Tottenham Hotspur became just the fifth club to reach 2,000 points in Premier League history, getting there ahead of Manchester City. But where do Spurs rank in the all-time Premier League table, and are City likely to catch up to them any time soon?
Tottenham reached a significant milestone by beating Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday as the win took them beyond 2,000 Premier League points.
The result saw Spurs join only Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea in the exclusive club.
Chelsea 0-2 Tottenham
It was a memorable evening for Roberto De Zerbi, who won his tactical battle with Xabi Alonso to deliver Tottenham only their second away win over Chelsea in the Premier League era, which began in 1992.
Spurs had won just one of their previous 36 top-flight visits to Stamford Bridge, but a Mike Penders own goal and a superb individual effort from Mathys Tel secured all three points.
Saturday’s victory will likely have come as a surprise to many Tottenham supporters, given their club’s miserable Premier League record at Stamford Bridge.
Indeed, their historical struggles at Chelsea had been even more pronounced than Tottenham’s head-to-head record against Manchester United during the Sir Alex Ferguson era.
Q: Can Roberto De Zerbi help Spurs banish their Stamford Bridge demons?

It will seem strange to many younger fans that Manchester City are below Tottenham in the all-time Premier League table.
After all, City have won eight Premier League titles over the past decade and a half, while Spurs have never finished higher than second.
But City’s lower ranking is largely due to them playing fewer matches than Spurs, who – along with Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton – have taken part in all 35 editions of the Premier League.
City were outside of England’s top division in 1996/97, 1997/98, 1998/99, 1999/00 and 2001/02, meaning they have played 190 fewer Premier League fixtures than Spurs and their fellow ever-presents.
Despite playing 190 fewer Premier League matches, City have actually won 17 more than Tottenham, boasting an all-time win rate of 51.69% compared with Spurs’ 42.91%.
However, Tottenham remain ahead in the all-time standings thanks to their greater number of draws (312 to City’s 239), which more than makes up for the difference in wins.
Several other former Premier League champions sit much further below Spurs in the all-time table, with 1994/95 winners Blackburn Rovers 12th and Leicester lower still in 15th despite their heroics in 2015/16.
Tottenham and Manchester City: All-time Premier League statistics

Tottenham and Manchester City statistics correct as of 24 October 2026, following both clubs’ matches that day.
Will Man City join the 2,000-point club?
Based on recent form, it looks very likely that Man City will join the 2,000-point club at some point during the 2026/27 season.
Prior to their defeat on Saturday, which Andy Schooler successfully predicted in his Aston Villa v Man City betting tips preview, Enzo Maresca’s team had won all seven of their Premier League matches this season.
City have also not finished a Premier League campaign with fewer than 71 points since 2015/16.
However, after being found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges brought by the Premier League over breaches of financial regulations and failures to cooperate with the league’s investigation between 2009 and 2018, there is a very real possibility that City could lose points as well as gain them over the coming months.
City have appealed the ruling and continue to maintain their innocence, with their punishment yet to be confirmed. A substantial points deduction could form part of the sanctions, while relegation or even expulsion from the Premier League remain possible outcomes.
So, will Manchester City become the sixth club to reach 2,000 Premier League points this season? Or could their tally actually fall? With historical points deductions already reflected in the all-time standings, City’s position in the table could look very different once their punishment is decided.
