Is it too early to look at Premier League table?

Just five games in, it might seem a bit early to pay much attention to the Premier League table - but it's probably more settled than you think. BBC Sport takes a look at the statistics behind the early season standings.

While it would be no surprise if Manchester City and Arsenal finish as the top two -outside of any points deductions or sanctions directed City's way - will Brentford really qualify for Europe, Hull stay up and Tottenham be involved in yet another relegation battle? Recent history certainly suggests it's likely.

It has to be mentioned there is a huge asterisk hanging over the Premier League table at the moment after Man City were found guilty of the majority of the Premier League charges levelled at them.

The Premier League leaders have appealed but, if the guilty verdict remains, potential sanctions could have a significant impact on the table. Until then, we can only deal with the table as it is now.
