EPL Table After Matchday Six

According to a report by Sky Sports on Sunday, October 11, 2026, the English Premier League standings have witnessed significant changes following the latest round of matches, with Manchester City extending their lead at the top, Arsenal maintaining second position, and Chelsea strengthening their pursuit of the top four.

Manchester City continued their outstanding start to the 2026/2027 campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Enzo Maresca’s men secured all three points through second-half goals from Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki. Liverpool’s difficulties increased when Ryan Gravenberch received a red card before City opened the scoring.

The result extended Manchester City’s winning streak to six consecutive Premier League matches, taking their points tally to 18 and giving them a three-point advantage over Arsenal.

Arsenal occupy second position with 15 points after securing a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory against Leeds United on Saturday. The Gunners overturned a one-goal deficit to collect maximum points and remain City’s closest challengers.

Brighton sit third with 13 points following their impressive 2-0 away victory against Sunderland. Their strong performances have placed them ahead of several traditional Premier League heavyweights.

Brentford occupy fourth position with 10 points after sharing the spoils in a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa.

Everton are fifth with 10 points following their entertaining 2-2 draw against Hull City on Sunday.

Chelsea also have 10 points and occupy sixth position after producing one of the most impressive performances of the weekend.

Xabi Alonso’s side defeated Bournemouth 5-1 at Stamford Bridge, with Brazilian forward Joao Pedro scoring twice to help the London club secure an important victory.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have dropped to ninth position with nine points after suffering their first Premier League defeat of the season against Manchester City.

Manchester United remain in the lower half of the standings after failing to protect their advantage against Tottenham Hotspur.

Michael Carrick’s men appeared destined for victory after Bryan Mbeumo gave them the lead, but Dominic Solanke scored a late equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw for Tottenham.

The result leaves Manchester United with six points from six matches, highlighting their inconsistent beginning to the campaign.

Crystal Palace also enjoyed a successful weekend after defeating Nottingham Forest 3-1. Palace recovered from conceding an early goal to claim a valuable victory and improve their position in the standings.

At the bottom of the table, Fulham remain in 20th position with just two points, while Coventry City and Tottenham Hotspur are also struggling near the relegation zone.

However, Matchday Six is not yet completely concluded, as Coventry City are scheduled to face Newcastle United on Monday, October 12.

Manchester City currently hold a commanding advantage in the title race, while Arsenal and Brighton remain their nearest challengers.

With Chelsea attempting to move into the Champions League qualification places and Manchester United struggling for consistency, the coming weeks promise further changes in the Premier League standings.
