5 clubs surprisingly in the top 4 of their leagues right now

Watford FC v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
The Hornets are unbeaten in the PL so far

1. Watford FC

Watford FC v Crystal Palace - Premier League
With 12 points in four games Watford are third in the Premier League.

The Vicarage Road based club secured promotion in 2014 and has managed to stay in Premier League since. Watford, under the new coach Javi Gracia, is in top form right now. With four back to back wins, including a 2-1 win at home over Tottenham, they are on level with league leaders Liverpool and Chelsea in terms of points, only behind on goal difference.

With such a perfect start to the season, they must have surprised not only fans and pundits, bu themselves too. Jose Holebas leads the league's assists charts, with four in four games. Pereyra has already scored 3 goals for them. But it has been team performance that has taken them this far.

While it is surprising to see the Hornets occupying the third spot in the league right now, it was not that surprising to see Gracia being awarded the August Manager of the Month award for his intelligent management of the team. He deserves as much credit as the players for Watford's 100 % win record.
