The Premier League returns this weekend, with each club having played seven matches.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are occupying the top three spots and all three finished in the top three last season, while the three newly promoted teams are in the bottom six.
However, while there are not any surprises at the top or bottom of the table, there have been a number of players whose form this campaign has been a pleasant surprise.
BBC Sport has looked at eight players that have performed better than fans may have expected this season.
