  1. How they standpublished at 14:40 British Summer Time 23 September 2017

    This is how it stands in the Premier League after 10-man Tottenham held on to win 3-2 at West Ham in the early match.

    Manchester United have exactly the same record as Manchester City, who are classed as top of the league by alphabetical order only. A win for Southampton could take them into the top four depending on results elsewhere.
