Here is a look at the Premier League Table for the current 2024/25 season after Week 2, and comparing it to the standings as of Week 1.
Chelsea, as you can see, are the biggest movers up the table- they were 17th in the standings at the end of GW1 and are now in 8th spot after GW2 courtesy of their 6-2 win away at Wolves.
At the end of Game Week 2, four teams remain unbeaten in the new 24/25 Premier League season- defending champions Man City, Brighton, Arsenal and Liverpool. Of these four, Arsenal and Liverpool are yet to concede a goal. The Gunners and LFC both won by identical 2-0 margins over the weekend, but the nature of those victories- they didn’t really dominate or stand out, meant that the two teams didn’t have any representative in the official BBC and PL TOTW.

Deeney’s TOTW: Raya, Kilman, Romero, Van de Ven, Smith Rowe, De Bruyne, Madueke, Palmer, Son, Haaland, Joao Pedro
Arsenal maintained their unbeaten start to the new Premier League season with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday evening. The result was a crucial one for the Gunners, given that AVFC had beaten AFC both home and away in the PL in 2023-24.

Two BIG Ollie Watkins misses for Aston Villa
This could’ve been a completely different game for Villa had Ollie Watkins converted two glorious chances for them before Arsenal scored. For the first one, he shot wide after some excellent Villa pressing had forced Gabriel Magalhaes into a mistake. For the second, Watkins’ header was brilliantly saved by David Raya from point blank range.
