Premier League standings: Chelsea needs two conditions to keep the top spot, Manchester United from 16th to 9th

On August 31, the third round of the Premier League was first played, with Chelsea 2-0 Fulham; Manchester United 3-2 Burnley; Sunderland 2-1 Brentford; Tottenham 0-1 Bournemouth; Wolves 2-3 Everton; Leeds 0-0 Newcastle. The situation on the standings also changed:

Chelsea temporarily came to the top position with 2 wins and 1 draw. Due to the 6-point direct dialogue between Arsenal and Liverpool, the Blues have the opportunity to continue to maintain this position, but require the Gunners to get a draw within 2 goals away from Anfield. At the same time, Nottingham Forest cannot defeat West Ham by more than 4 goals.

The previous three-time team, Tottenham Hotspur, was upset 0-1 at home this round, and they temporarily dropped to the third place in the standings.

Manchester United finally won the first victory of the season until the 97th minute of this round, but their ranking was immediately reflected. They jumped from 16th place after the last round to ninth. However, behind them are five teams, Manchester City, Crystal Palace, Villa, Brighton and West Ham, who have not played in this round, and only West Ham has no chance to surpass Manchester United.
