#3 Worrying signs for Stoke and Sunderland
Trending
The other end of the table is looking more and more worrying for teams that are struggling in the relegation zone. Stoke City and Sunderland are the only teams in the top flight who are yet to win a game in the league this season.
Mark Hughes’ Stoke only managed a draw at home to West Brom thanks to a late equaliser from Solomon Rondon. Although, it was their first point gained since their opening day draw against Middlesbrough. The Potters have been performing extremely poorly considering the quality of players in their side, with Hughes desperately hoping for a change in fortunes.
David Moyes will be the most disappointed manager of the week after he saw his side throw away a two-goal lead to end up losing the game against Crystal Palace at The Stadium of Light. Jermaine Defoe did his job up front, grabbing both goals but the Black Cats could not hold out and lost their third league game in a row.
Even though it is still very early in the season, both sides will want to dig themselves out of this slump as quickly as possible.
#4 Klopp’s unstoppable Reds
After their dominant display at Chelsea last week, Jurgen Klopp’s side came up against a resilient Hull City side at Anfield. The Reds demolished the newly promoted side 5-1, to continue their upsurge in recent weeks. Only Manchester City have scored more goals(18) in the league this season compared to Liverpool’s 16. With three wins in a row, Liverpool find themselves in the top four position, only a point behind Tottenham and five behind leaders Manchester City.
Hull have enjoyed a decent start to the season despite their off the field issues with victories in their opening two fixtures. Three losses and a draw in their last four games is not an ideal scenario but considering that their defeats were against Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, Mike Phelan will not be too worried.
