Liverpool vs. Arsenal Standings: How to Check the Latest Premier League Table

After Arsenal’s 1–0 win at Liverpool on November 1, 2026, Arsenal sat first in the Premier League with 24 points from nine matches. Liverpool were fifth, nine points behind. Those figures describe the table after the match, not a permanent ranking: later results can change positions and points. Use the Premier League’s live table for the current view, and treat the figures below as a dated snapshot.

Liverpool and Arsenal standings after their match

The clubs met at Anfield in Matchweek 9. Liverpool’s official match report confirms the 1–0 result and Kai Havertz’s 16th-minute goal. Reuters reported that Arsenal moved three points clear at the top on 24 points, while Liverpool remained fifth and nine points back. Liverpool’s 15-point figure below is the arithmetic difference between 24 and nine; check the live table before reusing a snapshot later.

*Liverpool’s 15 points are calculated from the reported 24-point total and nine-point gap. The live Premier League table is the place to confirm a later total or position.

Arsenal won the match, but the score and the standings answer different questions. The 0–1 score describes one game. The table ranks clubs using their accumulated results across the league season. A head-to-head result can add points and affect goal difference, but it does not create a separate Liverpool-versus-Arsenal league ranking.

How to check the latest Premier League table

  1. Open the official table. Go to the Premier League table. This is the league’s own standings page and is the best starting point when you need an up-to-date position.
  2. Select the correct competition group. The table page offers First Team, U21, and U18 views. Choose First Team for the senior Premier League standings. Check the season selector or page heading so you are not reading a prior campaign.
  3. Find each club by name. Search or scroll to Arsenal and Liverpool, then read the Pos, Pl, and Pts columns together. Pos is current rank, Pl is matches played, and Pts is points earned.
  4. Refresh after results finish. A table can change while a matchweek is in progress. A club may have played one more game than another, and a live table can reflect in-progress scores. If you need confirmed standings, refresh after the relevant matches are final and note when you checked.
  5. Use the match center for the score. The official Premier League Liverpool–Arsenal match page and Liverpool’s match report confirm the game result. A match page is useful for the score and match details; the league table is the place to compare season standings.

What the table columns tell you

Do not rely on rank alone when two teams are close. Read the surrounding columns to understand why one club is above another and whether they have played the same number of matches.

  • Pl (played): Completed league matches. If one team has played fewer games, its points total may be temporarily lower because it has had fewer chances to earn points.
  • W, D, and L: Wins, draws, and losses. The Premier League awards three points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss.
  • GF and GA: Goals scored for and goals conceded against the club across its league matches.
  • GD (goal difference): Goals for minus goals against. A club with 14 goals for and five against has a +9 goal difference. Goal difference can separate clubs that have the same points.
  • Pts (points): The total used first to order teams. More points means a higher position, subject to the league’s tie-break rules.
  • Form and Next: These columns summarize recent results and the next scheduled opponent on the official table. They add context but do not replace points, goal difference, or the played count.

Common standings questions

Does beating a direct rival guarantee a jump above them?

No. The win gives the winner three points and the loser none from that match, but the final positions also depend on each club’s existing points, goal difference, goals scored, and other results. In this case, Arsenal’s win over Liverpool helped move the Gunners to first; it did not make every Liverpool–Arsenal match a title decider. To check the actual effect, compare both clubs’ points before and after the result, then inspect the full table.

Why can a team with fewer games be below a rival?

League tables list points actually earned, not projected points. A team with a game in hand may still be behind until it plays and wins. Treat “games in hand” as an opportunity, not guaranteed points: the match can end in a draw or defeat. When comparing Liverpool and Arsenal, read Pl beside Pts and avoid assuming that an unplayed match will change the standings in a particular direction.

What happens if clubs are level on points?

During the season, the Premier League table uses points, then goal difference, then goals scored to separate teams. At the end of the season, if the relevant clubs are still tied and the result affects the title, European qualification, or relegation, the rules add head-to-head points and head-to-head away goals; a neutral-site playoff may be used if teams still cannot be separated. The exact late-season tie-break matters only when clubs are level on the earlier criteria. For a routine check, read the displayed position and confirm the points, GD, and goals scored columns.

How to report the standings accurately

For a clear update, include the date of the snapshot, each club’s position, matches played, points, and the match result that prompted the search. A useful wording is: “After Arsenal’s 1–0 win at Anfield on November 1, Arsenal were first with 24 points from nine matches; Liverpool were fifth, nine points behind.” That makes clear the figures are time-specific. If you are publishing later, recheck the official table instead of carrying forward this snapshot.

The official table is dynamic and may show newer results than this article’s November 1, 2026 snapshot.
