Barclays Premier League Table: 2016 EPL Outlook After Saturday's Opening Results

The 2016-17 English Premier League season officially kicked off Saturday, and it took only one match before the table was thrown into disarray.

Along with that unexpected result, here is a rundown of Saturday's scores and a look at the EPL standings after the first day of competition.
