According to ESPN, positions 1-4 qualify for the Champions League, with some sources citing 5th place as also qualifying depending on England’s UEFA coefficient. Position 6 earns Europa League qualification, while 7th place secures a Conference League playoff spot. At the bottom, positions 18-20 face relegation to the Championship.
Manchester City and Arsenal are deadlocked at the top with identical records — same points, same wins, draws, losses, and goal difference. The tiebreaker comes down to goals scored, where City holds the edge with 66 to Arsenal’s 63.
Current Standings
The Premier League table reflects 20 clubs competing across 38 matchdays per team, totaling 380 matches each season. As of April 23, 2026, the data shows Manchester City and Arsenal level on 70 points, with Manchester United and Aston Villa tied on 58 points in third and fourth.
Top Teams
Manchester City leads the table on goal difference, having scored 66 goals compared to Arsenal’s 63. Arsenal boasts the league’s strongest defensive record with just 26 goals conceded in 33 matches. Erling Haaland continues to top the Golden Boot race for Manchester City, with Igor Thiago of Brentford and João Pedro of Chelsea his nearest challengers.
Premier League Fixtures
Seven matches are scheduled for April 24-25, 2026, rounding out the current matchday. The slate includes a mix of European qualification battles and survival clashes that could reshuffle both ends of the table.
| Date | Matchup | Competition Stakes |
|---|---|---|
| April 24-25 | Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest | Mid-table positioning |
| April 25 | Liverpool vs Crystal Palace | European spot contention |
| April 25 | Arsenal vs Newcastle United | Title race / European push |
| April 25 | Wolves vs Tottenham | Survival / European qualification |
The most high-stakes fixture is Arsenal’s visit from Newcastle United on April 25. A City win combined with an Arsenal slip would give City breathing room at the top. Meanwhile, Wolves need a result against Tottenham to keep their slim survival hopes alive.
Wolves sit 20th with just 17 points. Their match against Tottenham on April 25 is effectively a must-win if they want to avoid automatic relegation with six matches remaining.
Upcoming Matches
Beyond April 25, the fixture list extends into early May. The full schedule is available through Sky Sports, which maintains an updated calendar covering all 380 matches across the season.
This Week’s Schedule
Manchester City’s recent form reads W W W D D, suggesting strong momentum heading into their next fixture. Arsenal, by contrast, showed L L W W W — a wobble in the middle of April before recovering. The Gunners’ visit from Newcastle represents a chance to regain ground at the summit.
Premier League Results
The most recent matchday produced notable results, including a narrow Manchester City victory that kept them level on points with Arsenal. A 3-0 Brighton win over Chelsea reshuffled the top-half pack, while Bournemouth and Leeds United played out a draw that benefited neither side’s ambitions.

Latest Scores
Manchester City’s 1-0 win over Burnley on April 21 kept the champions level on points with Arsenal at the top. The scoreline flattered Burnley, who remain 19th with just 20 points and a goal difference of minus-34. This was Burnley’s 22nd loss of the season.
Recent Games
Bournemouth’s 2-2 draw with Leeds United on April 21 left both clubs in limbo — Bournemouth in seventh with 49 points and Leeds in 15th with 40. Neither side gained ground on the teams above them, with the result suggesting a mid-table finish for both.

Premier League Classification
The Premier League uses a standard points system: three points for a win, one for a draw, none for a loss. The standings are sorted first by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored. At season’s end, the top positions determine European competition qualification, while the bottom three face relegation to the Championship.
Champions League Qualification
Per ESPN, positions 1-4 qualify directly for the Champions League group stage. Fifth place may also qualify depending on how England’s clubs perform in European competitions that season. The Premier League’s coefficient ranking determines this additional spot, which varies year to year.
European Competition Spots
Sixth place earns Europa League qualification, while seventh place secures a Conference League playoff berth. The exact allocation depends on English clubs’ performances in UEFA competitions — if more English teams progress further, the country may earn extra spots in subsequent seasons.
If Manchester City and Arsenal both qualify for the Champions League next season, fifth place becomes critically important — it could mean an extra English club in Europe’s elite competition or nothing at all, depending on the coefficient.
Relegation Battle
Burnley in 19th place with 20 points and Wolves in 20th with 17 points are effectively doomed without a dramatic turnaround. Both clubs have six or fewer matches remaining, and the points gap to 17th place is too large to bridge in normal circumstances.
Premier League 25 26 Season
The 2025/26 Premier League season continues with matchday 33-34 data as of late April 2026. With roughly four to six matches remaining for most clubs, the title race and European qualification spots remain the primary storylines. The relegation picture, by contrast, appears largely settled.
Future Fixtures
Beyond the April 24-25 slate, fixtures extend into May and beyond. The full schedule through the remaining matchdays is available on the official Premier League site and sports aggregators like 365Scores. No major schedule disruptions are anticipated.
Season Preview
Manchester City entered the season as defending champions and have maintained their position at or near the top throughout. Arsenal’s title challenge represents their strongest bid in years, while Aston Villa’s push for Champions League football marks a significant improvement from previous seasons.

What experts say
Arsenal have emerged as the standout performers in the 2025/26 Premier League season so far, opening up a clear lead at the top thanks to consistent results and one of the league’s strongest defensive records.
— LiveScore editorial
The Golden Boot race is being led by Man City’s Erling Haaland, who has continued his prolific scoring form this season.
— LiveScore editorial
What these assessments make clear is that the 2025/26 season has been defined by two forces: Arsenal’s defensive steel and Haaland’s relentless scoring. Whether one proves more decisive than the other will likely determine who lifts the trophy in May.
