Comparing every PL club’s points & goal tallies to this stage last season

Planet Football • 15 Mar 2020

We don’t need to compare points and goal tallies to last season to tell you Liverpool have improved while Tottenham and Arsenal have struggled – but the numbers do put an interesting perspective on Chelsea and Manchester United’s respective campaigns.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has faced plenty of criticism this season, but United’s points and goals against tallies suggest he has the Red Devils moving in the right direction.

Below are every Premier League club’s points and goal tallies compared to this stage last season (excluding the newly-promoted sides).

Liverpool
Points: +12
Goals for: +2
Goals against: +6

Manchester City (after 28 games)
Points: -11
Goals for: -7
Goals against: +11

Leicester City
Points: +18
Goals for: +23
Goals against: -13

Chelsea
Points: -11
Goals for: -1
Goals against: +9

Manchester United
Points: +13
Goals for: -14
Goals against: -8

Get in. Anyone that says they aren’t seeing progression under Solskjaer at @ManUtd is massively in the wrong !!!
