Man United's slim 1-0 win away at Wolves fired them to third with seven points, on level with rivals Chelsea and Liverpool - who battled to a 1-1 draw on Saturday, August 27.
Everton are the other side who have bagged seven points under Rafa Benitez, but their relatively inferior goal difference has them sitting sixth behind Liverpool and Chelsea.
However, their tally affords them a point above Man City who are seventh despite their huge 5-0 win over Arsenal.
The result was, without doubt, the biggest of the weekend as City subjected the Gunners to more misery.
The Emirates dwellers have neither picked a point nor scored a goal, a woeful run of form that now has them rocked bottom of the table.
Norwich City and Wolves - both who have also not earned any point thus far are also in the relegation zone.
Former Arsenal youth passes away due to illness
Briefly News previously reported that Arsenal are in mourning the death of their former youth star Samuel Oji, who started his career as a teenager with the Gunners in 2000 but failed to make the grade.
He subsequently moved to Birmingham in 2004 and went on to turn out for a number of English clubs including Doncaster Rovers, Leyton Orient, Bristol Rovers and Hereford United.
Until his death, the former defender was an assistant manager at non-league outfit Highgate United that competes in the Midland League Premier Division.
