The 2024 Premier League calendar came to a fitting conclusion with Manchester United tasting defeat at home on Monday evening.
The year opened with Newcastle losing away to Liverpool on New Year's Day amid a campaign of decline for the Newcastle side, however Eddie Howe's team is on the rise again Their convincing victory over the Red Devils marked their resurgence.
Only a few teams can say that 2024 has been a complete success, with the majority struggling for consistency throughout the year. Even Manchester City, who claimed their fourth successive league title in May, have stumbled significantly in the 2024/25 season and are locked in a tight battle to secure a place in the top four.
As you know, there are no awards for success in a calendar year, but it is interesting to evaluate the most successful teams in the period between January 1 and December 31. Teams' fortunes can change radically by the season.

Arsenal finished second again in the 2023/24 season, yet finished the year as the most productive team in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta's team scored 85 points from 36 matches, losing only three times.
They also conceded the fewest goals (25) in the calendar year.
Their points tally was matched with the current league leaders Liverpoolwho played the game more. The Reds faltered last season when Jurgen Klopp bid farewell, but Arne Slott built on the strong foundations left by the German and helped Liverpool once again emerge as a dominant force in the division. No team in the Premier League has scored more goals than the Merseyside club (92).
Manchester City They enjoyed a 23-match unbeaten run and won nine in a row to lift another title in 2024, but an unfortunate run at the end of the year means City sit third in the annual table on 82 points. They would certainly have finished 2024 on top had they not endured such an unfortunate run between the start of November and Boxing Day. However, they are comfortably better off than Chelsea, who are fourth on 70 points.
It is interesting. Mauricio Pochettino helped Chelsea He has more points over his last 19 games (38) than Enzo Maresca has over his first 19 games (35).
Bournemouth and Fulham are among the surprises that sit in the top half of the 2024 table, along with Tottenham and Fulham. Manchester United Enduring equally disappointing years. Ange Postecoglou has led Tottenham to their lowest points tally in a calendar year since 2009, with Brentford and Wolves tasting further defeats.
Everton were the worst performing team among the teams that remained in the top flight all year. The Toffees escaped relegation in relative comfort last season and currently have a good buffer of the relegation zone, but they have scored 31 points from 36 games in 2024 and won just eight.
Southampton has taken on the mantle of a desperate Sheffield United after returning to the Premier League via the play-offs. Saints and Blades have combined for 13 points and two wins in 2024. Sheffield United, looking solid again in the Second Division, have conceded 55 goals in just 18 games (3,056 per game). Southampton scored 12 goals in 19 matches.
