Norwich City came into this season very much as an underdog, and their fans weren't blind to that fact. However, even acknowledging that the squad isn't quite top-flight quality, the Canaries' start to the season has been dismal. Six defeats from the opening seven fixtures and the most goals conceded in the league with the fewest scored to boot has the club looking like relegation favorites with not even a third of the season gone.
The East Anglian side did at least manage to get their first point of the season during the last game week, with a battling draw away at Burnley. However, for a team in their position, draws aren't good enough. They need to start winning football matches.
Manager Daniel Farke is well liked and will be given time to put the situation right, but if Norwich are to avoid an immediate return to the Championship they need to start showing that they are worthy of a spot in the Premier League soon.
Brighton & Hove Albion have enjoyed quite a different start to the season. After finishing 16th last season, it was assumed the club would spend most of the season fighting relegation, but that's been far from the case. The club are currently sitting in sixth, equal on points with Manchester United and Manchester City, after winning four of their opening seven and only losing once.
This astounding form has been masterminded by manager Graham Potter, who is rapidly building a name for himself as one of the most talented English managers working in the game. Brighton fans will be hoping he remains in their dugout for years to come.
Brighton's strong form has been thanks in large part to the side finally putting away their chances, which was their Achilles' heel last season. Forward Neal Maupay already has four goals and the likes of Danny Welback and Leandro Trossard are also adding plenty of attacking threat to the side.
