This Premier League season is already shaping out to be an exciting one. Although it appears the league winner looks to be Manchester City, the race for Europe and the relegation battle will go down to the wire. Here is a rating of every team out of 10 for their season so far-

Arsenal- 5th- Rating- 7/10- Although their fans may believe otherwise, the Gunners have made a solid start to the season and look good enough to qualify for the Champions League. They were never going to be title contenders in all honesty.

Bournemouth- 14th- 7/10- It has been a tough start for Eddie Howe’s side but they have improved. Survival is the ultimate aim and it looks like they will achieve that.

Brighton- 12th- 8/10- It has been a good start to life in the Premier League for the Seagulls and they are comfortably above the drop zone.

Burnley- 7th- 10/10-It has been an unbelievable start for the Clarets and Sean Dyche has their fans dreaming of Europe! They could not have asked for any better.

Chelsea- 3rd- 6/10- It appears the current champions will not repeat last season.

Crystal Palace- 18th- 3/10- It was a shambolic start for the Eagles but they have shown promising signs under Roy Hodgson.

Everton- 10th- 5/10- After a summer of such promise, the Toffees have disappointed many. Ronald Koeman has been sacked and Sam Allardyce has come in. Their fans will be praying for some stability now.

Huddersfield- 16th- 8/10- They have made a decent start to the season when many expected them to struggle.

Leicester- 9th- 7/10- A pretty solid enough start for the 2016 champions.

Liverpool- 4th- 7/10- They may feel they want to be higher but the Reds have played some great counter attacking football this season.

Man City- 1st- 10/10- They appear to be running away with the league and it would take some doing for a team to catch them. The Manchester Derby on Sunday is huge for the blue side of the City.

Man United- 2nd- 8/10- Jose Mourinho’s side have grinded out some top wins and are now hoping to latch on City’s tail.

Newcastle- 15th- 7/10- It has been a solid enough start for the Toon after promotion last season.

Southampton- 11th- 6/10- In terms of league position, the Saints have done alright but they have not really got their fans off their feet yet.

Stoke- 13th- 6/10- Similarly to the Saints, yes they will survive but in terms of doing anything else or trying to get up the league, they are not showing any sign of improving even more.

Swansea- 20th- 2/10- There are no positives for the Swans so far and they look in real danger.

Spurs- 6th- 4/10- After two great seasons in the top flight I expected more from Spurs this campaign. They have done great in the Champions League though so we know where their priorities lie!

Watford- 8th- 9/10- Some expected the Hornets to struggle but appointing Marco Silva was an absolute masterstroke, they play some very good football.

West Brom- 17th- 4/10- They sacked Tony Pulis after a poor start. They may well be in a battle to survive this season.

West Ham- 19th- 2/10- A dreadful start for the Hammers. David Moyes has a tough job on his hands.
