Previously I said Liverpool would take second place in the standings but it turned out that Manchester City was held to a draw by Newcastle so the top of the standings was occupied by Liverpool.

And more interestingly the current top 5 clubs have shown a decent game including Chelsea which had made me doubt but everything was answered and for now the race for the top of the table will be even more interesting. Liverpool, Manchester city, Arsenal, Chelsea and Aston Villa who can still be said to be consistent enough to extend their best performances like last season.
A very satisfying weekend

Newcastle draw against Man City has been a boon for Liverpool, who, thanks to their narrow victory over Wolves, have now climbed to the top of the league. The competition for European places, especially the Champions League, is incredibly tight. Man City dominance this season seems to be truly under threat. Chelsea resurgence is a signal that they are also well-prepared to challenge for the title. With Liverpool and Arsenal performances looking even more promising, Pep Guardiola is sure to face significant challenges from them in the future. Aston Villa potential cannot be ignored either, they have a strong bargaining chip to spice up the competition, just like last season when they managed to finish in the top four. Personally, I hope that more teams can be involved in the trophy race this season, although in the end we will see Man City bring the trophy back to the Etihad.
