Five games into the new Premier League campaign, BBC Sport has taken stock of who's impressing and who's already toiling.
According to the BBC's assessment, the division is beginning to separate into clear categories - sides who look "a joy to watch" and others who remain "far from their best" despite the season being in its infancy.
The report doesn't single out full club-by-club stats or table positions in the teaser itself, but the framing suggests an early-season audit of form, style and performance levels across the league rather than just results on paper - looking at how teams are actually playing, not just points accumulated.
With five rounds now completed, patterns are starting to emerge that pundits and BBC Sport believe are worth examining before the international break settles in. Some contenders who were expected to challenge strongly appear to be misfiring, while others are outperforming pre-season expectations and drawing praise for their attacking football.
Full details of where each Premier League club ranks are set out in BBC Sport's complete breakdown, which promises a wider look at the division's opening stretch beyond just the headline results.
