There have been over 30,000 goals scored in since the inception of the Premier League in 1992, with Manchester United leading the way as the competition's all-time top scorers.
At the other end of the spectrum though, there are also teams that have shipped a huge amount over the last 34 years.
Unsurprisingly, the division's six ever-present sides all make the top ten for goals conceded due to their longevity.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have all played 1,309 games in England's top flight since 1992 -- 114 more than any other club -- and have therefore had many more opportunities to concede goals.
The make up of the rest of the list goes pretty much hand-in-hand with the all-time Premier League appearances by club list, with Manchester City the only side to not feature in the top ten of both.
Though the Cityzens are the closest club to making the top ten for goals conceded having shipped 1,219 thus far.
Teams to concede the most goals in Premier League history
- Tottenham Hotspur (1,692)
- Everton (1,686)
- West Ham United (1,685)
- Newcastle United (1,623)
- Aston Villa (1,569)
- Southampton (1,441)
- Chelsea (1,342)
- Liverpool (1,333)
- Arsenal (1,285)
- Manchester United (1,279)
Numbers correct as of 07/10/2026.
Spurs overtook Everton as the team to concede more than any other in the Premier League during the 2025/26 season, and West Ham ran them close too.
The Hammers may find themselves falling down the list this term though following their relegation to the Championship at the end of the campaign, theirs and Southampton's totals are of course frozen until they return to the top-flight.
