A look at the Premier League table – across the entire of 2023 – reveals a number of shocking statistics, such as Chelsea’s struggles or Aston Villa’s success.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the calendar year gradually comes to end, with just one month of football action left, teams will once again be preparing for the January window.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It seems like just the other day when the 2022 World Cup drew to a scintillating end and we saw the likes of Enzo Fernandez and\u00a0Mykhailo Mudryk join the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, since then, plenty has happened. From Newcastle’s impressive Champions League finish and Aston Villa’s up-turn in form to Chelsea’s perpetual struggles in the top-flight, there’s been a lot going on this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the 2023 calendar year table, revealed by TransferMarkt, does well to reinforce that as it revealed some shocking revelations about club’s league form this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chelsea struggles in 2023 see them sit 15th in the Premier League across the calendar year<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Aston Villa, meanwhile, have deserved a Champions League spot, according to the table<\/p>\n

When looking at the 2023 table, the top four offers a largely contrasting picture to that of the 2022-23 table but relatively similar to the current standings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From first to fourth, the table reads: Manchester City (82 points), Arsenal (71 points), Aston Villa (71 points) and Liverpool (67 points).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, there’s no place in the top four for this season’s Champions League clubs Manchester United or Newcastle – who are fifth and sixth in the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Interestingly, United boast the same amount of points as rivals Liverpool – which is seven more than Eddie Howe’s high-flying Magpies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An even more intriguing aspect of the table is Brighton’s high points tally, which is level with Newcastle’s and four points greater than Tottenham’s – who are ninth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite their good fortunes in the early stages of the 2023-24 campaign, Ange Postecoglou can only overturn some of the deficit from their struggles last year.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, at the other end of the table, there are some – similarly – shocking statistics.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perhaps the most notable is Chelsea’s 15th placed position in the table – having picked up just 36 points from their 36 matches in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle sit 6th in the table despite their success in 2022-23<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Frank Lampard won just one out of his 11 games as Chelsea’s interim boss this year<\/p>\n
It’s a points tally which places them below the likes of Nottingham Forest, Brentford and Fulham. It’s also just one point above strugglers Everton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In-fact, excluding the six teams that either got relegated or promoted to the top-flight in summer, Chelsea sit 15th out of 17 teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They’ve won just just eight of their 36 matches following struggles for managers Graham Potter and Frank Lampard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the Blues, Leicester, Leeds and Southampton all follow on closely ahead of the current crop of former Championship sides Luton, Sheffield United and Burnley.<\/p>\n
