Spurs are the only side yet to drop points thus far, winning all their three opening fixtures of the campaign under the tutelage of Nuno Espirito.

The north London outfit have also yet to concede a goal, a new club record that now has them sitting on the summit of the charts with nine points.

Man United's slim 1-0 win away at Wolves fired them to third with seven points, on level with rivals Chelsea and Liverpool - who battled to a 1-1 draw on Saturday, August 27.

Everton are the other side who have bagged seven points under Rafa Benitez, but their relatively inferior goal difference has them sitting sixth behind Liverpool and Chelsea.

However, their tally affords them a point above Man City who are seventh despite their huge 5-0 win over Arsenal.

The result was, without doubt, the biggest of the weekend as City subjected the Gunners to more misery.

The Emirates dwellers have neither picked a point nor scored a goal, a woeful run of form that now has them rocked bottom of the table.

Norwich City and Wolves - both who have also not earned any point thus far are also in the relegation zone.
