With just six games played in the Premier League it's early days but there appears to be a difficult road ahead for the three newly promoted clubs, Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton who are all still seeking their first victory. These clubs are very much aware that the previous season the three promoted teams -- Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United -- made an immediate return to the Championship and they don't want a repeat of that. At least they have time to turn things around.
Happiest by far will be Ipswich who have managed four draws and only lost twice and are currently in 15th place. Their enthusiasm is evident but they definitely could do with a win to inject more confidence. The Tractor Boys have played in lively fashion and will be boosted by the form of young striker Liam Delap who scored both goals in last week's creditable 2-2 home draw against Aston Villa.
Manager Kieran McKenna was delighted with his team's latest performance. "To compete as we did against a team with the calibre of Aston Villa is very positive," he said. "It's another point, another game unbeaten and we move on.
" Leicester have managed three draws to keep them just above the relegation zone in 17th place. The Thai-owned club have also shown spirit but really need a victory to kick-start their season. After struggling to beat fourth-tier Walsall in the League Cup manager Steve Cooper suffered dissenting crowd chants and was under pressure for his team's visit to Arsenal.
However he wil.
