Week 2 done and dusted and only one Manchester team has emulated the opening weekend and managed a flawless two games.
Jose Mourinho and his Man United team are firing on all cylinders! Holding steady at the back with two clean sheets and banging in eight goals home and away, is nothing short of amazing.

Lukaku has started in a fine vein of form and has been thriving on his big challenge under Jose. This was followed by Liverpool claiming all three at Anfield over a Palace side, who is yet to get any points on the board.
Frank de Boer couldn’t pull the Benteke over Klopp’s men, as the Reds pulled off a simple 1-0 victory. Leicester City, Stoke, and Southampton were able to pull off home victories in their second week of Premier League fixtures.
The Cherries were unable to change their fortune around and suffered a second straight defeat. West Brom was able to outdo a Burnley side who were flying after beating the champions in the opening week. Tony Pulis and his men have also started off in perfect fashion after their result.
