Unexpected start to Premier league

Where would the top 4 teams of EPL stand after 3 games? After the tussle between ManU & Chelsea in the community shield( ManU winning in the shootout) and Chelsea having injury problems, one expected the newly crowned champions to strut their stuff and show why they have been the most successful english club since the league began, but as always matches aren't decided by rankings (otherwise it would be too boring:) ).

So after 3 games ManU is hovering around the relegation spots and that's unexpected, but to beat that the only team with a 100% win record(if u were out of sync for the past couple of weeks, a big surprise:) ) are ManU's city rivals Man City, some real magic being worked on by Sven:P, and with Rooney out ManU have a tough job ahead trying to retain the title.

A look at the table shows Chelsea the contender at 7 points to ManU's 2 and the other big two Liverpool & Arsenal 4 apiece with one game in hand. Really disappointed at arsenal's show against Blackburn, silver lining would be Eduardo jelling in well with the flow. My guess it would be battle between Chelsea & Liverpool battle this year, unless ManU do something in the next couple of weeks, and Arsenal even though are my team, have lost some 'X' factor with Henry moving out, sorry guys, even though i hope you would it seems unlikely, waiting eager for further surprises, signing off for now.
