Tottenham Hotspur, despite being third in the table on the same points as Manchester City, have failed to catch fire so far in their first seven games.
But a two-week break seemed to work wonders as they thrashed Leicester City 6-2 in London.
Antonio Conte had question marks surrounding the form of Son Heung-Min. He had yet to register a goal so far this season, and was dropped to the bench with Richarlison starting ahead of him.
He came on with half an hour to go and scored a 13-minute hat-trick to finally kick-start the campaign for him and for Spurs.
If Son can continue firing after the break, along with Harry Kane, who opened the scoring for the hosts, Richarlison and Dejan Kulesevski, they will be a formidable opponent for any side - more on that later.
On the other side of the dugout, things could not look bleaker for Brendan Rodgers and Leicester. This was their fifth straight defeat in all competitions and in the last two fixtures, they have conceded an eye-watering 11 goals.
They seem to have lost all confidence in their play and if things are not remedied fast, then this could easily spiral out of control.
They certainly have quality to fix the huge issues in front of them, but that could spell the end for Rodgers.
Expect news from the West Midlands side soon.
Back to Spurs and they are just one point behind arch rivals Arsenal, who continued their fast start to the season with a 3-0 victory away to Brentford.
They remained top thanks to goals from William Saliba, Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira.
The big talking point from the game was the late introduction of Ethan Nwaneri.
At 15 years and 118 days he is the youngest player ever to get a Premier League appearance. He got a rousing reception from the visiting fans and could be a big part of an already young Arsenal side that is the youngest average age in the league.
Born in 2007, the starkness of his age is something hard to process. He could be hitting his prime in 2037 and his youth is best seen through the prism of James Milner.
Milner, still playing with Liverpool, had more than 100 top-flight appearances to his name before Nwaneri was born.
Pressure on the teenager should be low as there are many variables in football and life, but this could be another star in the making for the Gunners.
Player of the Week
Kevin De Bruyne has been in robotic form this season. Five assists in his last four games show just how important and pivotal he is for Manchester City’s title push this season.
He added two more assists on Saturday against Wolves, both from the right, both pinpoint crosses.
His movement allows City’s forwards to break quickly and put defences under pressure. Erling Haaland may be the bomb, but de Bruyne makes it all tick.
Goal of the Week
We head back to North London and Son’s stunners with his left and right foot. The first saw him run at two Leicester defenders and as they backed off, he unleashed a bullet with his right foot to break his duck in emphatic fashion.
The second was just as good - from around the same position on the pitch, he curled a beauty past Danny Ward and into the other top corner - showing what Spurs fans have been missing so far this season.
