The highlight of the second round of the Premier League is the match between Aston Villa and Arsenal. Last season, the Gunners lost to Unai Emery's team in both the first and second legs, directly affecting the championship race. Arsenal only needs to win 1 of the 2 matches against Villa to surpass Man City in the Premier League rankings.
Aston Villa and Arsenal both started the 2024/25 season with three points on the opening day. Birmingham’s victory was a bit more difficult, as they needed a goal from Jhon Duran in the 80th minute to seal a 2-1 win. The match between Aston Villa and Arsenal will be crucial to the position of both teams in the first half of the season.
Creating a dozen chances towards Fulham's goal, Man Utd only won after Joshua Zirkzee's individual moment. They need to improve their chances, especially when facing the top team Brighton. The "Seagulls" were the team that won the most in the first round (beating Everton 3-0), and only let their opponents shoot on target once.
Man Utd are expected to face many difficulties against coach Fabian Hurzeler's team.
