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 21.

Leeds' narrow loss at Newcastle didn't dampen their overall good run of form lately.

Next match: Jan. 17 vs. Fulham
