Comparing every PL team’s points and goal tallies to this time last season

Manchester City and Manchester United are among the Premier League’s big improvers this season – but there are worrying signs for Arsenal and Tottenham.

With City yet to taste defeat this term, United appear their closest rivals in the race for the Premier League title.

Both sides have improved drastically in comparison to last season, scoring more goals, conceding fewer and amassing more points.

Everton, meanwhile, who were deemed to be in a relegation battle until consecutive wins this week, have only two points fewer than at this stage last season.

Interestingly, despite their problems being diagnosed as a lack of a striker following the sale of Romelu Lukaku to the Red Devils, Everton have scored exactly the same amount of goals one year on.

And we’ve compared every Premier League team’s current record to their record at this point last term.
