Premier League Power Rankings: Man Utd the biggest risers and Arsenal regain the top spot

Another weekend of Premier League matches is just around the corner, with a Friday game to kick off the proceedings.

All "Big Six" sides head into the weekend having earned at least a point in their most recent league fixtures, with goals aplenty as defence was seemingly not the main priority last week.

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 ahead of Matchweek 25.

1. Arsenal (▲4)

The Gunners reclaimed the top spot in our Power Rankings with a scintillating 4-0 victory over visiting Leeds, signalling to the rest of the league that they can still score in buckets when they want to.

Next match: Feb. 7 vs. Sunderland

2. Chelsea (▲4)

Winners of three straight league matches after their thrilling comeback against West Ham. The Blues are flying under Liam Rosenior.

Next match: Feb. 7 at Wolves

3. Liverpool (—)

The Reds snapped a winless skid by thumping Newcastle 4-1.

Next match: Feb. 8 vs. Manchester City

4. Brentford (▲3)

The Bees were impressive in defeating Aston Villa at Villa Park despite playing more than half the match with 10 men.

Next match: Feb. 7 at Newcastle

5. Manchester United (▲5)

Three wins in three matches for Michael Carrick, who has the Red Devils in a Champions League spot. Who would have predicted that a month ago?

Next match: Feb. 7 vs. Tottenham

6. Aston Villa (▼5)

Villa's up-and-down form continued last weekend, and losing at home to a 10-man Brentford knocks them down a few places.

Next match: Feb. 7 at Bournemouth

7. Newcastle (▼5)

The Magpies were humbled by Liverpool in Matchweek 24 and have now lost back-to-back games in the league.

Next match: Feb. 7 vs. Brentford

8. Manchester City (—)

City's frustrating 2026 continues as they squandered a two-goal lead over Tottenham and had to settle for a draw.

Next match: Feb. 8 at Liverpool

9. Leeds United (▼5)

Leeds were dominated by Arsenal and have now only won once in their last five. Regression to the mean?

Next match: Feb. 6 vs. Nottingham Forest

10. Fulham (▼1)

Gave Man United a mighty scare but still fell 3-2.

Next match: Feb. 7 vs. Everton

11. Everton (—)

The Toffees stay put after an uninspiring 1-1 draw at Brighton.

Next match: Feb. 7 at Fulham

12. Sunderland (▲1)

The Black Cats pummeled Burnley to earn their second win in three matches.

Next match: Feb. 7 at Arsenal

13. Bournemouth (▲4)

Bournemouth defeated Wolves to extend their unbeaten streak to four games, with three of those being wins.

Next match: Feb. 7 vs. Aston Villa

14. Brighton (▼2)

The Seagulls dominated the stats against Everton but had to settle for a draw, extending their winless skid to four matches.

Next match: Feb. 8 vs. Crystal Palace

15. West Ham (▲3)

West Ham pushed red-hot Chelsea to the brink, but came up just short. Their recent performances have been much improved over the rest of the season.

Next match: Feb. 7 at Burnley

16. Nottingham Forest (▼1)

Forest drop slightly after a home draw with Crystal Palace, but they are unbeaten in four games and will rise up these Power Rankings if their form continues.

Next match: Feb. 6 at Leeds United

17. Tottenham (▼3)

Spurs rescued a point against Man City thanks to the brilliance of Dominic Solanke, but they are now winless in six games with no end in sight.

18. Wolves (▼2)

It's two losses on the bounce and winless in four games for Wolves after their home defeat to Bournemouth. 

Next match: Feb. 7 vs. Chelsea

19. Crystal Palace (▲1)

A draw away at Nottingham Forest gives Palace a slight bump here, but only because Burnley fared worse last week. 

Next match: Feb. 8 at Brighton

20. Burnley (▼1)

As mentioned, Burnley were big losers in Matchweek 24. They are now winless in FIFTEEN games.

Next match: Feb. 7 vs. West Ham
