Which team could be the Dark Horse of the Premier League this season?
But which team have the potential to be the Dark Horse of the season? Last season, it was undoubtedly Nottingham Forest who secured a Europa League spot at the end of the season. At a point, it was looking like they would end up qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. Which team has the potential to become the Dark Horse of the Premier League 2025-26?
Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Bournemouth stand with 9 points each at this moment
A number of so called small teams have high potential to impress all the fans this season. As they are the only unbeaten team in the league so far, after Liverpool and Chelsea. Sunderland, who arguably had the best transfer window so far this season, are also doing quite well. Even Everton is doing a great job.
Bournemouth are doing an excellent job this season in the League
Our pick to be the Dark Horse of the League 2025-26 would be Bournemouth. In their first four games, they have secured three victories, and the only match they lost so far this season was against Liverpool, the defending Premier League Champions, and the only team to maintain a 100% winning record.
They have even defeated Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, the same Tottenham that is looking unstoppable this season. Plus, Bournemouth are also playing really impressive football, so they definitely have the potential to be the Dark Horse of the season, and they can also qualify for European football. If everything goes properly, they may even end up qualifying for Champions League.
