After matchday 3 of the Premier League season, we have a clear scoreboard leader at the head, already taking a step ahead of the rest.
It may be only a 2-point difference, but that got them ahead of the now 5 teams’ draw fighting over for the 2nd place.
When we look at the opposite side, we already have a clear relegation zone, with 4 teams still stuck at 0 points as of this moment.
For the teams at the front, the defending champions are once again holding the lead with 3 straight wins and no losses so far.
The 4 teams who are in the current draw for second include West Ham, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Arsenal, all with 2 wins and a draw.
The fight is keeping itself interesting, as Arsenal is not looking to let Manchester City get far ahead, as the last time it happened, it cost them the championship title.

Where Can I Watch it?
Fulham may have failed to record their second league win at Arsenal but they will surely take heart from the hard-earned point they take back to west London, particularly after two big calls went against them.
The Gunners’ overriding feeling is likely to be one of frustration after failing to move above Tottenham and into top spot in the Premier League, with sloppy errors undermining Mikel Arteta’s side.
Saka inadvertently set up Andreas Pereira for Fulham’s opener within the first minute and Palhinha was handed the freedom of the penalty area to score the visitors’ equalizer.
Saka made amends for his error by scoring a second-half penalty and Nketiah put the hosts ahead with their controversial second, but the Gunners could not see out the win.
Joao Palhinha stunned Arsenal with a late equalizer as 10-player Fulham came back to claim a dramatic 2-2 draw at the Emirates and end their hosts’ perfect start to the Premier League season.

Where Can I Watch?
Manchester United came from two goals down inside four minutes to win 3-2 against 10-player Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.
Goals from Taiwo Awoniyi and Willy Boly had stunned United and given Steve Cooper’s side an excellent opportunity to claim their first away win in the Premier League since January but Christian Eriksen pulled one back and those hopes disappeared in the second half.
Casemiro leveled and when Joe Worrall was sent off for a foul on Bruno Fernandes, the momentum proved irresistible.
The United captain scored the winner from the penalty spot after Marcus Rashford was fouled by Danilo.
It was a dramatic win for Erik ten Hag’s team.

Where Can I Watch?
Manchester City moved to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 win at Sheffield United on Sunday after Rodri scored an 88th-minute winner to secure their third of the season.
City striker Erling Haaland missed a first-half penalty given for a hand-ball as his spot-kick hit the post.
But the Norwegian made amends just after the hour-mark when he opened the scoring with a close-range header from a cross by Jack Grealish.
Sheffield United equalized in the 85th minute when the hosts capitalized on a defensive error from Kyle Walker’s botched backheel clearance and Jayden Bogle fired an angled shot through the crowd and beat City keeper Éderson.
Just as United looked to have gained their first point on their return to the top flight; with the scores level at 1-1 and the clock winding down, the ball came to Phil Foden in the United box and although the English midfielder had no control over it, Rodri stepped in to power a half-volley into the top corner.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side were left heartbroken when Rodri fired home the winner.
Premier League Matchday 3: Newcastle 1 – 2 Liverpool

Moneyline odds:
Newcastle +160
Liverpool +260
Draw Offs:
+140
Where Can I Watch?
Newcastle was dominant following Anthony Gordon’s 25th-minute opener — capitalizing on a mistake by Trent Alexander-Arnold — and the dismissal of Reds center-back Virgil van Dijk for fouling Alexander Isak as the last defender in the 28th minute.
Visiting goalkeeper Alisson produced a sensational save to turn Miguel Almiron’s thunderous shot against the woodwork shortly after the hosts went ahead, and the Paraguay attacker also hit a post in the second half as Liverpool failed to have a shot on target for 53 minutes following Van Dijk’s departure.
That changed when Nunez, who had come on four minutes earlier, picked up a ricochet off Sven Botman, charged inside the penalty area, and drilled a fierce, precise low finish past Nick Pope and in off a post with nine minutes remaining.
Darwin Nunez struck twice in 13 minutes to complete an extraordinary comeback and give Liverpool a late 2-1 win at Newcastle United as their unbeaten start to the season continued in the Premier League.
