 "Premier League 2024-25 points table, standings, top 5 highest goal-scorers")
The English Premier League 2024-25 season matchday nine action began this weekend, and on the very first day, it saw the four-time defending champions, Manchester City, climbing to the top of the table after their star striker Erling Haaland led them to a 1-0 win over bottom-placed Southampton.
Pep Guardiola’s City now have 23 points in nine games so far. However, second-placed Arne Slot’s Liverpool are just two points behind the leaders with one game to spare. They will face Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal on Sunday, and a win against the Gunners will take the Reds back to the top of the table.
Aston Villa drew 1-1 against Bournemouth on Saturday and have moved up one spot to third with 18 points. But even a draw against Liverpool will see Arsenal climb back to the third spot on Sunday.
Brighton (16 points), Nottingham Forest (16 points), Chelsea (14 points), and Tottenham (13 points) all have a chance to improve their positions in the Premier League standings in the coming matches and keep their European ambitions alive.
