The Premier Season Wrapped Up

Henry Tuberfield, 26

1.  Liverpool

Liverpool have secured the league, making it their second premier league win. Sustaining a record of 25/7/2, Liverpool has dominated the League. Their most prominent players are Diaz, Van Dijk, and Ballon D'or contender Mohammad Salah. Salah has carried the Liverpool season being a contender for the golden boot; so far, he has scored 28 goals and assisted 18 times in 35 games, putting him second in all of europe. 

2.  Arsenal 

Arsenal currently sit in second with 67 points. Their comfortable second has been dwindling ever since Saka has returned from injury. Their run in the UCL has come to an end, with a score of 3-1 on aggregate. Their good run has allowed them fifth place for the champions league next year. Arsenal have destroyed smaller teams and have managed a draw or a close loss all season, giving them a goal difference of 33. But as the season is coming to close, Arsenal’s form is starting to fade. It’s going to be interesting to see where they end up, but it's definitely possible for them to fall from second.

3.  Nottingham

Nottingham have had the most surprising turnout of any team this season. They went from barely escaping relegation to being a UCL contender. Players like Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs White have had amazing seasons; the English International and The New Zealand International have turned this club around the fastest of any club. They currently sit in 6th, but due to the strength of their run in, a European spot is definitely possible for the club. There are signs of bottling, since they lost two and drew one of the last three games to easy teams.

4.  Man City

Man City have had a disappointing season. From being prem league winners and UCL contenders last season, to barely fighting for a European spot next year, it’s been a ride. This “untouchable” team has had its struggles earlier in the season with six straight defeats, something that hasn’t happened in 17 seasons for the club. The club has also been charged with 115 charges of unfair budget, spending leading to major issues within the club. These charges will take effect over the next summer and players like Rodri and Haaland with 400k per week salaries will certainly hurt the club. The club has managed to stay a contender though, as they regained their form in 2025. With a Ballon D'or winner, Rodri and super stars such as Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Phil Foden, it's still hard to fall that far as the club has managed top ten for the whole season.

5.  Aston Villa

Aston Villa have had a slow start to the season. Their strength has come from their January signings where Unai Emery has signed Donyell Malen and loaned Marcus Rashford, Marco Ascenio, and Axel Disasi. These players have been crucial for Aston Villa as their form has been one of the best in the league in 2025. They currently sit in 7th and are desperately fighting for a European spot. They had a good run in the UCL only going out to PSG on 5-4 aggregate and lost to Crystal Palace in the semi finals of the FA cup. It’ll be exciting to see if these loans want to stay with Villa or leave.

6.  Newcastle

Newcastle’s season has been a surprising turnout, with star player Isak Alexander having a historic season. He has scored 23 goals for Newcastle leading them to the fourth position. Newcastle's run-in is one of the harder ones of the 6 fighting for the top five. Since Liverpool has won the league that only leads 4 spots open and since Newcastle's run-in with Aston Villa and losing 4-1 there are doubts about Newcastle’s ability to secure a top 5 spot. Isak Alexander’s role in Newcastle has been absolutely crucial but rumors of him moving to clubs like Barcelona and Arsenal will likely result in a poor performance next season as he is one of the best out the box strikers in Europe right now.

7.  Chelsea

Chelsea have been a very confusing team this season. Sometimes they absolutely hammer some hard opponents and other times they get absolutely hammered. Cole Palmer has been Chelsea’s key player with 22 goal involvements and 11 assists. But when Cole Palmer is not on form the team really suffers. Chelsea have one of the hardest run-ins of the whole premier league but they have shown promising signs of good form recently. Their run in the Europa Conference League has been very exciting as they have reached the final and will face Real Betis.

8.  Fulham

Fulham's season has been nothing short of unremarkable. They have been the best of the middle table teams. They have been out fairly early in every competition they have competed in. They have made no major signings and cannot compete for a European spot.

9.  Brighton

Brighton started the season out strong managing to keep a third place spot for a few weeks but quickly fell to the middle of the table. Like Chelsea, they have been a bogey team for most teams, but more often than not, they lose. Fabian Huzier took over the summer, and they have looked more solid then previous seasons. If Bridgton wants to remain at this leave, they’ll have to sign some new talent. Player Karou Mitoma has been a solid player for the club after coming back from injury, but other than him, there have been no stand out players. 

10. Brentford

Brentford’s season has revolved around their two superstars: Mbeumo and Wissa. These players have truly carried the Brentford season, scoring 18 goals each. They have signed a few players, but nothing noteworthy has come from it. Brentford went from a defensive sided team to an aggressive all out attack team. With their two fast break stars, Brentford have managed to have a much better season than last year.

11. Bournemouth

Like Fulham, Bournemouth has been pretty uneventful and boring to watch. Only ever managing one or two goals a game, the team has struggled to beat any of the better clubs. They have exceeded overall expectations, as well as their position from last year. Bournemouth have also had a hard last few games, and with a final form, they’ve hit these last games against the teams that really need the points. 

12. Wolves

Wolves had a rough start to the season facing relegation, but somehow the team has hit the best stroke of form. Wolves have been one of the best in form teams in Europe over the last few weeks. Their star player Cunha has put unbelievable talent into the team. They had absolutely destroyed everyone they encountered in the last few weeks, scoring 4-2, 3-0 and 1-0. If the team can carry this form into next season, they will be contenders for the UCL or even the league.

13. Crystal Palace

Crystal has had a very typical Crystal season. They have lost to most of the teams at the top of the league and destroyed teams at the bottom. They can hit form against good teams but never seem to pull off the win. This is especially true with their run in the FA Cup beating Aston Villa to get to the final. England’s Eze has played very well for Crystal Palace this season. A transfer may be in his future, but for now, it looks like he is staying there.

14. Everton

Everton, like Wolves, had a rough start, being in that relegation zone. But over the January trade period, they brought in new manager David Moyes. Everton being one of the six teams to not be relegated ever made their owners sack the previous manager super early. This move paid off, since Moyes turned the team around from a bottom 15 team to a top 10 team. Although they won’t finish in the top 10, their form has been better and more consistent in 2025. 

15. Man United

Man United is one of the most historic teams in soccer history. This season is worrying for how they will face in the future. They have played horribly all season and don’t look to be getting better, as they have sent failed stars Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa on loan and Antony to Real Betis. They both have picked up incredible form, and it looks like Rashford wants to stay at Aston Villa permanently. On a better note, the team is playing well in the Europa League, where they have advanced to the finals.

16. Tottenham

Tottenham have had a season similar to Man United. This once historic team is facing an outlash against their poor performance. They fall dangerously close to relegation, but luckily for them, the 3 teams that came up from promotion have been the worst three teams in Premier League history and are already relegated again. This team has done well in the Europa League, where they will have Man United in the finals, but how this club will look next season is unknown.

17. West Ham

West Ham has been the poorest team in the premier league. They have lost almost every game, except the games against the bottom three. They have no new signings, nor new managers, and they are a pretty solid lock for 17th. For a London club with such a big fan base, they really don’t use their money wisely. 

18. Ipswich

Ipswich is one of the three teams that has been promoted from the Championship league below the Premier League. This team gave it their all to stay above the relegation line, but it just wasn’t enough. The quality of teams in the Premier League versus the Championship is hard to adjust to in such a short amount of time and will be leaving to join the championship once again. If you're a fan of Ipswich, you should be proud.

19. Leicester

Leicester City is a team with a lot of history, even winning the 15-16 prem. This team, like the other relegated teams, could not adjust to the hard play style of the Premier League. Notably, player James Vardy, announced his retirement at the end of the season. He is one of the most notable players in the last 20 years, but his team could not keep up and will fall once again.

20. Southampton 

Southampton has been one of the worst sides in Premier League history. If they end the season with 11 points, they will be the second worst team in league history. Nothing notable from this team. They have literally been hammered by every team.
