The Premier League table is beginning to take shape even after five games of the season.

As well as looking which managers may already fear for their job, LiveScore assess the impact of a couple of Premier League new boys.

Eyes on the bosses

We are only five games into the Premier League season and there is already pressure on a number of managers.

But which of the top-flight’s bosses could be the first to go in the 2021-22 campaign? 

We take a look at the Premier League’s sack race.

While some managers fear for their job, Sean Dyche has just put pen-to-paper on a new four-year deal at Burnley.

Dyche is the longest-serving manager in the league but has only seen his Clarets pick up one point this campaign.

So was it the right move for the 50-year-old to commit his long-term future to Turf Moor?

In Focus

Could Ivan Toney force his way into the England squad following another impressive display?
Could Ivan Toney force his way into the England squad following another impressive display?

Brentford’s impressive 2-0 victory at Wolves saw Ivan Toney score the first and set up Bryan Mbuemo for the second.

After netting 31 goals in the Championship, Toney, 25, already looks at home in the top flight — will it be an England call-up next?

That was not the only eye-catching display in the Midlands on Saturday though, as Leon Bailey helped inspire Aston Villa to a 3-0 victory over Everton.

Bailey was only on the pitch for 21 minutes as he came on for Matt Targett before limping off with eight minutes to go.

In that time he set up one goal and scored another to show Villa fans there is plenty of life post-Jack Grealish.
