Top performers

Manchester City's Enzo Maresca has made a flawless start, with results better than Arsenal and everyone else. New signings Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernandez and Iliman Ndiaye have contributed, and Maresca masterminded a derby win at Old Trafford.

Brighton's Fabian Hurzeler has managed European football addition well, with a 3-0 win over defending champions and a 5-0 victory over Coventry making Brighton the top scorers in the league. Brentford's Keith Andrews has an unbeaten start, including wins over Tottenham and Chelsea.

Mid-table and strugglers

At the bottom, Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham has two points and a disastrous start. Fulham's Alvaro Arbeloa is rated 3/10, with the team a place off rock bottom. Crystal Palace's Pierre Sage also gets 3/10 after three defeats in five games.

Mixed starts

Michael Carrick at Manchester United has five points from five games, rated 4/10. Chelsea's Xabi Alonso gets 6/10 after a mixed start. Aston Villa's Unai Emery is rated 6/10, with a slow start expected due to injuries and new signings.

Frank Lampard at Coventry gets 6/10 after a tough start, including a first win at Forest. Ipswich's Gary O'Neil earns 7/10 with two wins from five games. Sunderland's Regis Le Bris gets 7/10 despite hovering above the relegation zone.
