Diary of the season
- 17 August 2024: The first Premier League match without Jurgen Klopp in the dugout since October 2015 took place, as new Liverpool boss Arne Slot oversaw his side defeat newboys Ipswich Town 2–0 at Portman Road. Ironically, Ipswich's last Premier League fixture came against the Reds, whom relegated them on the final day of the 2001-02 season.
- 31 August 2024: The first month of Premier League action ends with Manchester City leading the table, being the only side so far to win all 3 of their fixtures. Brighton & Hove Albion and Arsenal follow 2 points behind - with Brighton 2nd by virtue of goals scored - with Liverpool on 6 points, albeit having played 2 games. Brentford, Aston Villa and Bournemouth round out the top 7. Everton, Southampton and Crystal Palace make up the bottom 3, having not won a single point so far, with Wolves, Ipswich and Leicester being outside the relegation zone by 1 point. In the Championship, Sunderland lead the table, having made a perfect start of 4 wins out of 4. West Bromwich Albion and Watford follow closely in 2nd and 3rd respectively, with Leeds, Blackburn Rovers and Burnley rounding out the top 6. Cardiff City are bottom of the table with 1 point so far, separated on goal difference by 23rd-placed Luton, who are finding life difficult back in the Championship. Rounding out the bottom 3 are Plymouth Argyle, one point ahead of the afformentioned sides.
- 14 September 2024: Nottingham Forest claim a shock 1–0 victory over Liverpool in Anfield, the Reds' first win at this ground since 1969.
- 30 September 2024: September concludes with Liverpool now in the lead, 1 point ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal - both tied for 2nd place, separated by goal difference. Chelsea follow in 4th place, another point behind, separated from Aston Villa on goal difference as well, while Fulham and Newcastle round out the top 7. Wolverhampton Wanderers, Southampton and Crystal Palace - all winless - occupy the bottom 3, with Leicester City and Ipswich Town - outside the drop zone on goals scored and by 1 point, respectively - also remain without a win so far, the first time in Premier League history that 5 sides head into October having not won once until now. In the Championship, West Bromwich occupy top place, with Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers - tied on points and goals - following closely. Burnley, Leeds and Sheffield United round out the top 6, with the other recently relegated side, Luton Town, having somewhat recovered from their terrible start but still standing at a measly 19th place, 6 points off the Blades. Cardiff City have lost all of their games this month and remain rock bottom with just 1 point after 7 matches, joined in the relegation zone by League One champions Portsmouth - also winless so far - and Preston North End, while Coventry stand outside the bottom 3 by virtue of goal difference.
- 10 October 2024: England suffer a shock 2–1 home defeat to Greece, their first defeat ever from this opposition, in an overall terrible performance that also saw the away side have 3 goals ruled out for offside, in an emotional night following the sudden death of footballer George Baldock.
- 15 October 2024: The Football Association announce that the former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will become the new manager of the England national team effective from 1 January 2025. The 51-year old German becomes England's third non-English manager on a contract that will last initially for eighteen months.
- 31 October 2024: October draws the curtain with Manchester City - which are the only side in England's top 4 divisions to be still undefeated - having now claimed top spot and leading over Liverpool by 1 point. Arsenal and Aston Villa, both 4 points off the Reds, round out the top 4, while Chelsea, Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest - having made their best start to a Premier League season in 29 years - round out the top 7. Southampton are rock bottom with just 1 point so far, joined in the bottom 3 by Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town - all afformentioned sides still being without a win after 9 matchdays so far, Crystal Palace having just picked up their 1st win of the campaign to move out of the relegation zone; the same goes for Leicester City who have picked up their first 2 wins this month to move 5 points off the bottom 3. In the Championship, Sunderland have regained top spot and now have built a 5-point lead over 2nd place following an electric run of form in October. Burnley and Leeds are tied for 2nd place, the Clarets ahead by goal difference, while Sheffield United - who would be 2nd if not for a 2-point deduction - West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn Rovers round out the top 6, Watford outside by virtue of goal difference. Portsmouth have claimed their 1st victory of the campaign but now are bottom, with Queens Park Rangers 1 point ahead following a terrible run of form, while Luton Town are also back in the drop zone following an almost equally poor run of form, with 4 sides tied at just 1 point ahead of the relegation zone - including Cardiff City who have embarked on an impressive run of form during October to move up to 20th place.
- 2 November 2024: Manchester City suffer a 2–1 defeat away to Bournemouth, halting their undefeated start to the season.
- 9 November 2024: A 2-1 away defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion means that, for the first time since 2006, Manchester City have lost 4 games in a row in all competitions - their worst run of form since Pep Guardiola took over. This allows Liverpool, who defeated Aston Villa 2–0, to move five points clear at the summit of the table.
- 10 November 2024: After 10 matches without a win, Ipswich Town claim their first Premier League victory for the season - and first since April 2002 - by defeating Tottenham 2–1 away.
- 23 November 2024: Manchester City's crisis deepens as the club slumps to a 4–0 home defeat to Tottenham, in what is the heaviest home defeat of the Pep Guardiola era - meaning the 53-year-old has lost 5 games in succession for the first time in his career.
- 24 November 2024: A hard fought 3–2 win for Liverpool at Southampton allows the Reds to open an 8-point gap over 2nd placed Manchester City, just before the Citizens' visit to Anfield on 1 December.
- 30 November 2024: With a few more Premier League games to be played this round, November ends with Liverpool leading the Premier League table by 6 points over 2nd-placed Arsenal. An impressive Brighton & Hove Albion follow in 3rd, while a nightmare month for Manchester City finds the Citizens in 4th place - depending on the result of their match at Anfield as well as Chelsea's they could end up anywhere from 2nd to 5th. Chelsea follow in 5th, while the top 7 is rounded out by Nottingham Forest and Brentford - both sides impressing so far after battling for their survival last season, the Reds even reaching as high as 3rd earlier in the month, while the Bees possess so far the best home record of any Premier League side, having won 19 of their 20 points at their home stadium. Southampton have picked up their 1st victory of the season but remain bottom with just 5 points so far, Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers - both having won for the first time this month as well - having exchanged places in the relegation zone compared to last month, with Crystal Palace standing outside the bottom 3 on goal difference, while Leicester City and Everton are 1 and 2 points off the relegation zone, respectively. In the Championship, Sheffield United claim the lead, holding a 2-point lead - 4-point if not for their points deduction - over 2nd placed Burnley. Leeds United and Sunderland follow closely, in an so far hot battle for the title, while resurgent Middlesbrough and Watford round out the top 6. Portsmouth remain bottom of the table, joined in the drop zone by Queens Park Rangers and Hull City - but the relegation battle is greatly wide open with just 6 points separating bottom Portsmouth from 16th-placed Coventry City.
- 1 December 2024: Liverpool put on an absolutely dominant display to defeat Manchester City 2–0, opening a huge 9-point lead over 2nd place, and standing now 11 points ahead of the Citizens who are in a terrible run of just 1 draw and 6 defeats from their last 7 games across all competitions, having collapsed all the way to 5th place after entering November in 1st and without a Premier League defeat - in stark contrast to the Reds who have made a fantastic start to life under new manager Arne Slot so far, having won 18 of their 20 games in all competitions. Chelsea beat Aston Villa 3–0 and stand now in 2nd place, tied on points, goal difference and goals scored with Arsenal, dropping Brighton into 4th place in the process. A 1-1 home draw with Fulham allows Tottenham to overtake Brentford into 7th by virtue of goal difference, whereas a 4–0 rout of Everton means that Manchester United - in Ruben Amorim's first Premier League home game - re-enter the upper half of the Premier League table for the first time since mid-September.
