10. (NEW) Southampton - A 0-0 draw against Liverpool is an impressive result, but the Reds have been scoring for fun so to keep a clean sheet is a really impressive result.

9. (NEW) Watford - Watford's 2-1 win over the defending champions Leicester City has them suffering from vertigo in eighth position. They've only lost once in six matches.

8. (10) Sunderland - The Black Cats were too strong for Hull City, winning 3-0 for their second win in a row, and second win of the season. Watch out Champions League.

7. (NEW) West Brom - Albion thrashed Burnley 4-0 to move to ninth on the ladder, but I'm just staggered that a Tony Pulis coached side scored four goals in one match.

6. (5) Tottenham - Their 3-2 win over West Ham was easily the match of the round, but they almost lost and that's probably more concerning for Spurs, who were on a four match winless run prior to that.

5. (7) Manchester City - Their form has been patchy at best for some time now even though they've not lost for five matches. Yaya Toure (remember him?) bagged a double to seal a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.

4. (3) Manchester United - I thought the Red Devils had hit a bit of form when they thrashed Swansea two weeks ago, but Jose Mourinho reckoned their 1-1 draw felt like a loss. Still a decent gap between them and the top four, so a lot of work for them to do.

3. (4) Arsenal: The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw with Manchester United. That means just two points from clashes with Tottenham and Manchester United, but they're still fourth and have only lost once all season.

2. (2) Liverpool - The Reds could only draw 0-0 with Southampton but they haven't lost for some time, and are fully deserving of their second placing on the table.

1. (1) Chelsea - Comfortably the top side in the English Premier League on current form. They haven't conceded in six matches and have won all of those games. Top of the table, and top of the Power Rankings.
