The Premier League season has finally come to an end with Manchester City winning the Premier League for the third time in a row. However, it is surprising to learn that despite Manchester City's form this season, they are not the most progressive club in the English Premier League when considering the Premier League table for the last two seasons. This title belongs to Newcastle United.
Eddie Howe's army had a special season. They reached the Carabao Cup final, a game they horribly lost to Manchester United before qualifying for the Champions League against Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. Newcastle United finish the 2021/22 season in 11th place with 49 points. However, they ended the season just ended with 71 points and finished in 4th place.
The second most progressive club in the Premier League using the same metrics is Manchester United. The Red Devils have turned the situation around in the season that has just ended. After a season that saw them finish in 6th place with 58 points and a goal difference of 0, in the 2022/23 season, they finished the season in 3rd place with 75 goals and Goal difference +15. That's a 17-point difference between the two seasons.
The third most progressive club in the Premier League based on point difference between the previous two seasons is Aston Villa. Since Unai Emery took charge of the club, they have been excellent. Their form made them finish the season with 61 points while last season they finished the season with 45 points. That's a difference of 16 points. Here is a complete list of the clubs that have improved the most in the Premier League over the past two seasons:

While moving cautiously in the transfer market following their lucrative takeover in 2021, Newcastle enter the new season with a new signing record through their ranks in the form of Alexander Isak - paid £63m to Real Sociedad for his services while also shrewdly attracting acquisitions of Nick Pope and Sven Botman to strengthen the ailing backline.
A new long-term contract for Howe follows, and a very promising season is underway. A 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest would have been the perfect start for the Magpies, but a six-match winless streak soon followed, sending them immediately to the bottom half of the table.
However, there will be no Halloween horror show for Howe's men, who quickly began their promotion in October with 16 points taken from 18 possible points. In those five wins, the reincarnated Miguel Almiron scored - earning him the Premier League Player of the Month award in October while Howe won the coach's award.
The top two rivals at Crystal Palace and Bournemouth have also been seen in the EFL Cup on either side of the World Cup break - in which Howe's in-form side stepped in to sit on the podium - but the New Year celebrations are similar. relatively quiet in Tyneside.
Draws were drawn close to then-leaders Leeds United and Arsenal before a disastrous FA Cup defeat at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday, who won the third round at Hillsborough 2-1 thanks to a goal. Josh Windass double, but an EFL Cup Silver Cup path remains open thanks to the quarter-final success against Leicester City. Despite the surprise loss to the Owls, Howe's resilient defense continued to win domestically - keeping six clean sheets after recovering in the top flight - and by going professional against Southampton, Newcastle won tickets to Wembley for the EFL Cup final.

With the exception of the £45m acquisition of Anthony Gordon from Everton, the January transfer window has been relatively peaceful for the Magpies - who have also acquired young talents such as Garang Kuol and Harrison Ashby - but prepare for a big one. The long journey south to Wembley has been delayed. less optimal.
After Pope's first red card, Newcastle's 17-match unbeaten run in the Premier League - the longest of the season - ended with a 0-2 home defeat to Liverpool, marking a five-match winless streak. third in their first domestic cup final in 24 years ended in misery for Manchester United.
With Pope suspended and Martin Dubravka ineligible after an early-season loan at Old Trafford, Loris Karius was named in the starting XI at Wembley in his first England appearance since the 2018 Champions League final was fraught with risk, but he was not there. won't be a hero to the Germans, and salt rubs the wound when Howe's side falls.
