"The 2025-26 Premier League season has reached a key stage and the so-called traditional "Big Six" -- Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur -- have experienced wildly contrasting fortunes on their way to the 10-game mark, though they all currently sit inside the top eight, with Bournemouth in fourth place and Sunderland in seventh."
"Four managers have already been fired: Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou (both Nottingham Forest), Graham Potter (West Ham) and Vitor Pereira (Wolves). And others, including United's Ruben Amorim, have found themselves under intense pressure."
"STORY SO FAR: After three consecutive runners-up finishes in the Premier League, this season might have been billed as "Now or Never" for Mikel Arteta's hopes of winning Arsenal's first Premier League title since 2004, especially with the club spending over £250 million on new signings this summer."
After ten Premier League matches, Arsenal sit top with a six-point lead and significant summer investment exceeding £250 million on new signings. The traditional Big Six display varied performances but all occupy top-eight places, while Bournemouth are fourth and Sunderland seventh. Four managers — Nuno Espirito Santo, Ange Postecoglou, Graham Potter and Vitor Pereira — have been dismissed and other coaches face intense scrutiny. Arsenal face criticism for cautious tactics in certain games but remain positioned to challenge for the title. Most clubs have completed ten fixtures, giving clearer pointers for the season ahead.
