Manchester City and Liverpool Lead with Perfect Starts

Manchester City and Liverpool have started the new Premier League season with perfect records each winning their first three games. In stark contrast, Everton are struggling at the bottom of the table still without a point. The international break provides an opportunity for teams to regroup and assess their performances so far.

Manchester City: Erling Haaland is in sensational form, scoring seven goals in three games including back-to-back hat-tricks. With 70 goals in 69 games, he’s on track to reach 100 Premier League goals soon. City’s squad will strengthen post-break as key players like Rodri, John Stones, Phil Foden and Kyle Walker return to full fitness.

Liverpool: Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool has also won all three games, scoring seven goals and conceding none. Slot has made a seamless transition becoming the first Liverpool manager to win his opening three league games without conceding. Mohamed Salah entering the final year of his contract, has scored in every match.

Brighton: Fabian Hurzeler the Premier League’s youngest manager has led Brighton to impressive results including a draw against Arsenal and victories over Everton and Manchester United. Brighton’s high possession stats and attacking play highlight their strong start.

Arsenal: Kai Havertz is beginning to prove his worth as a striker with two goals in three games, showing improvement in his new role. Arsenal has conceded just one goal this season and remains solid defensively.

Newcastle: Despite not playing their best football, Newcastle has secured seven points from three games. Their resilience and determination have been key to their positive start even as they missed out on some summer transfer targets.

Brentford: Life post-Ivan Toney seems promising with Bryan Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa stepping up. The team has won two of their first three games.

Aston Villa: Villa has had a strong start, but Ollie Watkins is yet to score. His goal drought is a concern, though past form suggests he will find his stride soon.

Bournemouth: Antoine Semenyo has been crucial for Bournemouth, scoring or assisting in every game so far.

Nottingham Forest: Forest is showing improvement especially with their away form, after a tough start.

Tottenham: Tottenham is struggling to capitalize on chances, partly due to injuries and lack of depth following Harry Kane’s departure.

Chelsea: Chelsea’s new-look squad is still a work in progress under Enzo Maresca. The team’s inconsistent performances reflect ongoing adjustments.

Fulham: Emile Smith Rowe’s arrival from Arsenal is promising with the midfielder showing potential despite an inconsistent start.

West Ham: West Ham’s season under Julen Lopetegui is still finding its feet with early encouraging signs despite tough fixtures.

Manchester United: New signings need to deliver and the team’s struggles are compounded by injuries and inconsistent form.

Leicester: Jamie Vardy’s role remains crucial but reliance on the veteran striker may need to shift as the season progresses.

Crystal Palace: Eberechi Eze continues to be a standout player, crucial for the team’s attacking play.

Ipswich: The newly promoted side is adjusting to the Premier League showing signs of competitiveness despite early defeats.

Wolves: Shifting to a new defensive setup has exposed Wolves at the back, though they aim to solidify their defense.

Southampton: The Saints are struggling to adapt to the top flight with their possession-based style not yet yielding results.

Everton: A disastrous start leaves Everton at the bottom of the table. After a recent collapse against Bournemouth, pressure is mounting on manager Sean Dyche.
