The Premier League’s 2025 calendar-year table highlights just how poor Tottenham’s form has been.
Tottenham Hotspur’s woeful 2025 form has been underlined by their alarming position in the Premier League’s calendar-year standings.
The north London side finished the year 15th when results from the second half of last season and the opening months of the current campaign are combined. While Spurs enjoyed some positives in Europe, their domestic struggles were brutally exposed.
Ange Postecoglou’s team ended last season just one place above the relegation zone in 17th, and there has been little improvement since the summer. Thomas Frank’s inherited squad currently sit 13th, highlighting a continued lack of progress.
The statistics paint a bleak picture. Tottenham managed only 11 wins from 37 league matches in 2025, suffering 20 defeats and recording six draws. That return left Spurs with just 39 points over a frustrating and disappointing calendar year, placing them among the bottom three of the league’s ever-present clubs.
Across north London, the contrast is stark. Arsenal finished top of the 2025 calendar-year table after another steady campaign under Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners also lead the Premier League standings for the 2025/26 season. However, despite their impressive consistency, the long-awaited league title continues to elude them. Arsenal claimed 24 victories from 36 matches in 2025, with Tuesday’s emphatic 4–1 win over Aston Villa lifting them to an impressive 83 points.
That total leaves them three points clear of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, who recorded 25 wins during the year despite playing two fewer matches. Aston Villa followed closely in third place after collecting 23 victories and 76 points.
Liverpool finished fourth in the calendar-year table, despite lifting the Premier League trophy in May. Their ranking was affected by a poor spell between September and November, during which Arne Slot’s side lost six of seven league games and briefly slipped into the bottom half.
Chelsea and Newcastle ended the year in fifth and sixth respectively, while Crystal Palace enjoyed a landmark campaign by finishing seventh. Everton showed clear improvement after David Moyes’ return in January, winning 16 of their 39 matches, while Brighton, Brentford and Fulham all secured top-half finishes.
A year to forget
Manchester United endured a turbulent 2025 under Ruben Amorim. Defeat in the Europa League final in May was compounded by failure to qualify for Europe this season.
United placed 12th in the calendar-year table, managing just 13 wins from 38 matches and finishing with a negative goal difference. Their total of 50 points across a season’s worth of fixtures marked their worst calendar-year return in the Premier League era.
As expected, the newly promoted sides struggled most after spending much of the year outside the top flight, with Burnley finishing at the foot of the table.
