After returning to the top of the table last night, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson expects more surprises this season.
He said: "The reason we're top of the league is because our home record's been great, the defensive part has been terrific and these are important issues.
"I think it's a hard league, teams are taking points off each other. A lot of teams, even those well below the top four, are spending a lot of money so therefore there's a drive for teams to improve themselves and stay in that premier division."
