Here is a look at the Premier League table after GW4 (the standings after Spurs v Arsenal) in the 24/25 season (after Week 4). This match week had the North London derby, which was won 1-0 by Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Liverpool suffered their first defeat of the season in this round, also conceding their first goal in the process. Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 win over the Reds took them to 7th in the table.
Man City remained the only unbeaten team with a 100% record after matchday 4.
Here is a look at the EPL Team of the Week for Match Day 4 from Troy Deeney at the BBC and Alan Shearer from the Premier League. The week saw only two home teams win- Man City (2-1 over Brentford) and Aston Villa (3-2 over Everton). Tottenham lost the North London derby to Arsenal, LFC were shocked by Forest in front of a record home crowd, while Jadon Sancho assisted on debut as Chelsea edged Bournemouth away.

Arsenal will wear their black away shirt against Spurs in the North London derby later tonight (September 15, 2024)- the first time in the modern Premier League era that the Gunners have NOT worn their home kit for the marquee NLD fixture.
The Premier League thinks there’s too much white in the Arsenal home kit and that has been deemed to clash with Spurs’ home colours. AFC even offered to wear red socks and red shorts with the home jersey but that option was turned down by the league.
Arsenal’s away kit has already been worn by the Gunners in their league opener against Aston Villa- a fixture where they beat AVFC 2-0.
