*teams bolded are currently in the Premier League
Liverpool sit at the top of the daylight savings table, with an impressive 71 points (a 2.29ppm average) and 72 goals scored over the 31 matches played. Up against 43rd place Nottingham Forest, it’s likely Liverpool will continue to dominate over this particular weekend.
Manchester United are second, with 63 points and a ppm of 2.03. Ranking above their city rivals is a refreshing change in comparison to recent times. However with the Manchester Derby scheduled for this Sunday, City have a chance to begin closing the gap.
Although their 60 points and average of 2 ppm secures them third place, Arsenal have recorded only two losses in 30 matches. The Gunners welcome Sheffield United to the Emirates on Saturday afternoon, who have won just once on the Daylight Saving weekend.
Brentford are the only current Premier League team who are yet to win on this particular weekend, losing one and drawing the other as they search for their first ever victory. That will have to come against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, a side who has won 17 out of a possible 30 fixtures since the Premier League began back in 1992.
