Premier League standings: City and Arsenal share top spot after eight games

Manchester City sit atop the Premier League table with 19 points from eight games, having recorded six wins, one draw and one loss. Arsenal match them on points, also sitting on 19 after eight fixtures with an identical record of six wins, one draw and one defeat. The two clubs share the top spot on goal difference, which is not provided, but their points totals reflect a tightly contested title race early in the season.

Liverpool remain in third place with 17 points, their record of five wins, two draws and a single loss keeping them within striking distance of the leaders. The Merseyside side will look to close the gap in the coming weeks as the race intensifies.

Further down the table, Hull City and Chelsea each have six points from two matches, both having won both of their opening games. Chelsea, however, sit in fourth place after eight games with 16 points, derived from five wins, one draw and two losses, while Hull City occupy the third slot after the two‑match snapshot.

Brentford sit at the bottom of the early‑season snapshot with four points after two games, having secured a win and a draw. Newcastle United, by contrast, hold 14 points after eight matches, placing them fifth in the full‑season table with four wins, two draws and two defeats.
