English Premier League table 2023/24: Updated EPL standings as new season gets underway

Another English Premier League season kicks off on opening weekend from August 11-14 as all 20 clubs return to competitive action after a busy preseason.

The usual suspects are expected to contend for the title with three-time defending champions Manchester City at the top of the pack in search of an unprecedented fourth-straight title.

The battle for spots in European cup competitions will be extra compelling in 2023/24 with the prospect of a fifth Champions League berth potentially being up for grabs. There is a scenario where there could be up to seven English teams that make it to the next Champions League.

At the other end of the table, as is regularly the case, the three promoted clubs are immediate candidates to go back down with Burnley given a better chance to survive among the three. But it's worth recalling how all three promoted sides survived last season at the expense of Leicester, Leeds and Southampton.

The Sporting News will update the table below and break down each of the key races throughout the 2023/24 season.

Predicting every club's position in the table in 2023/24

Manchester City are the heavy favourites to repeat as Premier League champions for the fourth straight season, and the most serious challenge could once again come from Arsenal, according to most sportsbooks.

Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Newcastle United are deemed the most likely to press that duo, with Chelsea the only one of the group that does not have to worry about European cup competitions after failing to qualify last season.
