This is the first Premier League season in which three Premier League teams have 24 points or more after flying starts from Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester City.
Spurs are sitting pretty at the top, two points clear of Arsenal, while defending champions Man City look to be starting to kick into gear.
Just behind those three, Liverpool's new look midfield has helped them improve by nine points compared to this point last season.
Unai Emery's Aston Villa have continued their form from last season and are fifth, a point adrift of Liverpool, and have been tipped as potential surprise challengers to the usual suspects.
