Which teams impressed the most in the Premier League in August
The first month of the 2024/2025 season is over, and we are on the first international break of the season.
The season has been interesting, even though clubs have only played three Premier League games at the maximum each right now.
After the break, we expect some big games, and fans are still buying Premier League tickets from vetted resellers on Seatsnet, knowing that they can get the best value for money.
EPL teams made some late signings among the transfers we predicted could still happen before the window closed.
These new players have mostly remained at the clubs to train and prepare for their return to action after the break.
The Premier League has not sprung up much of an early-season surprise so far, with most of the clubs that have won games no strangers to challenging for the title.
However, some fans would consider Brentford, Liverpool, and Brighton as three clubs that have impressed so much at the start of the season.
The Reds were predicted to struggle after failing to strengthen their squad and missing out on Martin Zubimendi who was their main summer target.
However, Arne Slot has made a fine start to his spell as their manager so far, while Brentford has handled the departure of Ivan Toney very well as well.
Brighton’s 31-year-old manager, Fabian Hürzeler, has looked far more comfortable in the Premier League than most people would have imagined, but can his team keep up with the good start?
This article looks at the clubs that have made the best possible starts to the 2024/2025 Premier League season.
Liverpool
Liverpool ticket buyers were unsure what to expect at the start of Arne Slot’s reign after the Dutchman replaced Jurgen Klopp as their manager.
Slot did not top the list of potential managers to replace Klopp when the German quit the club at the end of last season.
However, as Liverpool has often done, they appointed him as their manager ignoring the hype around the likes of Ruben Amorim who had done well at Sporting Clube.
The Reds have continued a tradition of naming managers who should get the job done even if they are less popular than several other targets.
Slot got the Anfield job after doing well as the manager of Feyenoord in the Netherlands, and he has started his reign well.
In their final game in August, his team faced a big rival as they visited Old Trafford to face Manchester United, which they had struggled against in many games last season.
Liverpool won that game 3-0 and have since won three of three opening league games, conceding no goals. They and Manchester City are the only clubs still retaining a 100% record this season.
Brighton
When Brighton announced Fabian Hürzeler as their latest manager to replace the very popular and successful Roberto de Zerbi, the Foxes were making another unusual decision.
The 31-year-old is younger than some of his players, but Brighton was sure he was the right man for the job.
The German has since made a fantastic start to the season and his team remains unbeaten after three games, even though they have faced Arsenal and Manchester United during that run.
Brighton is one of the clubs who are not traditionally a European campaigner from England but could play on the continent next term like Fulham who also seem to be prepared for European qualification.
The Seagulls were in Europe last season and know how good that feels, so Hurzeler will be eager to lead them there again.
Judging by the performance in the first few games of the season, Brighton tickets will outsell for most of their matches this season.
Even their away games would be some of the best to watch, considering that they have travelled to Goodison Park and the Emirates and still not lost a game, winning against Everton at Goodison.
Brentford
Brentford has been one of the most stable clubs in the Premier League since they gained promotion to the English top flight, and Thomas Frank has done a fantastic job of keeping them competitive despite losing their best players.
Last season, they lost David Raya to Arsenal, who is doing well behind one of the best defence in the Premier League at the Emirates.
This summer, their main man in attack and the striker who arguably fired them to the Premier League, Ivan Toney, has left for the riches of Saudi Arabia.
Brentford tickets will continue to sell fast despite these departures because they have created a team that thrives regardless of who leaves or stays.
The Bees did poorly in the last campaign, having nearly qualified for a European spot in 2022/2023.
However, they have started this term brilliantly with two wins and a loss from their opening three league matches.
Brentford’s best result is their win against Crystal Palace, however, after the international break, their first match would be against Manchester City.
It will be a very tough fixture for them to win regardless of how they play, and their fans will all want to watch the game.
Manchester City
Manchester City had a relatively quiet transfer window by many standards even though we questioned if they need to make signings when the window opened.
The Citizens have won the last four Premier League titles, a record that seems to be downplayed by their 115 FFP charges.
Pep Guardiola’s side has been brilliant for several seasons and deserves more respect for the work they do on the pitch to win matches.
Some clubs would have been tired of competing for honours now and become complacent, but City is committed to ensuring everyone who buys Manchester City tickets gets the best value for their money.
They are now gunning for a fifth consecutive league title, and judging by their brilliant start to the season, they might get it.
Despite losing Julian Alvarez, a move they might regret, City has started the season with three wins from three and has scored 9 goals while conceding just 2.
It has been a superb beginning to this term, which might be Pep Guardiola’s last as their manager. Could they finish the entire campaign unbeaten?
This is probably their goal because they have already broken and set all kinds of records along the way as they dominated the Premier League in the last four terms.
Newcastle
Playing in the Champions League last season stretched Newcastle United, and they struggled to do well in domestic competitions.
The Magpies failed to qualify for European football at the end of the 2023/2024 season and will be eager to do that this term.
Newcastle has started this term well, having managed to keep hold of its best players despite fears of breaking PSR rules.
They have won two and drawn one of their opening three Premier League games, making them one of the clubs that have remained unbeaten in the competition so far.
Newcastle tickets are some of the best fans of English football can buy and their fine start to this season means now is a good time to get some copies from Seatnet.
Conclusion
Aston Villa and other clubs have also made fine starts to this season, and it will be interesting to see which of them maintains their form in September.
