Chelsea and Manchester City supply two players each: Premier League team of the week

West Ham also have a pair of players in the XI after their 4-1 thrashing of Leicester

• 

  Goalkeeper: Hugo Lloris (Tottenham) – Became the first player to make 300 Premier League appearances for Spurs and marked it with a great save from Adama Traore in victory.

• 

  Right-back: Reece James (Chelsea) – The scourge of Arsenal, forever in space, overlapping superbly and scoring the second goal as Chelsea made it back-to-back wins.

• 

  Centre-back: Ruben Dias (Manchester City) – Comfortable in defence, he also took the chance to show his passing range with a great ball for Riyad Mahrez’s goal.

• 

  Centre-back: Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa) – The new captain got the assist for Danny Ings’ spectacular opener against Newcastle and helped Villa keep their first clean sheet of the campaign.

• 

  Left-back: Kostas Tsimikas (Liverpool) – Andy Robertson’s understudy has belatedly got a chance and taken it. Created Diogo Jota’s goal against Burnley with a fine cross.

• 

  Right midfield: Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City) – Didn’t score in the 5-0 thrashing of Norwich but was still the outstanding player as he set up three goals with crosses.

• 

  Centre midfield: Yves Bissouma (Brighton) – The outstanding player on the pitch as Brighton beat Watford to begin a top-flight campaign with two straight wins for the first time.

• 

  Centre midfield: Pablo Fornals (West Ham) – Set West Ham en route to the win that took them top of the table and gave them their best start to a season for 24 years with a fine finish.

• 

  Left midfield: Demarai Gray (Everton) – Added to the impression that he will be a bargain at £1.7 million. Produced an irrepressible display at Elland Road and scored his first Everton goal.

• 

  Centre forward: Michail Antonio (West Ham) – Unplayable. Leicester’s injury-hit defence could not handle Antonio as he scored a quickfire double in West Ham’s 4-1 win.

• 

  Centre forward: Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea) – A brilliant (second) début. Lukaku only took 15 minutes to open his Chelsea account. Pablo Mari could not cope with him.

The new Premier League season is firmly up and running and the second round of fixtures certainly delivered its fair share of thrills.

Liverpool got the weekend under way on Saturday afternoon with a 2-0 win over Burnley at Anfield, before Aston Villa registered their first win of the post-Jack Grealish era with a victory by the same scoreline against Newcastle United.

A goalless draw at Selhurst Park between Crystal Palace and Brentford ensured the promoted club stayed unbeaten, while a 2-2 thriller at Elland Road saw Leeds and Everton claim a point apiece.

Champions Manchester City shrugged off their disappointing opening day loss by thrashing promoted Norwich City 5-0 and Brighton made it two wins from two with 2-0 victory over Watford.

Sunday's fixtures began at St Mary's where Southampton held Manchester United to a 1-1 draw, before Nuno Espirito Santo got one over his former club as Tottenham beat Wolves 1-0 at Molineux.

The blockbuster tie of the weekend then saw Chelsea cruise past Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates, with the final match of the round being played out on Monday night as West Ham dominated 10-man Leicester 4-1.
