The Premier League live table tonight paints a dramatic picture at both ends, as of Matchday 9.
At the top, Manchester City sit first with 21 points from 9 games, with 7 wins and 2 losses, scoring 20 and conceding 10 for a +10 goal difference. Arsenal are level on 21 points from just 8 games, boasting the best defensive record with only 5 goals conceded. Brighton are the surprise package in third on 19 points, with the league's most potent attack so far — 24 goals scored and a +17 difference.
Chelsea climb to fourth on 16 points after their win over Manchester United, while Liverpool sit fifth on 15 points from 8 games, still unbeaten in all but one match.
The mid-table is incredibly congested. Brentford, Bournemouth, Hull, Leeds, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Ipswich Town are separated by just three points between 14 and 11 points, showing how one win can change the entire outlook.
At the bottom, the crisis is historic. Crystal Palace are 17th on 8 points, Fulham 16th on 8, Coventry 15th on 9, but the real shock is Manchester United. The Red Devils are 18th — inside the relegation zone — with just 1 win, 4 draws and 4 losses, 10 goals scored, 15 conceded and 7 points. Below them, Nottingham Forest have 6 points and Sunderland are bottom with 5 points.
