The standings aren’t exactly anything to worry about at the moment, but only at the moment.

After a couple of weeks or more leading towards the end of the year, things should start shaping up for one of the toughest fights in Premier League history.

From the expected top six, Arsenal sit way below where they suppose to. Man United, who are mooted to be one of the favourites sit exactly where they were predicted to be. Unlike their bad neighbours Man City.

Huddersfield is making it a thing to stay on the topside of the table and remain unbeaten in their efforts. Chelsea creep their way slowly up the table and catch up with the top four, with a point the only thing stopping them.

Four points is the little difference between ninth and twentieth place. This shows how early it is in the league and far to early to be writing off teams.

However, if you wanted to have a good laugh, then looking at the Gunners you’d see how a loss could put them in one of the bottom three slots. What makes things even more interesting, Arsenal play Bournemouth in a bottom of the table clash!
