Defending Champions Manchester City were forced to share points on Match Day 5 in the Premier League as Southampton denied them a chance to score at the Etihad. A watertight defence from Southampton along with multiple mistakes from hosts City meant that manager Pep Guardiola was left fuming with his side as they slipped out of the top 2 on the points table. Their 1st draw of the season apart from a loss as they have 10 points from 5 games.

Liverpool managed to get in a regular night of football with an easy 3-0 win over Crystal Palace at the Anfield. Sadio Mane scored his 100th goal for Liverpool as Mohd Salah and Naby Keita too got on the scoresheet to ring in a 3-0 win for Jurgen Klopp's men. 13 points from 5 outings meant that Liverpool climbed to the top of the points table. 

Martin Odegaard's 30th min freekick for Arsenal was perhaps the only difference between the two sides as they registered a narrow 1-0 win over Burnley on the road at Turf Moor. The goal helped Arsenal win their 2nd game in a row to reach 6 points after a sensationally poor start to the season where they lost 3 games on the trot.
