A win earns three points, a draw one and a defeat none. If clubs finish level, the league compares them first on season-long goal difference, then goals scored, then results in matches between those clubs.
How the Premier League points race works
The Premier League has 20 clubs. Each plays every other club twice—once at home and once away—so each team plays 38 matches and the season has 380 league fixtures. The Premier League awards three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a defeat. The club with the most points at the end of the season wins the title.
There is no fixed points total that guarantees a championship: the total needed depends on how the other clubs perform. Historical winning totals are not forecasts for a coming season, particularly when records span seasons with different numbers of matches.
What the league-table abbreviations mean
| Abbreviation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| P or Pl | Matches played |
| W | Wins |
| D | Draws |
| L | Losses |
| GF or F | Goals for: goals scored |
| GA or A | Goals against: goals conceded |
| GD | Goal difference |
| Pts | Points |
Goal difference is goals for minus goals against across the entire league season. For example, a team that scores 70 and concedes 30 has a goal difference of +40. This is a season-wide figure, not the goal difference from matches against a particular rival.

Premier League tie-breakers, in order
If clubs finish with equal points, the Premier League applies these criteria in sequence. It moves to the next measure only if the clubs remain level on the preceding one.
- Goal difference: Goals scored minus goals conceded across all league matches.
- Goals scored: The club with more goals over the full league season ranks higher.
- Points in matches between the tied clubs: This compares their head-to-head league matches.
- Away goals in matches between the tied clubs: If the clubs are still level, the league compares away goals scored in those head-to-head matches.
- A playoff, if necessary: If the tie remains and the position affects the title, European qualification or relegation, a one-off playoff at a neutral venue may be used.
The order matters: head-to-head results do not decide the ranking before season-long goal difference and goals scored. The Premier League’s explanation says a playoff had never been needed to resolve a final-table tie as of its publication; that historical statement is time-bound, not a guarantee about future seasons.

What the tie-breakers have decided before
The Premier League identifies the 2011/12 title as a case decided on goal difference: Manchester City and Manchester United finished level on points, and City took the title. Sergio Agüero’s late winner against Queens Park Rangers secured City’s result on the final day. The league described it as the only title decided by goal difference at the time of its account; “only” should be read within that source’s publication period, not as a permanent record.
How to assess a title race during the run-in
For a live comparison, start with each contender’s points and matches remaining. Work out the points each could add under the remaining win, draw and loss combinations, then compare the possible final totals. If a scenario leaves the clubs level, apply the official criteria from the top; do not treat a head-to-head win as decisive unless the earlier measures are also tied.
