The Premier League never fails to deliver drama, surprises, and storylines from top to bottom. While titles are won and relegations suffered, every club has its own narrative – and sometimes, a single statistic captures that story better than words.
From Arsenal’s goal-scoring struggles to Liverpool’s title glory, and from Tottenham’s long-awaited trophy to Southampton’s historic collapse, here are 20 stats that define each club’s 2024/25 season – told in just three lines apiece.

Kai Havertz led the team with just nine league goals. It marked the first time since 1923/24 that Arsenal’s top scorer failed to reach double digits. Despite finishing high in the table, their lack of a clinical striker was a major talking point.
Villa went unbeaten in 21 straight home matches across all competitions. It was their longest home streak since 1977. Unai Emery turned Villa Park into a true fortress throughout the campaign.
The Bees scored 66 league goals, their best attacking output in the Premier League era. A major leap in their offensive evolution. Their high press and quick transitions made them a thrilling team to watch.

Brighton won 23 points from losing positions and had 25 goal involvements by substitutes. They led the league in both categories, highlighting their depth and resilience. Roberto De Zerbi’s tactical tweaks paid off repeatedly throughout matches.
Bournemouth

Bournemouth scored 10 goals from high turnovers – the most in the Premier League. Their pressing game was among the most aggressive in the league. It showcased their transformation under Andoni Iraola into a front-foot team.
Chelsea

Ipswich kept just two clean sheets all season – the fewest in the league. Defensive fragility was their undoing. They simply couldn’t cope with Premier League attacking quality.

Jarrod Bowen was involved in 21 of West Ham’s 46 league goals (46%). Only Mohamed Salah had a higher individual share (55%). His contributions were vital in keeping West Ham clear of danger.
