'Far from their best' to 'a joy to watch' - ranking Premier League teams' start to season

Following the latest round of Premier League fixtures, clubs now enter a three-week international break with play set to resume on 10 October. Manchester City lead the pack with five wins from five matches, powered by top scorer Erling Haaland under manager Pep Guardiola, while Brentford and Hull City have also made strong starts with eight points each.

At the other end, Manchester United have struggled under Erik ten Hag, managing just one victory so far, and Crystal Palace sit lower in the table with three defeats from four outings.
