TEAM | RANKING | ||
---|---|---|---|
![]() |
20 (20) | Sunderland: Jermain Defoe says he needs to play in the Premier League to represent England, which means the Black Cats would be hit extra hard by relegation. | |
![]() |
19 (19) | Middlesbrough: Finally scored a goal against Manchester United… but allowed three. |
|
![]() |
18 (18) | Hull City: Once Tom Huddlestone was sent off, the Tigers essentially quit against Everton. That’s troubling for manager Marco Silva. |
|
![]() |
17 (15) | Swansea City: A disappointing loss that threatens to halt Swans’ momentum toward safety. | |
![]() |
16 (11) | Watford: Losers of three in four, and by almost any manner possible. The latest? Troy Deeney‘s pinpoint header into his own goal. | |
![]() |
15 (16) | Crystal Palace: Another win! But it’s a bit alarming that it took an own goal for Palace to finish the job against Watford. |
|
![]() |
14 (14) | Burnley: The Clarets haven’t won since the tail end of January. |
|
![]() |
13 (12) | West Ham United: Slaven Bilic‘s future has to be in question as the Irons have regressed to below even Sam Allardyce era levels. | |
![]() |
12 (17) | Bournemouth: Winners of consecutive PL matches for the first time since March 2016, and not a moment too soon for Eddie Howe‘s Cherries. |
|
![]() |
11 (13) | Leicester City: Six points clear of safety and facing Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. | |
![]() |
10 (10) | Southampton: Lost to a fine Spurs side after winning two-straight, and probably was good enough to get a point. | |
![]() |
9 (8) | Stoke City: A gut punch to lose late to Chelsea. | |
![]() |
8 (5) | Arsenal: Matches-in-hand keep Top Four dreams in play, but the Gunners have been awful. | |
![]() |
7 (9) | West Bromwich Albion: Beating Arsenal after a pair of losses is the definition of rebounding in style. | |
![]() |
6 (3) | Liverpool: An Adam Lallana missed sitter away from a much improved feeling, but that’s the Liverpool season in a nutshell. |
|
![]() |
5 (6) | Everton: Given a remaining Merseyside Derby and the inconsistent play of both Liverpool and Arsenal, the Top Five isn’t out of the question. |
|
![]() |
4 (4) | Manchester City: Looked very much like a team nursing UCL wounds in the 1-1 draw against Liverpool, but it sure could have been worse. | |
![]() |
3 (7) | Manchester United: Last Premier League loss? October 23. | |
![]() |
2 (2) | Tottenham Hotspur: Scrapped a 2-1 win against tricky Southampton. Virtually identical season as Chelsea in terms of goals, goals conceded… just not wins. | |
![]() |
1 (1) | Chelsea: Have won 10 of 15 on the road in league play after wins at Stoke and West Ham. |
