Premier League Table

Now the results may not come as such a surprise, but it is interesting to see how many points each team has sustained during their time in England’s top division.

From 10th place with 1298 points in total, to first with a whopping 2441 points. Let’s take a look at the top 10 Premier League points totally of all time! Here is the All-Time Premier League Table since 1992.

10. West Ham United – 1298 points

West Ham have been winners of the FA Cup three times, in 1964, 1975, and 1980, and have also been runners-up twice, in 1923, and 2006. The club have reached two major European finals, winning the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1965 and finishing runners-up in the same competition in 1976. West Ham also won the Intertoto Cup in 1999.

They are one of eight clubs never to have fallen below the second tier of English football, spending 61 of 93 league seasons in the top flight, up to and including the 2018–19 season. The club’s highest league position to date came in 1985–86, when they achieved third place in the then First Division.

9. Aston Villa – 1419 points

Another team that have narrowly avoided relegation on several occasions, Aston Villa. They were one of the founder members of the Football League in 1888 and of the Premier League in 1992.

8. Newcastle United – 1481 points

Another team that had their best days back in the 90s, Newcastle United. The club has been a member of the Premier League for all but three years of the competition’s history, spending 86 seasons in the top tier as of May 2018, and has never dropped below English football’s second tier since joining the Football League in 1893.

They have won four League Championship titles, six FA Cups and a Charity Shield, as well as the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and the 2006 UEFA Intertoto Cup, the ninth highest total of trophies won by an English club. The club’s most successful period was between 1904 and 1910, when they won an FA Cup and three of their First Division titles. The club was relegated in 2009 and 2016, but returned to the Premier League for the 2017–18 season.

7. Everton – 1610 points

Another team that have never been relegated from the Premier League. Evrton won its first League Championship in 1892. Following four League Championship and two FA Cup wins, Everton experienced a lull in the immediate post World War II period, until a revival in the 1960s saw the club win two League Championships and an FA Cup. The mid-1980s represented its most recent period of sustained success, with two League Championships, an FA Cup, and the 1985 European Cup Winners’ Cup. The club’s most recent major trophy was the 1995 FA Cup.

6. Manchester City – 1718 points

Despite numerous fans claiming Manchester City don’t have any history, they do make it to seventh on our list of Premier League Table – All Time. The Citizens, who started to stamp their mark on English football after a lucrative takeover, have been crowned Premier League champions four times in the last five years.

It had its first major period of success in the late 1960s, winning the League, FA Cup and League Cup under the management of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison. After losing the 1981 FA Cup Final, the club went through a period of decline, which eventually saw them relegated as far down as third tier of English football by the end of the 1997–98 season. They since regained promotion to the top tier in 2001–02 and have remained a fixture in the Premier League since 2002–03. In 2008, Manchester City was purchased by Abu Dhabi United Group for £210 million and received considerable financial investment.

5. Tottenham Hotspur – 1847 points

Another team who have spent many years in the Premier League is Tottenham. They won the FA Cup for the first time in 1901, the only non-League club to do so since the formation of the Football League in 1888. Tottenham were the first club in the 20th century to achieve the League and FA Cup Double, winning both competitions in the 1960–61 season.

After successfully defending the FA Cup in 1962, in 1963 they became the first British club to win a UEFA club competition – the European Cup Winners’ Cup. They were also the inaugural winners of the UEFA Cup in 1972, becoming the first British club to win two different major European trophies. They have collected at least one major trophy in each of the six decades from the 1950s to 2000s – an achievement only matched by Manchester United.

In total, Spurs have won two league titles, eight FA Cups, four League Cups, seven FA Community Shields, one European Cup Winners’ Cup and two UEFA Cups. Tottenham were also the runners-up of the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League competition. The club has a long-standing rivalry with nearby club Arsenal, with head-to-head fixtures known as the North London derby.

4. Liverpool – 2176 points

Another Merseyside team and another team that have failed to win the Premier League. Plenty of league titles for Liverpool Football Club, but they have never won it since it’s been known as the Premier League.

Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played at Anfield since its formation. Liverpool established itself as a major force in English and European football in the 1970s and 1980s when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish led the club to a combined eleven League titles and four European Cups.

Under the management of Rafael Benítez and captained by homegrown player Steven Gerrard, Liverpool became European champions for the fifth time in 2005, before a sixth title was added under Jürgen Klopp in 2019.

3. Chelsea – 2182 points

Six time winners and current Premier League champions make it to third place on our list. Chelsea won their first major honour, the League Championship, in 1955. They won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970 and their first European honour, the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971.

After a period of decline in the late 1970s and 1980s, the club enjoyed a revival in the 1990s and had more success in cup competitions. The past two decades have been the most successful in Chelsea’s history: they won five of their six league titles and the UEFA Champions League during this period. Chelsea are one of five clubs to have won all three of UEFA’s main club competitions, and the only London club to have won the Champions League.

2. Arsenal – 2225 points

In second place comes Arsenal. The three-time winners of the Premier League and also the only team to go through a whole season unbeaten. During the 2003/2004 campaign, The Gunners didn’t lose a single game on their way to their third title. However, that was also the last time they won the Premier League.

Arsenal was the first club from the South of England to join The Football League, in 1893, and they reached the First Division in 1904. Relegated only once, in 1913, they continue the longest streak in the top division,and have won the second-most top-flight matches in English football history.

In the 1930s, Arsenal won five League Championships and two FA Cups, and another FA Cup and two Championships after the war. In 1970–71, they won their first League and FA Cup Double. Between 1989 and 2005, they won five League titles and five FA Cups, including two more Doubles. They completed the 20th century with the highest average league position.

1. Manchester United – 2441 points

Of course. Number one is Manchester United. 20 times they’ve lifted the Premier League trophy, including during it’s debut season back in 1992. In the early 90s they won the title four times in five seasons, and then on two separate occasions, they’ve managed to win it three years in a row.

They have also won 12 FA Cups, six League Cups and a record 21 FA Community Shields. United have also won three UEFA Champions Leagues, one UEFA Europa League, one UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup. In 1998–99, the club became the first in the history of English football to achieve the continental European treble. By winning the UEFA Europa League in 2016–17, they became one of five clubs to have won all three main UEFA club competitions.
