As of 2025, Manchester United and Liverpool had won the English top-flight more times than any other team, with a total of 20 titles each. The league was most recently won by Liverpool in 2024/25, with coach Arne Slot guiding the Reds to success in his first season at the club. Which teams have been most successful in the Premier League era? The Premier League was founded in 1992, replacing the old First Division as the highest tier of English football. Since then, the league has reached new heights financially, having the highest revenue out of the Big Five leagues in Europe. Manchester United have won the most league titles since 1992, with a total of 13. However, local rivals Manchester City have dominated in recent years, winning the Premier League six times since 2018 alone. The other teams that have won the Premier League on more than one occasion are Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool. What does the future hold for Manchester City? Manchester City’s dominance has sometimes called the Premier League’s competitiveness into question, with the club’s resources far exceeding most teams in the league. Overall, City had the second-highest revenue out of any club worldwide in 2023/24, with only Real Madrid generating more. However, uncertainty over the club’s 115 alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play rules and a difficult 2024/25 season mean that things may not be plain sailing for City from now on – welcome news to fans of Liverpool and Arsenal, who have narrowly missed out on titles in recent years.

As of 2025, Ryan Giggs had won more Premier League titles than any other player, with a total of 13. This was two more than the player with the second-most, Paul Scholes. Both players played for Manchester United under Alex Ferguson.

As of 2025, Alex Ferguson had won the Premier League more times than any other manager, with a total of 13 titles. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola picked up his sixth Premier League title in the 2023/24 season.

Explore match day statistics of every game and every team during the 2021-2022 season of the English Premier League!

Data includes data, teams, referee, and stats by home and away side such as fouls, shots, cards, and more! Also included is a dataset of the weekly rankings for the season.

The 2021–22 Premier League was the 30th season of the Premier League, the top English professional league for association football clubs since its establishment in 1992, and the 123rd season of top-flight English football overall. The start and end dates for the season were released on 25 March 2021, and the fixtures were released on 16 June 2021.

Manchester City successfully defended their title, securing a sixth Premier League title and eighth English league title overall on the final day of the season; it was also the club's fourth title in the last five seasons.

The data was collected from the official website of the Premier League. I then cleaned the data using google sheets

In the 1997/98 season, Arsenal came back from 13 points adrift of top spot to win the title, representing the biggest point gap overturned in Premier League history. While Manchester City have earned a reputation for finishing seasons strongly under Pep Guardiola, rivals Manchester United have closed a gap of 10 or more points to win the league on five occasions.

Context

I am a really huge football fan and the Premier League is one of my favourite football (or soccer, whatever you like to call it) leagues. So, as my very first dataset, I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to make a dataset of player statistics of all seasons from the Premier League.

The Premier League, often referred to as the English Premier League or the EPL outside England, is the top level of the English football league system. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League (EFL). Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League.

Home to some of the most famous clubs, players, managers and stadiums in world football, the Premier League is the most-watched league on the planet with one billion homes watching the action in 188 countries.The league takes place between August and May and involves the teams playing each other home and away across the season, a total of 380 matches.

Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat, with the team with the most points at the end of the season winning the Premier League title. The teams that finish in the bottom three of the league table at the end of the campaign are relegated to the Championship, the second tier of English football. Those teams are replaced by three clubs promoted from the Championship; the sides that finish in first and second place and the third via the end-of-season playoffs.

Details about the dataset

• Some players of certain position may not have certain statistics - For example, A goalkeeper may not have a statistic for "Shot Accuracy"
• The format for the filename is - dataset - {yyyy-mm-dd Date} (The date is date when the file was last updated on)

Content

The data was acquired from:

https://www.premierleague.com/

I made a BeautifulSoup4 Web Scrapper in Python3 which automatically outputs a csv file of all the player statistics. The runtime of the file is about 20 minutes but it varies with the bandwidth of the Internet connection. I made this program so that this dataset could be updated weekly. The reason for weekly update is that the statistics change after each match played by the player so I felt that for the most up-to-date results, such a program is needed. Planning this project took 2 days. Making the program in Python3 took 7 days and the testing and bug fixing took another 5 days. The project was completed in the span of 2 weeks.

Known issues in the dataset

• Goals per match displays an abnormally high value for a few players as the HTML displays incorrect value during first few milliseconds of loading the page. I am trying to fix it analytically rather than scrapping directly from the website.

As of the football season 2022/2023, El Ahly SC was the most decorated Egyptian club, with a total of 43 Egyptian Premier League (EPL) titles. The football club El Ahly was the team winning the highest number of records (11 titles) in the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Champions League. Moreover, Zamalek SC, El Ahly's fiercest rival, followed with 14 local titles, while Ismaily SC came third with three titles. Furthermore, four other teams managed to win the EPL, namely El Mokawloon SC, Ghazl Mahalla, Olympic Alexandria, and Tersana FC.

Home vs Away Performance Analysis: English Premier League Historical Dataset

This dataset provides a detailed comparison of home versus away performance metrics for English Premier League teams across multiple seasons, along with team age demographics. With 666 entries and 18 features, it enables comprehensive analysis of how teams perform differently at home and away games.

This dataset may help analysts to quantitatively examine how home vs. away performance and ranking have impact on the winning the title in Premier League.

Dataset contains the team's home and away rankings for each season starting from 1992 until 2024.

Data is gathered from the transfermarkt website.

The Premier League is by far one of the world’s most entertaining leagues. They have some of the best managers, players and fans! But, what makes it truly entertaining is the sheer unpredictability. There are 6 equally amazing teams with a different team lifting the trophy every season. Not only that, the league has also witnessed victories from teams outside of the top 6. So, let us analyze some of these instances.

So far, the implementation of statistics into soccer has been positive. Teams can easily gather information about their opponents and their tactics. This convenience allows managers to create well-thought out game plans that suit their team, maximize opponents' weaknesses, and increase their chances of winning.

A goal is scored when the whole of the ball passes over the goal line, between the goalposts and under the crossbar, provided that no offence has been committed by the team scoring the goal. If the goalkeeper throws the ball directly into the opponents' goal, a goal kick is awarded.

THE TIME OF SEASON/MOTIVATION: While a club battling for a league title is going to be hungry for a win, as is a side that is fighting to stay up, a club that has already won the title or has already been relegated is unlikely to work as hard, and often rest players as well. THE REFEREE: Of course, when referee's send players off it make a massive impact on a match, but even if he is just awarding a yellow card then it can affect the outcome of the game as the player booked is less likely to go in as hard for the rest of the match.

SUBSTITUTES: The whole point of substitutes is for them to be able to come on and impact a match. Subs not only bring on a fresh pair of legs that are less tired than starters and more likely to track back and push forward, but can also play crucial roles in the formation of a team.

MIND GAMES/MANAGERS: Playing mind games has almost become a regular routine for top level managers, and rightly so. Just a simple mind game can do so much to impact a match, a good example coming from Sir Alex Ferguson.

Per his autobiography, when Manchester United were losing late on in a match at a certain point he would tap his watch and make sure to let the opposition know he is signalling this to his players. United's opposition already know that United have a tendency to come back from behind, and upon seeing this gesture they will think that United are going to come back. And because scientific studies prove that living creatures are more likely to accept things that have happened before than not - horses are more likely to lose to a horse they have already lost to in a race even if they are on an even playing field - they often succumb to a loss.

FORM/INJURIES/FIXTURES: A team on better form is more likely to win a match than if they have been on a poor run of form, while a team in the middle of a condensed run of fixtures is less likely to win than a well rested team. These are just some of the things that affect matches - if you have any other just mention them in the comment section below and I'll try to add them in!
