Premier League Power Rankings: Aston Villa the biggest risers as Liverpool sink

Another round of Premier League games has come and gone, bringing more joy and pain along the way.

We witnessed Arsenal's domination of their local rivals without relying on set-pieces, Liverpool's continued slide, and a 10-man team win at Old Trafford for the first time ever.

We try to make sense of it all in the latest Power Rankings, which are not meant to look at the overall picture, but rather to provide a snapshot based on current form, strength of opposition, and other factors. As always, these rankings are based on Premier League play only.

Here are DAZN News' Power Rankings after Matchweek 12.

@premierleague

1. Arsenal (no change)

Pulled off one of their most impressive victories of the season against their rivals — beating Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 without a healthy striker, their captain or their best defender. This team is scarily good.

Next match: Nov. 30 at Chelsea

2. Chelsea (up 1)

The Blues may just be the biggest challenger to Arsenal's title hopes, and their latest victory, a 2-0 success at Burnley, marked their third straight win.

Next match: Nov. 30 vs. Arsenal

3. Crystal Palace (up 1)

They defeated Wolves — which everyone does — but Palace have just one loss in their last four matches.

Next match: Nov.  30 vs. Manchester United

4. Manchester City (down 2)

Inconsistency may well derail Man City's title aspirations, and after losing 2-1 at Newcastle they've suffered two defeats in their last four games.

Next match: Nov. 29 vs. Leeds United

5. Aston Villa (up 4)

Villa's impressive rise continues after their woeful start, with last weekend's 2-1 success at Leeds United bringing their fourth win in five matches.

Next match: Nov. 30 vs. Wolves

6. Newcastle (up 1)

The Magpies handed Man City their latest loss, and Newcastle continues to hang around in the upper reaches of these power rankings despite a relatively poor overall record. 

Next match: Nov. 29 at Everton

7. Manchester United (down 2)

The Red Devils' five-match undefeated streak ends in perhaps the most embarrassing fashion possible. Losing 1-0 to an Everton team that had a man sent off for fighting his own teammate is shameful stuff.

Next match: Nov. 30 at Crystal Palace

8. Brentford (no change)

Brentford lost 2-1 at Brighton but have still performed well enough in recent weeks to justify this spot in the rankings.

Next match: Nov. 29 vs. Burnley

9. Everton (up 2)

The Toffees supplied the rest of the league with prime banter thanks to their win over Man United, and they are now undefeated in three.

Next match: Nov. 29 vs. Newcastle

10. Liverpool (down 4)

Liverpool's sudden collapse, which continued with a 3-0 home humiliation to Nottingham Forest, will be studied for years to come. How far can they fall?

Next match: Nov. 30 at West Ham

11. Fulham (down 1)

The Cottagers were actually victorious over the weekend, beating Sunderland 1-0 at home, but other teams' movement pushed them down a spot.

Next match: Nov. 29 at Tottenham

12. Tottenham (up 1)

Similar to Fulham, Spurs' movement here is more on what other teams did than their own doing. Especially after not showing up in the North London Derby.

Next match: Nov. 29 vs. Fulham

13. Bournemouth (down 1)

The Cherries drew 2-2 at home to West Ham, knocking them down a peg.

Next match: Nov. 29 at Sunderland

14. Nottingham Forest (up 4)

Forest delivered the most shocking — but yet not shocking — result of the weekend, and are winners of back-to-back matches.

Next match: Nov. 30 vs. Brighton

15. Brighton (down 1)

Brighton were winners this weekend, but need to show something else in order to move up these rankings. 

Next match: Nov. 30 at Nottingham Forest

16. West Ham (up 1)

Don't look now, but the Hammers haven't lost in three games. The Nuno effect?

Next match: Nov. 30 vs. Liverpool

17. Sunderland (down 2)

Now winless in three, the Black Cats are the best uninspiring team in the league.

Next match: Nov. 29 vs. Bournemouth

18. Burnley (down 2)

Three straight losses will lead to a big slide. It has started for Burnley.

Next match: Nov. 29 at Brentford

19. Leeds United (no change)

Leeds are also losers of three straight, and will likely be fighting for their lives for the remainder of the camppaign.

Next match: Nov. 29 at Manchester City

20. Wolves (no change)

Hands down the worst team in the league, Wolves are on pace to demolish the all-time record for fewest points in a Premier League season.

Next match: Nov. 30 at Aston Villa
