* below 2 goals are not listed here

Jermaine Defoe and Wayne Rooney scores 4 goals in 4 games, while Adebayor scores 3 times in 3 games. Very amazing that Rooney and Adebayor scored in every game they played up to date. Extra credit should be given to Adebayor, as he just joined Manchester City this summer and combined with the team well and fast, in return he scored 3 times.

For the top four team (Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea), i think Arsenal is the most unhealthy team as their striker is not listed in the top scorer table. Rooney (Man Utd, 4 goals), Torres (Liverpool, 3 goals), Drogba (Chelsea, 3 goals), Anelka (Chelsea, 2 goals) are among the top strikers and got very impress goal in just 3-4 games. While for Arsenal, both Diaby and Fabregas scores 2 goals, is not a real striker. In their last game in August with Man Utd, without Fabregas, Ashavin able to score a goal. Arsenal should change their way to play, should reduce the impact of Fabregas in team, would be benefit them.

With defending champion Manchester United, and Arsenal with 1 defeat in 4 games, Liverpool 2 defeats in 4 games, Chelsea is sit on top of table comfortably, with 4 wins 12 points.

Tottenham is next to Chelsea, 4 wins in 4 games, collect 12 points as Chelsea, with lower goal difference.

Besides, Manchester City is having a good start this year. They also won all the 3 games but their attacking may need to get more improve, because they got only 4 goals in 3 games.

The most disappointment team may be Everton, 2 defeat in 3 games. A lot of people thought they are one of the team which will challenging most to the top four team, but they already had 2 defeats on hand. Moyes may need to think a way to improve the team performance. And so to be Liverpool's Benitez (2 defeats in 4 games).

In summary, if Chelsea would stand themselves unbeat in September, others would find it very hard to get over them, as their playing style, players' form, couch's strategies are really really well. There are too much uncertainties in other team, for example like Man Utd is too depending on Rooney and midfielders' performance is not so consistent, Arsenal team is a bit young and unexperience, Liverpool's over depend on Gerrard and Torres, Manchester City most concern is how good is Tevez and Adebayor combine? How long can they maintain good form?

Let's see what happen in this month? I guess it would be a great season for everyone!!

ManUtd 2-1 Arsenal

Diaby's own goal in 63th minute

In overall, i think Manchester United is a bit good luck today, because Arsenal was playing far well than ManUtd. But Man Utd got a penalty by Rooney, and Diaby scores a own goal, which is like stand alongside with Man Utd to head in the goal. A bit unbelievable!
