The 2025-26 English Premier League Standings

The English Premier League 2025-26 season is knocking on the door as the top-flight is ready with its new arrivals and homegrown talents. In the 2024-25 season, there was turmoil for many big clubs, as Manchester City started their campaign as a mid-table club, which was their worst start of a season under Pep Guardiola. Liverpool FC were crowned as the champions of the 2024-25 season, which was their second Premier League title since the establishment of the Premier League in 1920.

The Premier League is one of the richest and historically well-documented among the football leagues across the world. The new season is starting with new hopes and elite competition, as the mid-tables will dream of becoming the best, and the elites will compete for a place in the top level, also crowned as the champions.

Last Season’s Stats:

Liverpool FC were crowned as the champions of the 2024-25 English Premier League campaign, and secured their spot for the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 alongside Arsenal FC, Manchester City, Chelsea FC, and Tottenham Hotspurs, as Hotspurs won the UEFA Europa League in the 2024-25 season against Manchester United, which leads them a direct qualification spot in the UEFA Champions League. However, Chelsea FC won the UEFA Conference League, which leads them to a direct qualification spot in the UEFA Europa League, although Chelsea FC also finished the 2024-25 Premier League campaign in 4th place among 20, so they also secured the UEFA Champions League spot, which leads to a direct qualification spot for the team which finished in the 6th spot. Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest will qualify for the UEFA Europa League as Aston Villa finished last season as the sixth team among 20, and Crystal Palace will replace Chelsea FC in the UEFA Europa League, as Crystal Palace won the FA Cup last season. Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton will compete in the EFL, which is the second division of English football, and Leeds United, Sunderland, and Burnley FC will replace the respective relegated teams.

2025-26 season Prediction

The big clubs are ready with their new signings and new tactics to compete at the elite level. Some big names will fight back this season with their elite signings. Some clubs are the favorites to top the English Premier League table, as per the football pundits. And as per our predictions, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspurs, Liverpool FC, and Arsenal FC, one of them will be crowned as the champions, as per their squad strength.

Manchester City have signed some top names and some youngsters to regain its bench strength. Rayan Cherki, Tijani Reijnders, and Rayan Ait Nouri. Rayan Cherki and Rejinders will be a good option in their midfield after the departure of Kevin De Bruyne to Napoli. Rayan Ait Nouri, who is known for his defensive solidity and passing, is also a good replacement for Kyle Walker, who left the club to join Burnley FC. Manchester City bought the players which were needed in the lineup, and this gives them a solid lineup to compete at the elite level.

Arsenal have recently signed Christian Mosquera, and the signing will give them defensive solidity, and he will be a good replacement for William Saliba. However, they also signed a striker, Viktor Gyokeres. The signing of Viktor Gyokeres is still the best signing for the Gunners for this window, as he can be a playmaker and a goal poacher, which makes him a proper fox in the box profile. Arsenal is also scouting Chelsea FC’s Noni Madueke. However, Arsenal have also signed Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard to solidify their midfield.

Tottenham Hotspurs have won the UEFA Europa League in the last season, and secured a spot in the Premier League; however, they have not signed big names yet, but in the near future, they will make their move in the window. However, Tottenham have signed Mohammed Kudus and are scouting Morgan Gibbs-White.

Liverpool FC are the reigning champions of the Premier League. However, they will surely want to win another PL title. They have signed Miloz Kerkerz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Florian Wirtz. These elite-level signings will surely help Liverpool to win another title, and they will be a perfect fit for Arne Slot’s tactics.
