I also think it is too early to predict the Premier League standings because they just played three matches out of thirty-eight for each team.

Newcastle United is still strong even though their defense was a bit stronger last season compared to this season. I believe they can still have a great season as they did last season because they lost just two matches against Manchester City and Liverpool, which is normal because these two teams are physically stronger than them. Although they tried to secure some points against Liverpool last season, this season Liverpool were also prepared for the season because they don’t want to have a bad season again.

They were lucky last season to be able to secure Champions League qualification, but this season their attention will be divided because of Champions League games, even though I am not sure if they will qualify for the round of 16 because of the teams in their group.
But I think they can do something good this season again, even if they don’t make the top four.

Now it will be a little complicated because even though they can still be said to be quite good but there are still some shortcomings that these two clubs have to improve such as for Manchester United about the quality of their attacks which are sometimes not very good and only waste opportunities or for Arsenal whose performance is still up and down and their rhythm is not too erratic.
Chasing Manchester City is definitely one of the things that must be done because looking at the conditions since the rolling epl it seems that Manchester City still hasn't found obstacles even though some of its players cannot compete.

btw that's also a pretty good odds but seeing from the current conditions actually a draw is also possible to happen.

Looking at the actual conditions I don't think it's just about playing home.
Indeed it will also be one of the benchmark odds because seeing from Arsenal who will play at the Emirates of course this will get good support from their fans but on the other hand there are other things because seeing the current statistics Manchester United always loses momentum and their defence is still inconsistent especially Varane and Shaw as one of the defenders who are good enough for them will not be in the match which makes this a good gap and can be exploited by Arsenal.

Being in United with big odds is still something that is quite good but the risk if you see their consistency in defence is a little difficult for me to make a bet.

I remember that one thought I had when Newcastle was playing so well last season that they had this advantage that nobody expected them to play that well and therefore underestimated them. But these times are now over for them. Nowhere where they will play will they be underestimated. I think that can be a great advantage, like Leicester City once had when it was expected that they will stop winning at some point, but they kept winning their games back then and won the title. So Newcastle needs to accept the fact that there is no underestimation anymore.

I agree that Newcastle will do a lot better when the season progresses and I think it should be important that we are going to end up with a result that will be a little different. I think it should be important to notice that they are just having early day troubles and when the manager finds a way to get rid of that, they are going to be better.

I still do not expect them to be like winners or something, the best possible outcome for them would be repeat of last year, where they finish in top four if they are lucky, but anything inside of top 7 would be more than enough for them and should be considered as a good thing. I agree that it is a tough business but that is what they should be aiming at with the roster they have.

Manchester City's performance is still very stable. They are under no pressure. The team is not playing attacking like last season but still their performance is very stable. They have won three of the three matches comfortably. Coach Guardiola is very experienced. This is why Manchester City's performance remains stable. Haaland Haaland is not performing well this season. Haaland was in excellent form last season. However, we are not seeing a better performance from Haaland this season. De Bruyne is also injured. Silva also missed several matches due to injury. I think Manchester City's performance will be stronger if De Bruyne returns to the squad. Haaland's chemistry with De Bruyne is also excellent. So it is expected that if De Bruyne returns to the squad, Haaland's performance will improve even more.

Well, I don't know how prepared Fullham is to face Manchester city, but I personally  would assume that game to be an easy win for Manchester City, the fact that Fullham draw Arsenal by 2:2 in their previous encounter does not necessarily mean they will also do the same with Manchester City, you and I and I believe everyone else here knows that Manchester City has been up and doing way better than Arsenal in this season regardless of the fact that they lost a few players and some of their players are also out due to injury, so I am personally expecting Manchester City to beat Fullham by two goals to nothing or three goals to one.

And about Tottenham, I will not comment on them since I've not had any opportunity to watch any of their games this season, but I hope I find time to watch their coming game against Burnley next tomorrow being the 2nd of September.

The thing is that, Haaland is a very fantastic player and has prove himself at Molde,  RB Salzburg and Dortmund which promoted Guardiola to sign him due to the brilliant goal scoring ability, last season he was the highest goal scorer in both the EPL and Champions League, scoring about 36 goals and 12 respectively but if you noticed this season he's many chances of even getting more goals against Sevilla and Newcastle he missed alot of opportunities that would had made him had more goals than he has now.
 I believe if Kelvin Debruyne was presently in the team it would had been easier for him to get clear chances and convert them into goals due to the good relationship between them, on and off the pitch and i believe he would have had more than the three goals he has in three matches.

I would like to conclude based on my own observation that new players recently joined these three clubs you mentioned, although not in same proportion, but we are talking about some major positions that suffered setback last season.
While a player like Declan Rice is yet to make meaningful noticable impact for Arsenal, an old player like Gabriel Jesus who just returned from injury is met with a team that is under pressure to do better than last season.

I just think these three teams are still finding their footing and composure in the new seasons campaign and although the smaller clubs are doing well in giving them a tough time, with every passing match, the men will be separated from the boys with points.

Manchester City may not be playing as aggressively as they did last season when the season was gradually winding up. Also considering the season is still very young and they’re not under much pressure. Now, if the season was coming to an end, were ahead by a point to the second place team in the league table, they surely would be under a lot of pressure and that could instill discipline into the squad and cause them to perform better.

The season is still in its early stages and they’re currently at the top and leading in the league. Without the aggressiveness and discipline, they’re still at the top.

Season have just started and most teams have not hit their ground running in the EPL,they are still struggling to get match fitness,and we can start talking about a team's form after like 8 premier league games.Manchester city have even tried because they lost some of their players,while some are out due to injury,but they have still managed to get three wins in three games.They will be facing Fulham this weekend,and that match will be a very tough game after Fulham drew Arsenal 2:2 in what was known as a battling encounter.The only team that have what it takes to win the next three to four games coming is Totthenham because they are in a great form,and aren't ready to lose or draw any game again.They are the only team I can bet on at the moment.

The injuries to a number of Manchester United's mainstay players made Erik Ten Hag very worried because the match against Arsenal would not be easy and would potentially drop points again. The Red Devils must hunt for victory if they don't want to be further behind the top of the standings because they have lost at the start of the season. Yes, maybe a draw is quite realistic for MU but it is also not easy. Meanwhile, Arsenal are also targeting full points and they also have ambitions to continue to stick closely to Manchester City at the top of the standings. So this Big Match match will certainly catch the attention of many people, but I predict The Gunners will be able to secure three points at home.

For me, I think all the clubs performance really dropped this season, it's not just about the three clubs you mentioned, every single club participating in the EPL this season that also participated last season has dropped in their performance, but what I am personally assuming is that the unseriousness might just be due to the fact that we are still very early into this EPL, maybe as we progress into the tournament, that is in the middle towards the ending of this season, clubs still participating will become more aggressive and serious, as by then, they will be needing a win in every match to continue to stay or get disqualified.
This is my personal assumption on this matter.

Manchester City's performance is not really good this season. I cant compare their performance this season with last season. I don't really know if it's because of the players that left the club or maybe because of De Bruyne's injury. They even struggled to win their last match, they dominated the match but found it difficult to score. But I notice that it's not only Manchester City's performance that has dropped this season, Arsenal and Manchester United's performances have also dropped. The three clubs are struggling to win their matches this season, which I don't really know the cause, or maybe since it's the beginning of the season the reason.

At the moment Man United are in quite severe trouble. Some of their main players Injuries. Mason Mount, Varane, Malacia, Hojlound, Shaw are reportedly still unable to play against Arsenal. Maybe a draw is a realistic end result for Man United as they are going to the Emirates. So not bad maybe. But maybe a win will make Man United confident to be able to enter as a potential EPL champion this season.

Liverpool's performance is very dependent on the ability of Jurgen Klopp as his coach. Liverpool would be very different if Klopp were not their coach, so they really hope that Klopp will be able to motivate his players well in every Liverpool match this season.

Aston Villa should not be underestimated even though Liverpool is actually far superior at home. Klopp doesn't expect Liverpool to have the same problems as last season again, so he will try his best to get the best performance and results from every match. This week Liverpool are playing at home, so they can count on them to win.

This is what is interesting about the English league, all the teams are difficult to predict and the teams that we consider weak actually give big clubs a surprise. This could also happen to Aston Villa by giving Liverpool a surprise. Although Liverpool were in top form last week after making a remarkable comeback with ten men beating Newcastle United.

Even though Liverpool showed their dominance as a strong team and always displayed very sharp and solid counter attacks. However, this does not mean that Aston Villa can easily be beaten because Aston Villa in the last two matches has also shown a solid performance. Aston Villa has unity and their defense line is also strong and together with a dangerous striker like Ollie Watkins Aston Villa is able to provide a real threat to Liverpool.

Difficulty with bringing in players is due to the UEFA rules which means they will have to sell before allowing these players in. Due to Injury they will need Sergio Regulon from Tottenham or Cucurella from Chelsea but that name will be difficult to attract to United. For defensive midfield they have lined up Amrabat on loan to join Man United. They don't need a striker now they have enough for a defender they already have Jonny Evans signing a one year contract with the club. There is nothing to be surprised the club are struggling and the heads are not doing anything to help the manager get this players he wants. They can not get alll these players.

At this moment, it seems like many people are looking down on Haaland because he can't score many goals, even though in reality at this moment Haaland is still on the list of top scorers in the Premier League with 3 goals. So I think even without Bruyne of course Haaland can still play well and also Haaland is still capable of scoring goals. But indeed, it would be different if Bruyne could still be played, then it would make it easier for Haaland to score lots of goals. But even so, I personally don't mind it too much because after all, the proof is that Haaland can still make a good contribution to the team so far this moment.

This is quite risky for Liverpool's defense and we know that the absence of Virgil van Dijk will leave a hole that is very vulnerable to conceding. We know that Aston Villa has gone crazy this season, having scored 8 goals in the previous 3 matches, the duo Moussa Diaby and Matty Cash have to watch out for Liverpool players in this week's match. But this is Anfield and it is very famous for its awesomeness and it is very unlikely that the visiting team can steal points at home to Liverpool. If you look at the actual statistics, Liverpool are still the favorites to win and the last time their meeting only ended in a draw. I think this time Liverpool will still win, even with a very thin score, considering that Aston Villa is not a team that can be beaten easily.

I think I agree, but a lot will depend on who scores first because if it is Manchester United, we will almost certainly see some defensive game from them and Arsenal to push them like crazy. But on the contrary when Arsenal scores first I doubt that we will see them slow down afterwards and coming back would be a lot harder for Manchester United than it would be for Arsenal, unless their 2-2 against Fulham wasn't just an accident, but the beginning of a downward trend. Although I don't think that they'll run into long term problems yet.

The team that really caught me by surprise was West Ham United. Beating Brighton after they got started into the season with 6 points and 8:2 goals, what were the chances that West Ham United beats them 3-1 away? I would have never placed a bet like that.
