Whenever the season kicks off, all teams start from the same point, on matchday 1 all teams are looking get off the right start. As time progresses some teams get the better of others and take an early lead leaving others to play catch up.
The following clubs have gotten off to a good start and are yet to concede a loss in their respective domestic league campaigns so far. As time goes by, the list will consist of lesser clubs but for now here is a roundup of the high-flying clubs of Europe’s top 5 domestic leagues.
#1 Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp’s boys seem to be in fine form. Liverpool kicked off the season against Crystal Palace and got off to a winning start thanks to goals from James Milner and Sadio Mane where they saw off their opponents 2-0.
Before last weekend's mega-clash with Chelsea. Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur were the most formidable opponents that they had faced so far and none of them was able to deny Liverpool the 3 points that were seeking to bag. Only Manchester City match Liverpool's record of having conceded the least number of goals.
Saturday was a day Liverpool fans were looking forward to as they hoped to overcome third-placed Chelsea so as to open a wider margin between the two teams. Eden Hazard's 25th- minute strike seemed to have sealed the deal until Daniel Sturridge's spectacular 89th- minute goal brought Liverpool back into the game.
The game ended at a 1-1 draw. The results saw Liverpool drop points for the first this season as well as slip into second place behind Manchester City.
#2 Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund is on quite a roll so far. Lucien Favre’s boys opened the season against RB Leipzig. Dortmund, who were at home, edged out their opponents 4-1. Signal Iduna Park witnessed a perfect Bundesliga start for the home side as the club captain Marco Reus scored his 100th Bundesliga goal in injury time.
A 0-0 draw away to Hannover 96 and a 1-1 draw to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim saw Dortmund lose four crucial points. Dortmund have the league’s most lethal attack force, scoring 19 goals (league best) in six games so far.
Saturday's 4-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen saw them go top of the table after league leaders Bayern Munich fell 2-0 to Hertha Berlin.
#3 Juventus
Let’s focus on a team that’s on nearly everybody’s lips now that Cristiano Ronaldo is on their roster; Juventus. The Serie A giants are unbeaten in 7 domestic league fixtures and they are yet to drop any points. So, we can say that this far, Juventus are in fine form.
The defending champions kicked off the league away to Chievo Verona in a very interesting match. First, it was Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut Serie A game and the football world was watching to see how he’d fair in Italy having left the Spanish giants Real Madrid over the summer.
Second, Chievo Verona really battled and the game almost ended as a 2-2 draw. Having missed so many scoring chances, Juventus got the winning edge when Federico Bernardeschi scored in extra time to ensure all the three points were going back home. Since then, Juventus have defeated all their opponents including fierce rivals Lazio. They are also the team to beat defensively.
Saturday's fixture against Napoli seemed a difficult one on paper as the top two clubs were set to lock horns at Juventus Stadium. However, that wasn't the case as the home team won 3-1 to ensure their perfect start to the season was maintained. The win saw Juventus open a 6-point lead over second-placed Napoli.
#4 Paris Saint-Germain
In France, PSG have won 8 straight domestic league games. The Ligue 1 giants started their domestic campaign at home to SM Caen and they saw them off 3-0 thanks to strikes from Neymar Jr, Adrien Rabiot and Timothy Weah.
The match was Gianluigi Buffon’s debut Ligue 1 fixture and the legendary goalkeeper did well to get started with a clean sheet. The team has gone on to play 7 more fixtures without dropping a point. Saturday's victory over OGC Nice ensured that their impressive form continues.
#5 Manchester City
The blue side of Manchester is another formidable team that is yet to taste defeat. The defending champions got their campaign started against Arsenal in a mouthwatering matchday 1 fixture at Emirates stadium. Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva were on target to ensure the defending champions got off to a winning start.
Arsenal coach, Unai Emery got an unlucky start as his first Premier League match resulted in a loss as Raheem Sterling scored his 50th Premier League goal. The following fixture proved to be a field day endeavor as Pep Guardiola’s boys saw off Huddersfield Town by putting six goals past them.
Manchester City were also able to register wins against Fulham, Newcastle and Cardiff City while salvaging a draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Cityzens are the team with the most dangerous attacking force as no Premier League team has scored more goals than them.
Saturday's home win over Brighton saw the club become joint league leaders with Liverpool after the Reds were held to a 1-1 draw by Chelsea.
#6 Chelsea
The best player in the Premier League
Maurizio Sarri already feels like the man for the job given Chelsea’s high-flying start. His first Premier League game in charge of Chelsea was on matchday 1 against Huddersfield Town. World Cup winner N'Golo Kante was first to be on the scoresheet as new signing Jorginho added the second from the spot. Pedro sealed the win with his 80th-minute strike.
The blues also managed to see off fierce rivals Arsenal. The two London based clubs met on matchday 2 at the Stamford Bridge. The game proved to be quite a thrilling encounter as both teams had each conceded 2 goals by end of first half. Marcos Alonso’s 81st-minute strike ensured the home team got all the three vital points.
Chelsea has seen off all their opponents except West Ham and Liverpool. The Hammers managed to eke out a goalless draw. The Blues were probably hoping to beat Liverpool over the weekend and they seemed set to do that but Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge had something else in mind. A Liverpool goal in the 89th-minute ensured the game ended 1-1.
