The Premier League produced an unusual calendar-year table in 2025. While no trophies are awarded for annual standings, the results across the year offer a snapshot of form heading into 2026.<\/p>\n
Arsenal top the 2025 table with 83 points from 39 matches, putting them three clear of Manchester City, who sit on 80 points from 37 games. City have the superior goal difference, +48 to Arsenal’s +41, and would have challenged for first had they played the same number of fixtures as the north Londoners.<\/p>\n
Aston Villa occupy third with 76 points from 38 matches. Unai Emery\u2019s side averaged exactly two points per match last year and finished five points ahead of the reigning Premier League champions. Liverpool, despite securing the 2025 Premier League title, lie fourth on the annual list with 71 points from 38 matches, their season affected by a subdued finish last term and a difficult start to the current campaign under Arne Slot.<\/p>\n
Chelsea are fifth with 64 points from 38 games. Enzo Maresca\u2019s team won two trophies across the year but were inconsistent domestically. Newcastle finished the year with a trophy and sit sixth on 60 points.<\/p>\n
Crystal Palace collected 59 points from 37 matches and also lifted the FA Cup. Brighton and Everton both recorded 59 points as well; the Seagulls finished ahead of Everton on goals scored. Brentford (58 from 39) and Fulham (51 from 37) sit above Manchester United, who have 50 points from 38 matches as they work to recover after a difficult 2025 under Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n
Further down, Bournemouth have 49 points, Nottingham Forest 46 and Tottenham 39 from 37 matches. West Ham and Wolves managed 34 and 29 points respectively. Of the sides with fewer fixtures, Sunderland have 28 points from 18 matches, Leeds 20 from 18, Burnley 12 from 19 and Leicester 11 from 19. Ipswich and Southampton round out the year with seven and six points from 19 matches.<\/p>\n
The numbers underline how 2025 produced unexpected tables and mixed domestic fortunes despite several clubs collecting silverware.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
