Liverpool, managed by Arne Slot, follows closely in second place with 85 points as well, although with a slightly inferior goal difference. Slot's team has been prolific in front of goal, netting 92 goals throughout the year. Manchester City, despite their recent struggles, finished third with 82 points, highlighting their consistent attacking prowess and solid defensive record.
Chelsea had a strong year, finishing fourth in the calendar year standings, thanks in part to a solid finish under Mauricio Pochettino and a promising start under new coach Enzo Maresca. Fulham and AFC Bournemouth also had notable years, consistently performing above expectations and outdoing traditional heavyweights like Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.
Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United had inconsistent seasons, with Spurs struggling to find consistency despite flashes of brilliance, and Manchester United securing only 14 wins from 37 matches to finish 10th. The newly promoted teams, including Leicester City, Southampton, and Ipswich Town, found life in the Premier League challenging and are currently battling to avoid relegation.
