It's been a blistering start to the 2026/27 Premier League campaign with Enzo Maresca's Manchester City leading the way heading into the first international break of the season. The Italian is undefeated since returning to the Etihad Stadium and City look set to rival Arsenal in the title race once again.
Mikel Arteta's side lost their 100 per cent win record last time out, when they were well beaten by Brighton & Hove Albion, but the Gunners are still second in the table. Arsenal made a bright start to the season but find themselves three points behind City.
The Seagulls are in third following that impressive win over the Gunners, while Brentford occupy the final spot in the top-four. The latter two clubs were in contention for European football last season and have picked up where they left off.
We asked Google Gemini to construct the Premier League Team of the Season so far, and players from the aforementioned four teams are featured in the starting XI. Using underlying statistics, metrics, and media coverage from the opening five gameweeks of the 2026/27 season, it named the 11 best players so far, and you might be surprised by some of those involved.

The Czech shot stopper only signed for the Magpies in the summer transfer window in a £25.7m deal from Braga but has already had a major say in their early season results.
