Another round of Premier League action is almost done and dusted with three of London’s clubs dominating the top of the table after two fixtures.
The final game of the weekend will be Newcastle United’s home clash with Liverpool on Monday night, with the Reds aiming for two wins from two. Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are the only club with a 100 per cent record after two games.
The North London rivals have also yet to concede a goal with the Gunners beating Leeds United 5-0 on Saturday night. Spurs won 2-0 at Manchester City. Chelsea kicked off the round two action with a 5-1 victory over West Ham United at the London Stadium on Friday night.
There’s still 36 matches to play and plenty of twists and turns are promised along the way, including those in the transfer market. Data experts at Opta have already boldly predicted how the final league table will shape up as well as the point’s tallies for all 20 teams.
