The club from the “Vitality” finished ninth in last season’s final standings with 56 points, based on additional criteria. Despite another wave of key player sales, they managed to start well after the summer break—but then went on a long winless streak. In the last round, however, they took points from Chelsea, finishing 2-2.
The London giant finished second in 2024/2025, as in the previous two campaigns, but this time not behind Manchester City, but behind Liverpool. However, things are going well this season. In the Champions League, the English side has a perfect record. In the League Cup, even with an experimental lineup, they advanced to the semifinals past Crystal Palace on penalties.
The main squad has been leading the EPL throughout, but their advantage narrowed in December. Since then, however, they haven’t dropped points, and they avenged their recent loss to Aston Villa by thrashing them 4-1.
Iraola’s men average 1.53 goals scored per game, but concede even more—1.84 per match. The Premier League leader scores an average of 1.95 goals per game, conceding just 0.63.
