Premier League Power Rankings: Massive drop for Chelsea ahead of final month
Watch Premier League live with Fubo Sports on DAZN
The final month of the Premier League season kicks off this weekend, with a lot left to play for up and down the table.
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 solely on Premier League play.
Here are DAZN News' Power Rankings heading into Matchday 35.
1. Manchester City (▲1)
Three wins in a row now for the Sky Blues, part of an 11-match unbeaten streak. There's no doubt who the best team in England is at the moment.
Next match: May 4 at Everton
2. Liverpool (▲3)
The Reds are also winners of three straight, and they look to have sewn up a Champions League berth after some doubts about their ability to earn their way back into the competition.
Next match: May 3 at Manchester United
3. Brighton (▲5)
Five unbeaten and just one loss in their last eight. The Seagulls are soaring.
Next match: May 2 at Newcastle
4. Bournemouth (—)
Another side that has put together a lengthy unbeaten run, the Cherries are fighting tooth and nail for European football next season.
Next match: May 3 vs. Crystal Palace
5. Manchester United (▼3)
The Red Devils aren't as scary under Michael Carrick as they were a few weeks back, but this drop is more about other teams succeeding than Man United failing.
Next match: May 3 vs. Liverpool
6. Arsenal (▼5)
It's been a rough month for the Gunners, but they still lead the real-life table, so they won't be too concerned with power rankings.
Next match: May 2 vs. Fulham
7. Fulham (▲2)
A tidy win over Aston Villa bumps the Cottagers into the top seven in these rankings, and they're oh-so-close to a European spot.
Next match: May 2 at Arsenal
8. Everton (▼1)
The Toffees are suddenly winless in three at precisely the wrong time of the season.
Next match: May 4 vs. Manchester City
9. Leeds United (▲9)
Unbeaten in five, Leeds have all but guaranteed their survival this season thanks to getting hot at the right time.
Next match: May 1 vs. Burnley
10. Nottingham Forest (▲6)
Speaking of which, the Tricky Trees are unbeaten in six, winning three of their last four, and are nearing safety from relegation just a few weeks after it looked a near-certainty that they'd go down.
Next match: May 4 at Chelsea
11. Brentford (▼1)
The Bees' ridiculous draw streak came to an end with their loss to Manchester United.
Next match: May 2 vs. West Ham
12. Newcastle (▼1)
Four losses on the bounce for the Magpies. Not great for a team with their ambitions.
Next match: May 2 vs. Brighton
13. Aston Villa (—)
Villa's rollercoaster form hasn't helped them climb these rankings, but like Arsenal, they aren't going to care much given their real-world position.
Next match: May 3 vs. Tottenham
14. Chelsea (▼8)
Liam Rosenior's tenure ended with five straight losses, worse than any other current streak in the league.
Next match: May 4 vs. Nottingham Forest
15. West Ham (—)
The Hammers are undefeated in their last three as they aim to stave off relegation.
Next match: May 2 at Brentford
16. Tottenham (▲4)
Spurs finally won in 2026 and have picked up four points in their last two games.
Next match: May 3 at Aston Villa
17. Sunderland (▼5)
Back-to-back losses — including a 5-0 defeat at home — hang like an anchor on the necks of the Black Cats.
Next match: May 2 at Wolves
18. Crystal Palace (▼4)
Thoroughly outplayed at Liverpool over the weekend.
Next match: May 3 at Bournemouth
19. Wolves (▼2)
Three straight losses for the already-relegated side.
Next match: May 2 vs. Sunderland
20. Burnley (▼1)
With just one win in the Premier League since October, there's no doubt as to which team is in the worst form.
Next match: May 1 at Leeds United
