Newcastle United now closing in on Liverpool? Premier League teams winning matches | OneFootball

Newcastle United, as measured up against all the other Premier League teams.

How do we gauge it?

Which Premier League teams are outperforming their rival?

For Newcastle United and the rest, it surely comes down to what it always does.

How many matches you are winning.

So I have had a look at all 20 Premier League clubs this season…

We are now eight months into the 2024/25 season, this is how many matches each Premier League team has won (and lost), in Premier League AND domestic cup competitions (as of the morning of Wednesday 16 April 2025):

28 and 5 Liverpool

26 and 10 Newcastle United

21 and 10 Forest

21 and 10 Man City

20 and 9 Villa

18 and 11 Palace

17 and 10 Brighton

17 and 10 Chelsea

17 and 12 Fulham

16 and 12 Bournemouth

16 and 19 Tottenham

15 and 15 Brentford

14 and 16 Man U

13 and 19 Wolves

10 and 12 Everton

10 and 17 West Ham

7 and 24 Leicester

6 and 20 Ipswich

6 and 28 Southampton

As you can see above, when it comes to domestic competitions this season, Newcastle United are second most successful, when it comes to winning football matches.

It is still only Liverpool who have won more domestic matches this season than Eddie Howe’s side.

However, that gap is now only two and the scousers so lucky to win against West Ham on Sunday with a winner in the 89th minute, plus United of course have this game in hand to play tonight against Palace.

It would be quite astonishing if by the end of the season, Newcastle could potentially match the number of Liverpool domestic wins this campaign, or even possibly exceed the scousers’ total of wins.

Newcastle United have won their last five domestic games, whilst Liverpool have lost two of their last four, plus were very fortunate to defeat the Hammers on Sunday.

Newcastle now with five more wins than Forest and Man City, six more than Arsenal and Villa, eight or more than the rest.

Now having won a Cup Final and fourth in the Premier League table, if getting at least a point against Palace, Eddie Howe’s side would then be third in the Premier League by around 9.30pm tonight.

To put this into proper context, quite incredible the number of Newcastle United domestic wins this 2024/25 season, compare it to past seasons:

14 wins – 2019/20

14 wins – 2020/21

13 wins – 2021/22

24 wins – 2022/23

23 wins – 2023/24

26 wins – 2024/25 (with seven matches still to go!)
