024\u201325. Arsenal added 11 points to secure the title, while Man City increased by seven and moved up one place. Tottenham managed three extra points despite a difficult campaign. Everton and Bournemouth each recorded one more point, with Bournemouth finishing three places higher and qualifying for European competition for the first time.<\/p>\n
Not all positional changes matched points trends. Aston Villa dropped a point yet improved two places, rising from sixth to fourth. Brentford lost three points but advanced one position and narrowly missed European qualification. Fulham and Brighton both lost points; Brighton were eight points worse but still secured a Conference League berth.<\/p>\n
Several clubs suffered significant falls. Chelsea and Newcastle each lost 17 points, Nottingham Forest dropped 21 points, Wolves fell by 22, and Liverpool declined by 24 points to finish fifth. West Ham\u2019s four-point fall had particularly harsh consequences, as it was enough to send them to the second tier.<\/p>\n
These shifts underline the volatility of the league between the two seasons: clubs improved or regressed in ways that rarely followed simple expectations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
