And it’s only a point back of Chelsea, who have taken just one point from two fixtures after their brilliant 10-man draw against Arsenal had everyone discussing their status as possible Premier League title contenders.
The Blues lost 3-1 at Leeds and drew at home to Bournemouth, and can’t simply count on the home pitch bringing relief. Enzo Maresca’s men are 4-2-2 away from home 3-2-2 at the Bridge.
