Manchester United and Tottenham have endured their worst-ever seasons of the Premier League era, while at the other end of the scale, Bournemouth have enjoyed their best.
Prior to the 2024-25 campaign, Manchester United and Liverpool were the only two clubs to have never finished in the bottom half in the Premier League era. That accolade now belongs to Liverpool exclusively.
You’ve also got Everton, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea that have been the only other ever-presents in the top flight since 1992.
But which have been their very best and worst campaigns? We’ve taken a look through every club currently in the Premier League and been through their best and worst seasons in the competition, looking at their placings, points and goal tallies. Each club is placed in order of their all-time Premier League points tally.
Note: Whereby the record is close between a 42-game season and a 38-game season, we’ve gone with whichever had the higher/lower points/goals per game.
