May 30, 2025 Oliver Obel

The 2024–25 Premier League season has reached its end, and with it comes the chance to reflect on each club’s campaign. From relegation woes to championship glory, here’s our definitive ranking of all 20 teams—starting from the bottom.

20. Manchester United – FFFFFF-

An absolutely abysmal season for the Red Devils. Crashing in the Europa League final and finishing in the bottom half of the table, Manchester United look broken in every department.

19. Tottenham Hotspur – F

Despite a European run, Spurs had a nightmare of a domestic season. Ange Postecoglou’s tactics failed to deliver consistency, and the club languished near the relegation zone.

18. Ipswich Town – F

A return to the Premier League ended in disappointment. Ipswich looked out of their depth from the start and never recovered.

17. Leicester City – F

Back in the top flight, Leicester’s stay was short-lived. Managerial changes and poor form ensured a swift return to the Championship.

16. Southampton – F

The Saints were among the worst performers in Premier League history. Just two wins all season and the worst goal differential sealed their fate.

15. Manchester City – D

A season well below the club’s elite standards. City never got into the title race and risk finishing outside the top four.

14. West Ham United – D

Another campaign of unfulfilled potential for the Hammers. Despite squad depth, they lacked cohesion and a clear identity throughout the season.

13. Wolverhampton Wanderers – C

Wolves were reborn under Vitor Pereira after a dire start. Survival was the goal, and Pereira achieved it by unleashing the squad’s attacking talents.

12. Everton – C

David Moyes brought discipline and stability to a previously sinking Everton. They achieved mid-table security and prepared for the move to their new stadium.

11. Chelsea – C

The Blues flirted with success early on but collapsed in the second half of the season. Enzo Maresca’s honeymoon ended as key players underperformed and depth became an issue.

10. Arsenal – C

Finishing second should feel like success, but Arsenal never truly challenged Liverpool. Arteta’s side lacked the killer edge when it mattered most.

9. Brentford – C+

Without Ivan Toney, Brentford still managed a mid-table season. Their attack remained vibrant, but defensive frailties cost them a better finish.

8. Crystal Palace – B-

A poor start turned historic as Palace won their first-ever FA Cup. The season ended brightly, and optimism is high heading into next year.

7. Bournemouth – B

A strong mid-season run had fans dreaming of Europe. While they faded late, Bournemouth showed real promise under Iraola.

6. Brighton – B

Despite losing key players and adjusting to a new manager, Brighton stayed comfortably in the top 10. Their consistency was commendable.

5. Fulham – B

Fulham punched above their weight, beating top teams and improving on last season. However, dropped points against weaker sides limited their ceiling.

4. Aston Villa – B+

Unai Emery has transformed Villa into a serious European contender. Strong domestic form and a Champions League push earned them high praise.

3. Newcastle United – A-

Ending a 70-year trophy drought with the Carabao Cup was massive. Their resurgence in the league made it a season to remember on Tyneside.

2. Nottingham Forest – A+

From relegation candidates to European hopefuls, Forest’s turnaround was spectacular. Nuno Espirito Santo deserves full credit for the club’s transformation.

1. Liverpool – A+

Champions under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool’s season was near perfect. With a smart tactical shift and player development, the Reds reigned supreme once again.
