Premier League Table: Can Arsenal and Chelsea Overtake Manchester City? Villa and Tottenham Escape Bottom Spot

On September 6 Beijing time, several matches of the third round of the 2026-27 Premier League season were completed. The standings are as follows:

Manchester City lead with three consecutive wins and 9 points. Hull City are temporarily second with two wins and one draw. Third-placed Arsenal and fourth-placed Chelsea both have two wins from two matches, and the two teams will face each other directly. Since Manchester City's goal difference is +5, Arsenal (+4) would need to win by two goals or win 3-2 or a higher-scoring one-goal margin to move to the top; Chelsea would need to win by three goals to move to first place.

After two consecutive draws, Liverpool finally secured a 2-0 victory. They are currently among the upper half of the table along with Brentford (fifth), Newcastle (seventh), and Leeds (eighth), all with unbeaten records of one win and two draws.

Another match yet to be played is Everton vs Manchester United. The Toffees currently have one win and one draw for 4 points, while the Red Devils have one win and one loss for 3 points. The winner of this match will move into the top section of the table, and if Manchester United win, their lowest possible position would be fifth.

At the other end of the table, Villa and Tottenham, who started the season with two straight defeats and were at the bottom, each moved away from the bottom position with a draw. Coventry are currently last with three straight defeats, no goals scored, and five goals conceded. Fulham, also with three straight losses, are 19th.
