Six games played, 15% of the season gone and guess who the top two are? Chelsea with a 100% record are looking pretty powerful under Ancellotti, and then Man U fresh from their winner scored in the 3rd hour of injury time yesterday are in second. The Reds have beaten both Arsenal, Spurs and local rivals Citeh. Liverpool who a few weeks ago were being talked about as also-rans are 3rd and Arsenal with a game in hand sit in 7th with a decent goal difference.

Spuds after winning their first 4 games have now lost two on the spin to Man U and Chelsea letting in 6 in the process proving the gap in quality is still alive and well. Oh well Tottenham fans it was good why it lasted. Man City are in 4th and I haven't forgotten still have a game in hand. They put up a bloody good battle yesterday at the OT, a ground famously without a stadium clock. Can Citeh keep this up? Only time will tell but with Villa in 5th, the top 7 is no surprise to anyone after just 6 games.

Behind these Darren Bent has scored 5 goals for Sunderland, one less than top scorer Rooney. The Black Cats had their most disappointing defeat of the season on Saturday losing to Burnley, who have come out of the blocks like Usian Bolt with a whippet and a cloth cap but Owen Coyle should soak up the headlines because the bad times are around the corner.

Stoke, Birmingham and Wolves have all got vital points on the board early and Pulis, McLeish and McCarthy will all be pleased but know they have to keep scrapping as they all are relegation fodder. With Everton finally getting over the Lescott ordeal they will look to climb the table hopeful in joining the top 7 or 8 to fight for a Europa Cup Place - so exciting that Goodison Park was almost half empty for the visit of AEK Athens last week!

Imagine you supported either Birmingham, Wolves, Burnley, Hull or Stoke for a moment and think about which other teams you will be fighting relegation with and which games are already 6-pointers. I'll start you off with Pompey. They look in the shit don't they from the pitch up to the boardroom. Paul Hart has to be the first Premiership managerial sacking. He is 4/6 after the weekend and I reckon we are watching the next Forest, Leeds, Charlton, Norwich, Southampton in the making I am sorry to say.

Who else? What about Wigan? Playing some fancy stuff under a good young manager in Martinez but can he cut it at this level? I'll compare them to Bolton and it'll be interesting to see if Wanderers fighting spirit, long ball chuff and resilence will hold them in better stead than Wigan's passing game. Blackburn under Allardyce have started poorly and I don't think Big Sam has built much of a team at Ewood. Roberts, Andrews, Dunn, Chimbonda don't inspire me. They need Benni McCarthy, Diouf and Emerton fit and interested to move away from danger.

I think Hull are fit for the drop under permatan man. I had them marked down early doors, which should give hope to the promoted sides but they have bought big. If nothing else Vennegoor of Hesselink should raise the Tigers some money sticking his name on shirts. Him and Altidore are interesting signings. West Ham and Fulham should pick up too many points to be involved in a relegation battle.

My bottom 3 will be Pompey, Hull and Wolves. My top 4? I am going to stick my neck out and say Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal.
