2025 belongs to Arsenal. Even if this title triumph is tainted…

Arsenal are the Premier League 2025 Calendar Year champions! But their triumph comes with a whopping, great big asterisk…

Liverpool may have claimed the Premier League title handed out in 2025, but over the year as a whole, the Reds were only the fourth-best team. And that, as you’ll all agree, is the real test.

The Premier League’s pride of 2025: Arsenal .

Mikel Arteta’s side wrapped up their December with a 4-1 win over Aston Villa that catapults them ahead of Manchester City .

Arsenal trailed City on goal-difference going into that clash with Villa – the other team above Liverpool for the year. But a resounding win with four second-half goals sees the Gunners finish three points ahead of City .

As the one side, though, who might recognise an unfair advantage when they see it, City will surely point to the fact Arsenal played two more games in 2025.

City had a better PPG record: 2.16 to Arsenal’s 2.13.

Whatever. Take it up with the schedulers, Pep. Just like north London, 2025 is red and white.
