Hammers still tight to the top clubs

|

West Ham slipped to sixth place after the defeat by Manchester City with Brighton pushing up into third place and the Gooners now in fifth on goal difference.

We sit a goal behind the north Londoners and three behind Spurs who moved into fourth place following their 2-1 win over Sheffield United.

Man City – now of course top of the league with 15 points from their opening five games – lead Liverpool who beat Wolves at Molineux in the lunchtime game and now have 13 points from their opening games.

Brighton again showed what a good team they are when beating Manchester United 3-1 at Old Trafford – a result which saw the Reds slip to 12th place.

Crystal Palace – beaten 3-1 at Villa Park are now two points behind the Hammers in seventh place whilst the midlanders moved into eighth place with seven points.

At the bottom Everton Burnley and Luton – beaten 1-0 at Fulam – have managed just one poit between the three of them.
