Not surprisingly, PSG have broken away from the rest of the pack, leaving the rest of Ligue 1 in an early battle to try to catch up. It's been a perfect start to the season for Unai Emery's men who are hoping to not just retain their league title but also finally make major inroads in the Champions League.
Meanwhile, last season's runners-up Monaco have struggled surprisingly, and with just one win find themselves closer to the relegation zone than a Champions League spot. It's a shocking decline for a team who won the Ligue 1 title only a couple of seasons ago and were viewed as a potential challenger to PSG's one-team domination of the Ligue 1 landscape.
PSG not surprisingly are the highest-scoring side so far, but Marseille, with 10 goals thus far, are in second spot. Another team who has been regularly finding the back of the net is newly promoted Nimes, albeit the Ligue 2 runners-up also have been regularly punished for their free-flowing approach, conceding as many goals (9) as they have scored (9) from their first four games.
