Who would’ve thought that would be the most popular score in the Premier League thus far? Definitely not me – but it is clear that Chelsea are on the hunt for an emphatic League title defence. After only games they are already points ahead of the rest as the only team to have won both their games. Manchester City will have captured the interest of their closest rivals as they quite simply dominated a lacklustre Liverpool. Arsenal showed their pedigree against Blackpool whilst a classy Gareth Bale brace gave Spurs a valuable away win against Stoke.
Liverpool were dominated by Manchester City during the week and it’s looking like it might be another long season for the Reds. West Brom followed an opening day thrashing with an impressive win in their first home game. Travelling to Anfield is never easy and Liverpool will be looking to get some momentum going after two tough opening fixturesThe Toffees first game was marred by a goalkeeping howler as Tim Howard handed Blackburn gift of a winner at Ewood Park. Wolves claimed a valuable 3 points against Stoke and will be hoping to steer clear of the relegation zone throughout the season. Everton are sure to come back with a vengeance and will fancy themselves against anyone at Goodison Park. The points should stay in Merseyside.
Wigan were terrible in their opening fixture and they were embarrassed by Premier League newcomers Blackpool. Roberto Martinez will be feeling the pressure already. On the other hand, Chelsea asserted their dominance with a win on the opening day against WBA. Didier Drogba started the season with a hat-trick and will be looking for more this week. Wigan shocked Chelsea in the corresponding fixture last year but the thrashing they received on the final day of last season will be fresh in the memory. The Blues will expect nothing less
