Premier League table 2026/27 season: England, points and home and away records

Premier League table: how to read points and goal difference

The gap from top to bottom is 22 points. Arsenal lead on 27 with a difference of +10; Sunderland sit last on 5. Manchester City are second, 6 points behind.

Brighton & Hove Albion score most with 24 goals. Arsenal defend best, conceding 5, while Crystal Palace have shipped 21 — the spread between those two says how uneven the league is at the back.

A club takes 1.36 points per match on average and scores 12.8 goals across the season. The median is 12 points (Newcastle United), with 8 clubs above it. The median describes a league better than the mean does: one runaway side pulls the mean up and barely moves the median.

The drop zone is 4 points from safety: Coventry City sit 17th on 9, against Sunderland on 5. Those are the numbers that decide the closing weeks.

Premier League home and away: split points

The Premier League table recomputes separately for home fixtures and for away ones. They are the same matches split by venue, so points in the two tables always sum back to the overall one.

Arsenal take the most at home, 15 points from 5 matches, while Arsenal lead away on 12 — more often different clubs than you would expect.

Brentford depend on their ground most: 10 points at home against 4 away, a gap of 6. Liverpool show the smallest split at -5. Across the league a club takes 1.7 more points at home than away.

Premier League: goals, averages and difference

Across 95 matches the league has produced 255 goals, 2.68 per game. Home sides win 42% of the time, both teams score in 48%, and 46% finish over 2.5.

Hull City carry the flattest goal difference at 0 — clubs on those numbers usually sit mid-table, equally far from the title and the drop.

Premier League: division size and what it changes

The size of a division changes how its figures read. With 20 clubs each plays 10 matches, and a run of three or four results moves a position further than it would in a league twice the size: the sample is smaller, so chance weighs more.

For the same reason the points gap between neighbouring places tends to be narrower here and the middle of the table reorders more often. Goal difference is especially useful in a division this size, because it accumulates across every match and depends less on who a club happened to face recently.

Comparing this division with others on absolute numbers — goals scored, points taken — means little where the number of rounds differs. What compares is the relative measures: points per match, scoring rate, the share of draws.

England: the divisions and where Premier League sits

We cover 4 divisions in England. This is the top flight. Below it run EFL Championship, EFL League One, EFL League Two, computed on the same rules.

Brentford have drawn most at 5, Arsenal fewest at 0. Arsenal defend best on the road, conceding 3 away from home.

Premier League: match results and head-to-head

The widest result of the season is Brighton & Hove Albion against Crystal Palace, 5-0, a margin of 5. The highest-scoring match is Manchester City against Sunderland at 5-3, 8 goals in all.

26 of 95 matches ended level, 27%. The draw rate is among the steadiest numbers a league produces: it moves less from season to season than goals scored or final positions do.

Any two clubs can be compared in the panel alongside, which reads the same results grid the home and away tables are computed from.
