Manchester United top, Newcastle above Liverpool – how the Premier League table looks since football’s return

The Premier League has been back for a few weeks now and some teams have coped better with the restart than others.

We had three months without a ball being kicked due to the coronavirus pandemic as the UK went into lockdown.

There was always going to be some rustiness with teams being unable to train for most of that time while preparations were gradually stepped up ahead of the June 17 restart.

Teams like Norwich and Bournemouth have been horribly out of form in their four games back while Manchester United are at the opposite end and look like a different side.

talkSPORT.com has taken a look at what the table looks like since the top flight returned last month.

*Most teams have played four games but some have played five, due to having a match in hand before the restart, while Everton and Tottenham are on three ahead of their Monday night clash.
