Premier League Power Rankings: No change at the top while Black Cats climb
Another Premier League weekend is in the books, and with it another 10 matches as the second half of the competition began.
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 20.
1. Arsenal (—)
Did what they had to do to secure victory at Bournemouth and stay atop the standings. Is it too early to give Declan Rice the league's player of the year award?
Next match: Jan. 8 vs. Liverpool
2. Manchester City (—)
Gave up a costly stoppage-time goal that allowed Chelsea to leave the Etihad with a draw and Arsenal to pad their lead atop the table. Still undefeated in eight, though.
Next match: Jan. 7 vs. Brighton
3. Aston Villa (▲2)
Bounced back from last week's loss to Arsenal with a comfortable victory over Nottingham Forest, although Emi Martinez was a little too busy towards the end.
Next match: Jan. 7 at Crystal Palace
4. Liverpool (▲2)
Extended their unbeaten run to eight matches after claiming an away draw against a tough Fulham side.
Next match: Jan. 8 at Arsenal
5. Brentford (▲2)
Igor Thiago is back! And he's elevating Brentford with him. The Bees are unbeaten in five.
Next match: Jan. 7 vs. Sunderland
6. Newcastle (▼2)
Earned a nice win over Crystal Palace but dropped slightly due to other teams' good runs.
Next match: Jan. 7 vs. Leeds United
7. Everton (▼4)
The Toffees were probably ranked too high last week, and their 4-2 loss to Brentford brings them back down to Earth a bit.
Next match: Jan. 7 vs. Wolves
8. Leeds United (▲1)
Three draws in a row after Sunday's 1-1 result against Manchester United, and unbeaten in seven. They also got Ruben Amorim sacked.
Next match: Jan. 7 at Newcastle
9. Fulham (▼1)
The Cottagers are now undefeated in their last five games.
Next match: Jan. 7 vs. Chelsea
10. Tottenham (—)
It's more treading water for Tottenham, who are unbeaten in three but continue to disappoint at home.
Next match: Jan. 7 at Bournemouth
11. Brighton (▲1)
Claimed a 2-0 victory over Burnley, earning themselves a modest bump.
Next match: Jan. 7 at Manchester City
12. Chelsea (▼1)
The Blues escaped the Etihad with a draw despite not having a full-time manager, but they are winless in four.
Next match: Jan. 7 at Fulham
13. Manchester United (—)
Another draw against a bottom-half team cost Amorim his job. Where do the Red Devils go from here?
Next match: Jan. 7 at Burnley
14. Sunderland (▲5)
The Black Cats are going to draw their way to a European place, aren't they?
Next match: Jan. 7 at Brentford
15. Wolves (▲2)
A victory for Wolves! And a comprehensive one at that!
Next match: Jan. 7 at Everton
16. Crystal Palace (▼1)
The bottom has fallen out for Palace, who are winless in five.
Next match: Jan. 7 vs. Aston Villa
17. Bournemouth (▼3)
Their loss to Arsenal extends their winless skid to 11(!) games.
Next match: Jan. 7 vs. Tottenham
18. Nottingham Forest (—)
It took going down before they got inspired against Villa, but by then it was too little, too late. That's four straight defeats.
Next match: Jan. 6 at West Ham
19. West Ham (▼3)
Shipping three goals to previously winless Wolves will do damage to your ranking.
Next match: Jan. 6 vs. Nottingham Forest
20. Burnley (—)
Winless in 11, with nine of those games being defeats. There's no doubt which team is in the worst form in the league at the moment.
Next match: Jan. 7 vs. Manchester United
