Recap
With all of the top title contenders in action on Saturday and entertaining fans in some spectacular fixtures, the focus moved to a bottom-three side on Sunday, where Crystal Palace continued their horrendous start to the season.
The Eagles conceded after just three minutes, as Chris Wood found the back of the net, and while Palace mustered a handful of good chances, they couldn't work the ball past Tom Heaton or Nick Pope.
The latter replaced an injured Heaton in the first half and promptly played the match of his life, making two spectacular saves that could well feature on highlight reels by the end of the season. As shared by Football Whispers, it was just one of those days for the visitors:
Four matches into the season, Palace have yet to win a point―and even worse, they've still to find the back of the net.
Swansea's situation is slightly better right now, but the 1-0 loss against Newcastle―courtesy of a goal from Jamaal Lascelles―left the side just four points above the three winless teams.
Bournemouth already lost their Week 4 match against Arsenal, and West Ham will face a surging Huddersfield Town team in sixth place on Monday.
The Magpies have taken six points from their first four matches, building an early buffer that could serve the team well moving forward. Newcastle's main priority has to be avoiding the drop this season, and right now, the side is on schedule.
