Comparing every Premier League club’s points & goals tallies to the same stage last season
Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest are the Premier League’s most-improved sides of 2024-25 when you stack up their points tallies to the same stage last season, while Tottenham, Crystal Palace, Wolves, Arsenal and Manchester City compare the least favourably.
It’s still early days so far this season, but it’s been anything but predictable at this stage. Liverpool have opened up a five-point gap at the summit over perennial champions Manchester City, while Chelsea and Arsenal are a further four points behind.
The likes of Nottingham Forest, Brighton and Fulham are all upsetting the odds to sit up near the Champions League qualification spots, ahead of bigger-spending clubs including Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Manchester United.
Behind Liverpool and City, things remain incredibly congested and yet to take shape. Just four points separate Chelsea up in third and Manchester United down in 13th.
But which sides are doing best when you compare it to the standards set last season? And which are doing the worst?
We’ve jumped in our time machine to go back to the same date last year to see how things shaped up after 11 matches last season.
The most striking differences to the table today were Tottenham riding high up in second, still riding high after Ange Postecoglou’s excellent start.
On the inverse, Chelsea were down in 10th following a slow start made by Mauricio Pochettino, while Forest and Fulham were languishing in the bottom half of the table.

NewsChina: Farming tradition meets innovation in China's vegetable heartland
China - November 27, 2024 Farming tradition meets innovation in China's vegetable heartland (Voice_over) From purple sprouting broccoli to tomatoes on the vine. This annual vegetable fair is a one-stop shop for China's agricultural traditions and innovations. (Sound_bite) Zhang Fuguang, Worker, Yurun Mengyang Vegetable Market: "Traditional broccoli is round and compact. This is a newly developed variety. It can be eaten raw because it's green and natural." (Voice_over) Location - Pengzhou, a small city on the Chengdu Plain - a historic agricultural hub, and now, one of China's major vegetable bases. The city has a cultivation area of more than 500 square kilometers, yielding an annual output of more than two million tons. (Sound_bite) Tao Yuan, Reporter: "Vegetables here don't just stay in the farmland. The city has partnered with leading agricultural research institutions to develop new varieties in the lab." (Voice_over) This laboratory is designed to support the high-quality development of the Pengzhou vegetable industry. Researchers here are working to tackle key challenges, such as food safety and the effect of climate change. (Sound_bite) Song Zhanfeng, Director, Vegetable Research Center, Horticulture Institute of Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences: "In recent years, what we've observed most frequently is the irregularity of high temperatures, low temperatures, and rainfall. This lack of pattern in the climate makes it difficult for scientists to conduct research and for local farmers to grow crops. Without a predictable pattern, it's hard to manage things properly. Such environmental changes affect plant growth significantly." (Voice_over) This study is focuses on stress resistance, developing crops that can thrive under extreme weather conditions, such as high and low temperatures, excessive rainfall, or water scarcity. The goal is to identify and enhance the genetic traits that make these crops more resilient. (Sound_bite) Song Zhanfeng, Director, Vegetable Research Center, Horticulture Institute of Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences: "We artificially create a high-temperature or low-temperature environment for it to grow in. Then we observe how it performs in those conditions. After that, we conduct genetic modification and run tests to see whether it expresses the desired traits. Once successful, we apply this technology to our vegetable varieties." (Voice_over) A testament to how science and innovation can shape the future of one of humanity's oldest industries.
