Wayne Rooney admits he's surprised Manchester Unitedare leading the table.
Rooney cannot quite believe the position United are in right now in relation to Chelsea given their respective starts to the season.
He told The Sun: "Chelsea started really strongly so it was important not to get too far behind because they are a hard team to catch up.
"So we stayed in behind and then four weeks ago we said that if we could be just three points behind going into this game we would be happy. Now we are three points ahead of them with a game in hand. We are in a great position. But the way the tables have turned in the last month we know how quickly things can happen so we don't want to be complacent.
"We have to keep going and getting those results."
Rooney is even more determined to do so having missed out on key games at the end of last season with his ankle injury.
He added: "When you are injured or suspended it is the worst time, especially coming to the end of a season.
"You have worked hard from the beginning of the season and you want to play in the later games to help the team be successful. I just picked up an injury at the wrong time."
