English Premier League Table, Matchweek 26: Top Three Battle Tightens

The competition for the top three spots in the English Premier League table after week 26 of the 2023-2024 season is intensifying.

Arsenal and Manchester City's victories have brought them closer to Liverpool, who currently lead the league. These three top clubs are separated by a very small margin in the latest standings.

Liverpool sits atop the table with 60 points after their Thursday, February 22nd, 2024 match against Luton Town, which they won 4-1.

Arsenal and Manchester City, playing on Saturday, February 24th, 2024, followed suit. Arsenal won 4-1 against Newcastle United, while Manchester City secured a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth.

Liverpool holds a one-point lead over Manchester City, who have 59 points. Manchester City, in turn, is only one point behind Arsenal.

This tight race for the top three positions makes a potential shift in rankings highly likely in the upcoming matches.

Aston Villa is currently in fourth place with 52 points, following their 4-2 win over Nottingham Forest. This victory also put them ahead of Tottenham Hotspur, whose match against Chelsea was postponed due to Chelsea's League Cup final.

Tottenham is in fifth place with 47 points, followed by Manchester United in sixth with 44 points. Manchester United's loss to Fulham (1-2) prevented them from closing the gap on Tottenham. However, a 1-1 draw between Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton benefited Manchester United.
