Premier League 2025-26 Table, Match Day 27 Updates: City pushes Arsenal, Chelsea lose points against Burnley

The 2025-26 Premier League season saw Manchester City in action on February 21 (Saturday), which was February 22 (Sunday) in Indian Standard Time (IST). They beat Newcastle United 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium to close in on Arsenal at the top of the table, narrowing the gap between the two sides to just two points. Chelsea on the other hand, lost crucial points against Burnley as the match ended in a 1-1 draw at the Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United, otherwise talk of the town, will not play this week, but will play their Match Day 27 game on February 24 (Tuesday) as Indian Standard Times. They will take on Everton and will look to continue their undefeated run under Michael Carrick, the man who has not lost a premier league game ever since his arrival at the Old Trafford as team’s interim manager on January 16, 2026.

They are currently placed fifth as of February 22, 2026. They will look to picket three points and build on towards their entry into next season’s UEFA Champions League.

However, before that, February 22 (tonight) will see other big teams in action as Arsenal will face up against Tottenham Hotspurs on London Derby at the Hotspurs Stadium. Liverpool will be up against Nottingham Forest.

The Man Utd Surge and Carrick’s Impact

Since Michael Carrick took temporary charge, Manchester United have been defined by a newfound tactical flexibility. Benjamin Sesko’s dramatic 96th-minute equalizer against West Ham on February 11 has kept the unbeaten run going in the Carrick era. They remain only 13 points behind league leaders Arsenal, having played a game less. With 12 matches to go, one can expect the best-ever finish from the Red Devils since the 2020-21 season where they ended up placed second.

Title Race: Arsenal Lead, Man City Close the Gap

Arsenal remain at the top of the table with 58 points, despite drawing two and losing one of their last five matches. Manchester City have closed the gap down to just two points as of February 22 and having played same number of games. City were clinical in their last game, beating Newcastle United 3-0.

Relegation Battles and Tottenham’s Crisis

At the bottom of the table are Wolves, who are struggling big time with just ten points on the board. But even more shocking is the standing of the Tottenham Hotspur, who have slipped to 16th with just 29 points in their kitty. Among the bottom three fighting to survive relegation, Burnley and West Ham both drew their matches.
