Diary of the season

  • 31 August 2025: August ends and the international break begins with reigning champions Liverpool top of the league as the only team in the Premier League with a 100% record. Chelsea are 2 points behind in second, while Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Sunderland, and Bournemouth are tied with 2 wins and 1 loss from the opening 3 matches. Wolverhampton Wanderers are bottom of the league as the only team with no points so far, joined in the relegation zone by Fulham and Aston Villa; Newcastle United are above Fulham on goal difference. Similar to the Premier League, the Championship is led by Middlesbrough as the only team with a perfect record, 2 points ahead of West Bromwich Albion. Stoke City, Leicester City, Coventry City and Bristol City take the playoff spots. Sheffield United, the beaten playoff finalists from the previous season, are bottom of the table with no points, and are joined in the bottom 3 by neighbours Sheffield Wednesday and by Oxford United, both of whom are 1 point ahead of them.
  • 30 September 2025: September draws the curtain with Liverpool still top of the Premier League title despite suffering their first defeat. Arsenal follow in 2nd place while Crystal Palace, the only side unbeaten in the league so far, follow 1 point behind in 3rd. Tottenham Hotspur, Sunderland, Bournemouth and Manchester City round out the top 7. Wolverhampton Wanderers have picked up their first point but remain rock bottom, joined in the relegation zone by West Ham and Burnley, whereas Nottingham Forest, without a win since the first matchday, are just 1 point out of the bottom 3. In the Championship, Middlesbrough remain at the summit, now boasting a 4-point cushion ahead of 2nd-placed Stoke City while remaining undefeated, the only club alongside Coventry City to do so in the second tier. The Sky Blues are in 3rd, joined in the play-off zone by Bristol City, Leicester City and Preston North End, in what is turning out into a heavily congested table so far as just 6 points separate 2nd from 19th place. Sheffield United have ended their losing streak, having picked up their 1st win after losing their first 6 games but remain rock bottom, joined in the bottom 3 by Oxford United and rivals Sheffield Wednesday, while Blackburn Rovers end the month outside the relegation zone by virtue of goal difference alone.
  • 24 October 2025: Sheffield Wednesday enters administration and gets a 12 point deduction due to unpaid wages for over 5 weeks. This has sent them to the bottom of the EFL Championship.
  • 31 October 2025: October draws to the finish line with Arsenal having gained top spot, boasting a 4-point lead on 2nd place after finishing the month with 6 wins out of 6 across all competitions, and without a single goal conceded. Bournemouth amazingly sit in 2nd, vastly defying the odds that wanted them to struggle following the several high-profile departures of last summer. Tottenham follow in 3rd place, tied with another underdog in Sunderland who are enjoying what is turning out to be the best start to the season by a newly promoted club in 17 years - also defying the odds that wanted them to struggle like Bournemouth. Manchester City follow in 5th, while the top 7 is rounded out by Manchester United, who have won successive games for only the first time since Ruben Amorim took over, and Liverpool, who have embarked on a freefall, having lost 6 of their last 7 games across all competitions. Wolves and West Ham continue to prop up the table - the former still searching for their first win of the campaign - now joined in the bottom 3 by Nottingham Forest, whose terrible form continues as they are already in their 3rd different manager of the season so far. In the Championship, Coventry City, statistically the best attacking side in the Football League remain top despite having just lost their first game of the campaign. Middlesbrough follow in 2nd, while a rather unusual top 6 is rounded out by Millwall, Bristol City, Stoke City and Charlton Athletic - none of the four afformentioned sides having looked like mounting a serious promotion push before the season began. Sheffield Wednesday's entry to administration has seen them drop to -6 points, and 16 points off safety, with relegation looking a certainty already from now. Struggling Norwich City and Wednesday rivals Sheffield United join the Owls in the bottom 3, with Blackburn Rovers closely outside, whereas struggling Southampton are also hovering near the bottom 3 as they sit in 20th.
  • 30 November 2025: November concludes with Arsenal remaining top, now 5 points ahead of 2nd-placed Manchester City. Chelsea follow 1 point behind in 3rd, joined in the top 4 by surging Aston Villa who have well and truly put behind their poor start to the season having won 7 of their last 8 games. Brighton have climbed to 5th, joined in the top 7 by impressive Sunderland and Manchester United - with Liverpool just outside the top 7, in what is turning out to be a very congested table as just 5 points separate 5th from 15th place. Wolverhampton Wanderers remain rock bottom with just 2 points so far, their relegation looking almost a certainty even from now on, Burnley and Leeds joining the Old Gold in the bottom 3, and West Ham outside just on goals scored, and Nottingham Forest being 1 point ahead amid a surge following the hiring of Sean Dyche, in a month that included a spectacular 3–0 victory at Anfield against freefalling Liverpool. Coventry City's march towards their return to the Premier League after 25 years continues, the Sky Blues having won all of their games in November to boast a massive 10-point lead over 2nd-placed Middlesbrough, and holding a 12-point cushion over 3rd-placed Millwall - numbers unprecedented for this time of the year in the Championship. Stoke, Preston North End and Bristol City round out the top 6, in another congested table as just 6 points separate 6th from 17th place. Sheffield Wednesday remain bottom at -4 points and looking set to break negative records for the fewest points amassed in the 2nd tier, joined in the bottom 3 by Norwich City and Portsmouth - with Swansea outside the bottom 3 by virtue of goal difference.
  • 1 December 2025: Sheffield Wednesday are hit by another points deduction, 6 this time, for breaching financial regulations, meaning they drop to -10 points, a whooping 27 points off safety. Former owner Dejphon Chansiri has also received a three-year ban from owning or being a director at any EFL club.
