BPL So Far....

After a round of seven games (well, it's eight games for the rest of the other teams), Manchester United is now on a more familiar place; in the top five of the Barclays Premier League table. Manchester United started this season's BPL campaign slightly off-mark, with a loss to Liverpool, but recovered to win the last three BPL matches. With seven games played, Manchester United won four games, drew two and lost on, collecting 14 points. Chelsea and Liverpool lead the pack with 20 points, propped up by Hull City (17 points) and Arsenal (16 points). 


Hull City surprised most people as it sits on the third place, winning 5 games including a famous away victory over Arsenal. It remains to be seen if Hull City could keep the momentum towards the end of the season.

Two other teams surprised many people too, but for the wrong reason. Newcastle United and Totenham Hotspurs now sit at the bottom of the table. Newcastle United has six points from one win and three draws; while Tottenham Hotspurs has yet to win any games and the only points that it has now comes from two draws. 

The next match for Manchester United will be a Champions League game against Celtic at Old Trafford. The match will start at 2:45am Brunei time on Wednesday 22 October. The next BPL match for Manchester United will be an away match against Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday, 25 October.
