The alternative Premier League table where Arsenal, Spurs and Man United are battling relegation

The Premier League is four games old and the league table is starting to take shape.

Liverpool sit top of the division with a 100% start to the season.

Champions Manchester City are two points behind the Reds, whilst Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham have already fallen behind the early pacesetters.

The Gunners and Spurs both dropped points last weekend in a fiery 2-2 north London derby draw, where eight yellow cards were brandished by Martin Atkinson.

That, as you can imagine, has left Arsenal very close to the bottom of the Fair Play table which is also beginning to formulate with each passing matchday.

The scoring for the Premier League Fair Play table is based around bookings, second yellows and straight reds, with the points for each being one for a yellow, three for a second yellow card and five for a straight red.

If the number of points are the same, the two teams are separated by the number fouls they have committed.

Wolves, Everton and Brighton are three of five of the 20 Premier League clubs have seen a man sent off this season, which puts them amongst the sides with the worst disciplinary records in the league.
