How To
Premier League Standings: How To Interpret them
Understanding Premier League standings are essential to follow the progress of the season. The league table is ranked mostly by total point. Three points are given for a win. One point is awarded for a drawn match. And none for losing. If there is a tie in points, then the first tiebreaker will be goal difference, which is goals scored minus those conceded. The table can give you an idea of who will be the champion, qualify for European tournaments or even face relegation.
