Diary of the season

* 31 August 2022: The first month of the Premier League season ends with Arsenal top of the table with the only 100% record in the division, 2 points ahead of Manchester City. Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton & Hove Albion, Liverpool, Leeds United and Fulham complete the top seven. Leicester City finish August bottom of the league, albeit with a game in hand (against Manchester United). Wolverhampton Wanderers (18th) and Aston Villa complete the relegation zone, with Everton evading the bottom three on goals scored. Sheffield United lead the Championship at the end of the month, ahead of the three sides relegated from the Premier League last season – Norwich City, Burnley, and Watford. Blackburn Rovers and Reading complete the top six. Coventry City prop up the Championship, but have three games in hand over most of the rest of the table due to three home games being postponed due to an unsafe playing pitch. One of those is against Huddersfield Town, who stand in 23rd; Birmingham City are 22nd. * 30 September 2022: At the end of a month disrupted by the international break and the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Arsenal remain top of the Premier League, a point ahead of Manchester City and Spurs. Brighton, Manchester United, Fulham, and Chelsea round out the top seven. Leicester remain bottom of the Premier League as only one of three teams in the Football League yet to win in the league, joined in the relegation zone by West Ham United (18th) and Nottingham Forest. Sheffield United continue to lead the Championship, 3 points ahead of Norwich. Reading, Burnley, Luton Town (who have played a game more than their promotion rivals), and Sunderland (ahead of Queens Park Rangers and Blackburn on goal difference) make up the play-off places. Coventry City, the second of three winless teams (the third being fourth-tier Hartlepool United), remain bottom with their three games in hand. Huddersfield Town also remain in 23rd. Middlesbrough are 22nd, behind West Bromwich Albion on goal difference. * 31 October 2022: Arsenal remain top of the Premier League at the end of October, 2 points ahead of Manchester City. Spurs and Newcastle United hold the other 2 Champions League spots, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Fulham finishing the month in the top seven. Leicester have ended their winless streak but finish October in 18th, forcing Nottingham Forest down to 20th; West Ham have escaped the relegation zone at the expense of Wolves. Burnley have climbed to top of the Championship, 2 points ahead of Lancastrian rivals Blackburn. The play-off zone is completely changed from the end of September, and now consists of QPR, Sheffield United, Watford and Swansea. Coventry have escaped the relegation zone, and now West Brom are now bottom of the league, 4 points behind Huddersfield. Middlesbrough have escaped 22nd at the expense of Wigan Athletic. * 30 November 2022: A month with a football schedule ended early by the FIFA World Cup in Qatar finishes with Arsenal having increased their lead over Manchester City at the Premier League summit to 5 points. Newcastle have jumped ahead of Spurs, as Liverpool and Brighton have done to Chelsea and Fulham; Manchester United remain fifth. Wolves end the month bottom of the league and facing the ignomity of being bottom at Christmas. Nottingham Forest are now 18th, with the Midlands clubs sandwiching Southampton in the bottom three. Burnley remain top of the Championship, 3 points ahead of Sheffield United, who have swapped positions with Blackburn. Watford climb to fourth, Norwich return to the play-off zone to stand in fifth, and Coventry complete a spectacular 2 month streak of good form to finish November in sixth.
