Liverpool kept hold of top spot along with their 100 per cent record as they beat Burnley on Saturday evening.
The Clarets gifted the Reds two goals as Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross deflected off Chris Wood before a Ben Mee mistake allowed Sadio Mane to slot home in the first half. Roberto Firmino settled the game 10 minutes from time.
Manchester City had put four past Brighton to temporarily move up, but Jurgen Klopp's side maintained their perfect record after four games.
Manchester United failed to bounce back from a shock 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend, drawing 1-1 with 10-man Southampton in Saturday's early kick-off.
Fresh from their win at Old Trafford, Palace scored their first goal at Selhurst Park for the season to beat 10-man Aston Villa while Sebastien Haller scored again for West Ham as Norwich were beaten.
The tie of the weekend, however, was Sunday's north London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal, with the match ending in a thrilling 2-2 draw - a result which doesn't necessarily help either side.
