The 2024/2025 Premier League season has been one of the most unpredictable. The 38th-game season took many unexpected turns for most of the big teams and showed the strength of some clubs.
The Premier League is English football’s top division, founded in 1992. The league contains 20 teams that compete for the Premier League Cup. The Premier League is linked to some other leagues. The first five teams on the Premier League table qualify for the UEFA Champions League, while the last three go on to relegation. Relegated teams are removed from the Premier League for the next season and replaced with three teams from the Championship, the second tier.
The Team Performances In The Premier League 2024/2025 Season
The Premier League for this season started with great optimism for certain clubs, but as the season unfolded, many hopes were lost.
Liverpool leads the Premier League with 83 points based on the present ranking. Arsenal is second on the table, with 68 points, followed by Newcastle, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Man City. The above-listed teams are the six leading clubs in the Premier League. According to the league’s rules, the first five teams on the table qualify to play in the Champions League.
Most of the teams this season were astounding, while others fell short of their fans’ expectations. Strong teams like Manchester City and Manchester United didn’t do as well as expected. There was so much hope for Man City to be at the top of the list for this season’s Premier League, mainly since they had carried the cup for three consecutive seasons, but all hopes were dashed, as they ended up with the 6th position on the table.
Arsenal did so well this season; unfortunately, they couldn’t carry any cup. The next season promises to be a good one for them seeing as they are more reformed now.
Other teams in the league, according to their performances, include;
- Nottm Forest
- Brenford
- Brighton
- Bournemouth
- Fulham
- Crystal Palace
- Everton
- Wolves
- West Ham
- Man United
- Tottenham
- Ipswich Town
- Leicester City
- Southampton
Some of the top teams performed really poorly this season. Man United’s finishing in the 16th position disappointed many fans. However, fortunately for the team, if they win the Europa League, Man United may qualify for the upcoming Champions League.
Tottenham, one of the strongest English teams, also disappointed their fans, as they barely escaped being relegated.
Relegated Teams
A club undergoes relegation when they are among the last three teams in the Premier League. According to the current outcome of the Premier League results, Southampton, Leicester City, and Ipswich Town will be relegated. While fans, and even team members of the relegated clubs, weren’t exactly hoping to win the league, going on relegation is an outcome they never expected. Most fans have expressed their disappointment on various social media platforms like Reddit. An example is the Ipswich Town subreddit, which is filled with disappointment and complaints from fans.
If you are wondering why being relegated is so dreadful, here’s why: Relegated clubs are removed from the Premier League and replaced with 3 teams that performed well in the Championship League, the second tier. What this means is that they will not be part of the next Premier League, or any other, until they do well in the Championship.
The three teams that will replace the relegated teams are: Burnley, Leeds United, and Sheffield United. Burnley and Leeds secured automatic promotion from the Championship, while Sheffield qualified by winning the play-offs.

The best player performances also include categories like highest goal scorer, best goal keeper and many others.
