Thoughts on Each Premier League Club After 7 Matchdays
By David Parkes
Everton
The Toffees are flying high and currently find themselves in a Europa League spot. Demarai Gray and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (3 goals each) account for nearly half of Everton’s 14 goals so far. With three of their next four Premier League games coming at home including a visit from Spurs, it is a great chance for the Merseysiders to keep up with the current top 4.
Brighton
The surprise package so far this season; the Seagulls have managed an impressive 14 points from the first 21 points available – as many as both Manchester clubs and Everton. Despite just scoring 8 times thus far, they have been difficult to break down, conceding 5 goals in 630 minutes of football. The latter point leaves Graham Potter’s side good value for their impressive league position.
Brentford
It should come as surprise to few that the Premier League’s newest side have started so well. They have been exciting to watch, with the 3-3 draw at home to Liverpool and their 2-0 success against Arsenal being the highlights of Brentford’s start of the season. With Chelsea and Leicester to come soon, we will get a good opportunity to see just how solid the new kids on the block are.
Tottenham
After a flying start with 3 wins from 3, a quick turn of events see Spurs with just 12 points from the seven matches. Disappointing defeats to fellow London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal, it won’t get much easier for Nuno Espirito Santo’s charges, with 4 consecutive away games across all competitions coming up. Much needs to improve from Spurs in the league, having found the net on only 6 occasions.
