Team | P | W | D | L | F | A | GD | Pts | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Arsenal | 5 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 11 | 6 | 5 | 12 |
2 | Tottenham Hotspur | 5 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 12 |
3 | Manchester City | 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 12 | 4 | 8 | 10 |
4 | Chelsea | 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 6 | 2 | 4 | 10 |
5 | Liverpool | 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 10 |
6 | Everton | 5 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 9 |
7 | Southampton | 5 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 8 |
