The Premier League returns this weekend after the international break.
Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United boast 100% records so far in the Premier League, but some teams have not been as impressive.
With the international break now over, attention will turn back to the Premier League, where a host of managers are already desperate for a win.
Here are three managers who need to pick up three points this weekend.
Alan Pardew
Having picked up just a point in their opening three games, the pressure is already on Alan Pardew at Selhurst Park.
Crystal Palace did some great business in the transfer window, but the team are yet to gel, with their only point coming courtesy of a late equaliser from Scott Dann against Bournemouth.
This weekend, Palace head to an in-form and unbeaten Middlesbrough side. Pardew will be hoping that his new strike force of Christian Benteke and Loic Remy can form a partnership quickly, otherwise the pressure will be cranked up even higher on the Palace boss.
Walter Mazzarri
Despite some decent enough performances, Watford also only have one point to show for their hard work, coming in an opening day draw with Southampton.
The arrival of Walter Mazzarri was one of the most surprising managerial changes this summer, with the departure of former boss Quique Sanchez Flores proving to be quite the shock.
Watford head to the Olympic Stadium this weekend to take on West Ham, who have been anything other than scintillating themselves this season, with their only win coming from the opening game at their new stadium.
Many have the Hornets down as a potential candidate for relegation, and Mazzarri needs to get his team firing to avoid any battle against the drop.
David Moyes
In what has been a turbulent return to the Premier League for David Moyes, the Scot prepares to face his former club Everton on Monday night.
Sunderland have picked up just a point so far, but suffered a damaging Wear-Tees derby defeat at the hands of Middlesbrough. The Black Cats have been handed a fitness boost with the return of Jan Kirchhoff, and could also hand debuts to Didier Ndong and Jason Denayer.
A win at the Stadium of Light could really kick-start Moyes’ tenure on Wearside, but it will have to be at the expense of his former employers, who sit fourth in the league.
