Week five of the English Premier League comes to a close with the alphabet separating the two Manchester clubs, and Crystal Palace setting a Premier League record that nobody wants.

Watford 0 v 6 Man City

Bookies favourite Man City sit on top of the Premier League, after humiliating Watford at Vicarage Road, albeit because the letter ‘C’ comes before the letter ‘U’ in the alphabet.

The victory wasn’t unexpected. The manner was. Watford has looked strong early doors winning two, and drawing two in their first four games. And although City came into this tie banging goals in for fun, Watford had kept three clean sheets in the past four games. So it was never supposed to be a mauling, but the Premier League is the best in the world because of its ability to produce the unexpected.
