The 2026-27 Premier League campaign is now 10 games in, and a fascinating graphic shows how each club’s points tally compares to the same point last season.
This season, Arsenal lead the way in the title race, with Brighton and Manchester City the closest challengers. Meanwhile, Manchester United are languishing in the relegation zone and have sacked Michael Carrick.
But where were those, and every other team, at the same point during the 2025-26 season? Well, the Premier League have posted a fascinating graphic which shows the full table after 10 games last season next to the same table from the current campaign.
20 – 16
Crystal Palace are rooted to the bottom of the table after 10 games, a significant drop from 9th place at the same stage last year. The Eagles have taken just seven points from a possible 30, which has cost Pierre Sage his job.
Joining them in the relegation zone are Sunderland and Manchester United. Both enjoyed strong starts last year, but they have 10 and nine points fewer this time out, respectively.
Newly promoted Coventry City don’t have anything to compare with their nine points, while Nottingham Forest have actually taken three more points in the first 10 games despite Oliver Glasner’s early struggles.

Ipswich Town and Hull City have enjoyed good starts to life back in the English top flight. They sit in 13th and 14th, above Alvaro Arbeloa’s Fulham.
The Cottagers, despite teething issues after Marco Silva’s departure, are in the exact same league position (15th) with just one point fewer than they had last term.
Newcastle United and Tottenham may have ambitions of playing European football in the near future, but they sit 12th and 11th in the table as it stands. The Magpies are only one point worse off, but Spurs had five more points on the board under Thomas Frank in 2025-26.

Unai Emery’s Aston Villa are making a habit of slow starts to the Premier League season. After 10 matches in 25/26, the Villans had 15 points. This year, they have 13.
Leeds United are loving life under Daniel Farke now, who was under pressure just 10 games into last season. The change in mood and fortunes on the pitch at Elland Road is evident, as they sit seven places and three points better off.
Brentford and Bournemouth are among the most impressive stories in the top flight. Keith Andrews has improved on his start to last season by a single point, while Marco Rose has taken just three points less than Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth last term.
Everton are one of the clubs to have made the biggest improvements. Not only are David Moyes’ side threatening to challenge for European football with the likes of Thierno Barry and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall impressing, but they also have four more points.

Xabi Alonso and Andoni Iraola are still settling into their new jobs at Chelsea and Liverpool respectively. Both have done similar jobs to their predecessors after 10 games, as Chelsea have one point less this year and Liverpool have the exact same tally.
Manchester City and Arsenal have both claimed two extra points this time around. The Citizens were second last season, but their extra points aren’t enough to say the same now.
Instead, the closest challengers to Mikel Arteta’s champions are Brighton, the only club to take points from Arsenal so far. The Seagulls were in 10th place at this stage last season, but are now sitting second, with seven additional points.
