And the slow start, the worst for the team in a decade, left Liverpool 5 points behind champions Manchester City after only three stages, while the difference between them and Arsenal leaders is 7 points.

Arsenal to keep calm

Unlike Liverpool, Arsenal made a great start that made their fans dream about the days of French coach Arsene Wenger, who led him to his last league title in 2004, after the men of Spanish coach Mikel Arteta were the only team to win the first three matches of this season. But Ukrainian newcomer Oleksandr Zinchenko warned his colleagues against being overly optimistic, based on the experience he gained with Manchester City.

United to continue awakening

After a quarrel with his Italian counterpart in Tottenham, Antonio Conte, which caused him to be suspended for a match, the German coach of Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel, appeared as a nervous person, contrary to his habit, to the extent that he found the transfer of his team to the Leeds stadium by bus a reason for the humiliating loss he received in the last stage (0-3).

The team with one victory in the first three games, and it was hardly the injured Everton 1 – zero, to show the magnitude of the pressure experienced by the German at the beginning of the season.
