Manchester City’s perfect 5-0 start under new manager Enzo Maresca, including a 5-3 win over Sunderland, has placed them atop the 2026-27 Premier League table with 15 points and the strongest early goal difference. Defending champions Arsenal sit second on 12 points after a 3-0 defeat at Brighton, whose prolific attack (16 goals) has propelled them to third. Unbeaten sides like Brentford, Leeds, Liverpool, and Everton occupy mid-table positions with nine points each, while promoted Hull City and struggling sides such as Tottenham and Fulham lag further back. Upcoming fixtures after the international break, including Arsenal versus Leeds, will test whether City’s momentum or Arsenal’s depth sustains their respective points hauls through the long season.
