Liverpool and Chelsea are among the biggest losers as the 2026 Premier League table shows a tough time ahead for FOUR big clubs.
The 2026 Premier League table is out, and it looks tough for some big clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Since Arsenal won the 2025/26 Premier League title, it’s no surprise they’re at the top of the yearly table. Mikel Arteta’s team has done great with 16 wins, 4 draws, and just 3 losses in 23 games, earning 52 points.
Manchester City are close behind in second with 50 points, winning 14, drawing 8, and losing only 2 in their 24 games. They’ve had both Pep Guardiola and new coach Enzo Maresca in charge this year.
Manchester United, under Michael Carrick, had a slow start this season but still sit third with 45 points from 23 matches (13 wins, 6 draws, 4 losses). Surprise package Bournemouth are fourth with 37 points after drawing 13, winning 8, and losing only 2.
Brighton and Leeds share fifth and sixth with 35 points each. Liverpool fans might be unhappy seeing their team in seventh with 34 points. They’ve only won eight of their 24 games, drawing 10 and losing 6. Under former coach Arne Slot and now Andoni Iraola, Liverpool hasn’t found consistent form.
Nottingham Forest, managed by Sean Dyche, Vítor Pereira, and now Oliver Glasner, are ninth with 31 points. Sunderland, after an impressive return to the Premier League, sit tenth with 30 points.
Chelsea had a tough year and are 11th with 29 points, just ahead of Newcastle in 12th with 28 points. Everton, Aston Villa, and Fulham are close together in 13th, 14th, and 15th place with 27 points each. West Ham, now relegated, are 16th with 25 points from 19 games.
Crystal Palace, despite winning the Conference League last season, struggle at home and sit 17th with 22 points. Spurs are 18th with 18 points, while Wolves, also relegated, are 19th with 17 points. Burnley, who won only one game before going down, are last among the regular Premier League teams in 20th with 10 points.
The three newcomers—Hull City, Ipswich Town, and Coventry City—are at the bottom (21st to 23rd), having played only a few games this season.
