Premier League Winners/Losers from Matchday 2

“They weren’t second-best in the first game against Villa and at Anfield the game was very even”.

There are a couple of issues with Arsenal.

The two sides last met in October 1999 in the League Cup, with West Ham winning 2-0 in a match that featured Eddie Howe in the Bournemouth starting line-up. When his team lost 1-0 at home to Swansea late last season, Arsene Wenger said it was an “accident”, but those slip-ups have become worryingly commonplace at the Emirates stadium.

Saturday’s Barclays Premier League clash against Swansea City provides a chance to put things right, according to Danny Graham.

Mushaike mentioned that, “to ensure that lifetime experiences don’t end with our Barclays Premier League competition, every time our customers swipe their Platinum cards, they earn “Worldmiles”, which can be redeemed for travel anywhere in the world, on any airline, throughout the year”.

Shutting out Arsenal is the key to success for opponents, as the Gunners have won 14 out of 16 home and away when scoring in the league in this calendar year, and that is one of the most important factors to weigh up in Monday’s match. A third win would represent their best ever start at this level.

How effectively Liverpool can tighten up in defence may well decide the course of their season.

A clean sheet at Arsenal would be a clear sign of improvement, but it is much more likely the hosts will score. Tottenham Hotspur, meanwhile, have yet to win this season but they have beaten Leicester on their last two visits.

Three teams remained ideal on the season, two made their title intents known, while others continued to flounder.

It is hard to see United failing at home to Newcastle, but it might be a different story for City at Everton.

Some are already billing this as a must win game for the Blues, who could allow the likes of City, United and Liverpool to extend their advantage above them if they fail to win. Key Stat: Newcastle have lost their last seven games on the road with an average of 2.6 goals conceded per game Injuries and suspensions: Manchester United – Phil Jones (CB), Fellaini (CM). The Frenchman scored in both matches between these two sides last season, while Benteke has previous of his own against Arsenal, scoring three times against them in 5 league appearances for Aston Villa.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: “On the one hand I expect a physical game, but on the other hand I saw the way Bournemouth are trying to pass the ball and their first idea is to pass the ball”.
