Arsenal continued their impressive run in the 2026/27 English Premier League campaign after securing a narrow 1-0 victory over Hull City on Saturday, November 7, to strengthen their grip on the top position.

The Gunners moved to 27 points after recording nine wins in their opening 10 matches, opening a six-point gap over second-placed Manchester City, who have accumulated 21 points from nine games.

Brighton occupy third position with 19 points, while Chelsea are fourth on 16 points. Everton have collected an equal number of points but sit fifth because of their inferior position in the standings.

Liverpool are sixth with 15 points, followed by Brentford and Leeds United, who have 14 points each. Leeds climbed to eighth after beating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0, leaving the North London club struggling in 10th position with 12 points.

Bournemouth, Newcastle and Aston Villa complete the teams occupying positions nine, 11 and 12 respectively, with each having collected 12 points.

Further down the standings, Hull City are 13th with 11 points, level with Ipswich Town. Fulham occupy 15th position with 10 points, while Coventry City are 16th with nine points.

Manchester United's difficult campaign continued, with the Red Devils sitting 17th after collecting just seven points from nine matches. They are level on points with Crystal Palace, who occupy the relegation zone alongside Nottingham Forest and Sunderland.

Nottingham Forest are 19th with six points, while Sunderland remain bottom with five points.

Manchester City still have a chance to reduce Arsenal's advantage when they face Nottingham Forest later on Saturday.
