Jakarta, ThedailyID — Arsenal and Manchester City have emerged as early favorites for the Premier League title after winning all four opening games.
Arsenal, the defending champions, have made an impressive start. The team also strengthened its squad with several new signings.
After four matches, Arsenal have collected a perfect 12 points. They have scored eight goals and conceded just once.
Manchester City have matched that record. Despite losing Pep Guardiola and Rodri, the club have also taken 12 points from four games.
Enzo Maresca has guided City to an impressive start. They have scored eight goals while conceding two.
Meanwhile, several other major clubs have struggled to keep pace.
Hull City and Brighton currently occupy third and fourth place. They have collected eight and seven points respectively.
Chelsea sit fifth with seven points. Although they have scored 10 goals, their defense has looked vulnerable. The Blues have already conceded nine goals.
Liverpool, meanwhile, remain unbeaten. However, the Reds have won only once and drawn three times.
That record leaves Liverpool with six points after four games.
Manchester United have made an even worse start. They have collected only four points and sit 13th in the standings.
Tottenham Hotspur have struggled the most among the major clubs. Despite heavy spending, Spurs have managed only two points.
They have also failed to score in their first four matches. As a result, Tottenham sit 17th.
However, the title race remains far from decided. Teams still have 34 league matches to play this season.
Therefore, it is too early to say the title race will only involve Arsenal and Manchester City.
Still, both clubs have shown remarkable consistency in the opening four matches. Their perfect records also give them an early advantage over several traditional rivals.
