Manchester United sit second of the table, level on points with Liverpool and ahead of champions Manchester City.
It sounds idyllic compared to the current predicament Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in - and it would be the reality if matches ended at half-time.
That's right, if all 100 of this season's Premier League matches were cut in half with the score taken at the break, United would be challenging for the title.
In the first half, the Red Devils have scored eight goals and conceded just twice and would have 22 points from ten games.
But the actual table tells a far different story.
Manchester United sit seventh with three wins, four draws and three defeats.
They have scored 13 goals, conceded ten and have a total of just 13 points instead, 15 adrift of leaders Liverpool.
Liverpool remain top but with 22 points, six fewer than what they actually have while Manchester City slip one place to third.
There are big boosts for the likes of Tottenham, Everton, Brighton and Newcastle, again demonstrating they are better in the first half.
On the other hand, Leicester slip four spots, Wolves six and Arsenal and Sheffield United seven when the second half is ignored, proving they are either struggling with slow starts or improve later on in games.
Finally, it is Crystal Palace that drop the furthest in the first-half Premier League table, falling from sixth to 16th.

There is no need to revisit or revise those chapters bro we can feel it anytime. U people won't believe it or be able to get it as u don't have something to do that
we have many things and many records to cherish. currently we are one of the most feared team in the world. that's something we are absolutely proud of. and as for trophies we are collecting one by one. and as for champions league sooner or later we'll get it. we're not in a hurry. even if we dont get any trophies we wont stop supporting city

This is not a useless post. Teams analizes your performances and plan accordingly to beat you. A weaker team could focus on defending against us for the first half and attacking us in the second due to these stats

These stats are a reflection of the weakness of our bench. Due to injuries and not purchasing 2 more good midfielders and 1 more forward. God help us if Mctominay and James gets injured

Meaning Man United is strong the first half of the game. This is could let a team know how to prepare towards and opponent. That's good analysis. I will be grateful if AF could do second half analysis too. Thanks so much
