Premier League Power Rankings: Who's Dominating After 11 Thrilling Gameweeks in 2025-26?

While eleven matches into a 38-game season might not appear significant, substantial changes rarely occur following the third international break in a Premier League campaign.

At this identical point in the 2024–25 season, Liverpool had secured a commanding lead at the summit that they would maintain throughout. The top four positions also remained static while Southampton stayed anchored at the bottom of the table.

This doesn't mean every club has already sealed their destiny this term—Crystal Palace occupied 18th position in November 2024 yet concluded the campaign ahead of both Europa League finalists Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. It would be shocking to witness Liverpool still in eighth come May's conclusion.

However, this pattern—extending well beyond the previous season—adds significance to the current standings after 11 fixtures. Here's the current state in 2025–26.

2025–26 Premier League Complete Standings

Arsenal might have witnessed their defensive dominance breached by Sunderland on Saturday—causing visible frustration for Mikel Arteta—yet they maintain their position at the summit with a comfortable margin.

The impressive sequence of clean sheets accumulated by the Gunners recently has overshadowed the redemption campaign Arteta's squad has undertaken so far. As September transitioned into October, Arsenal encountered a challenging four-match sequence against Newcastle United, West Ham, Fulham and Crystal Palace. In last season's equivalent fixtures, Arteta's team managed just two points from twelve available. This time, they secured victories in all four encounters.

Nevertheless, as Pep Guardiola correctly observed this weekend: "Championships aren't won in early November. They can be lost—but never won."

City demonstrated their championship pedigree with a commanding triumph over Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. While Guardiola's proven winners reduced Arsenal's advantage to merely four points, the reigning champions dropped twice that distance behind.

Arne Slot's struggling team finds itself trailing newly-promoted Sunderland, an ineffective Tottenham Hotspur and an Aston Villa squad that required over seven hours of Premier League action before netting their opening goal of the campaign.

Chelsea exemplified the tight nature of this Premier League table during Saturday evening. Before their evening match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Blues occupied ninth position. Following a comfortable 3–0 victory, they had surged to second place before being displaced again on Sunday.

Wolves face a considerable challenge to advance even one spot. With Vitor Pereira already dismissed, the Midlands club possesses merely two points and remains the sole team without a league victory across England's top seven divisions. Wins for Nottingham Forest and West Ham during the final weekend before November's international break have threatened to isolate Wolves further.

Newcastle may rank above Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League's league phase standings, yet they occupy a disappointing 14th position domestically. The Magpies sit just two points clear of the relegation zone following a disappointing 3–1 defeat to Brentford on Sunday.

The Bees also defeated Manchester United earlier this campaign but trail the Red Devils by two points. Despite maintaining the longest unbeaten streak of his management, Ruben Amorim insists United face numerous challenges. Rising above seventh position would represent progress—though they already sit higher than Liverpool.
