Tottenham and QPR top the table after blistering starts to their season. They are followed by Chelsea and Man Utd (also level on points). Last season's champions Arsenal are in sixth place. Elsewhere, Manchester City have had a horror start to the season and find themselves down in the relegation zone, along with Crystal Palace and Norwich City. The other promoted teams Wolves and Derby find themselves in 7th and 15th place respectively.

First day of the season, and we already have our first upset, as oil-rich Manchester City are defeated by a sensational comeback from newly promoted Wolves. Elsewhere, Olivier Giroud scores a brace against former club Tottenham but is unable to prevent new team Derby from falling to a spirited defeat at White Hart Lane. Paco Alcacer starts life at Chelsea with a brace in a demolition of Southampton, Leicester and Arsenal are involved in a high-scoring thriller and newly promoted QPR see off Norwich City rather comfortably.

Ah, Arsenal and Barcelona. Yet again. Napoli should provide stiff competition too. Tough group this. Arsenal can feel hard done by since Barcelona shat the bed in La Liga last year.
Chelsea

Another tough group! English teams don't seem to be getting the rub of the green so far. Bayern and Monaco are stiff competition, while Olympiakos are no pushovers themselves.
Manchester United

A far, far easier draw than Arsenal and Chelsea. Porto will be a difficult game, but I'd expect Manchester United to breeze through this group without any difficulty.
Manchester City

You know what they say: One man's pain is another man's gain. Well, the converse seems to be true as well, since the blue half of Manchester is drawn in a ridiculously hard group containing the likes of PSG, Shakhtar and Wolfsburg. Well well well.
