Parts of the current Premier League table look unusual and, if I am honest, pleasingly so.
Nottingham Forest are in a Champions League position having spent most of the Premier League era on the outside looking in.
By a strange quirk, the four teams with the smallest average crowds – Bournemouth, Brentford, Crystal Palace and Fulham – are all above the three teams with the largest; Manchester United, West Ham and Tottenham.
It may not last. Come the end of the season, I’d expect heavyweights Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea to make up the top four and the trophies to be shared out between the normal suspects.
