Premier League team of matchweek 2: Man City stars heavily feature

Week two of the new Premier League season threw up yet more intriguing results, with champions Chelsea flopping once more and Manchester City continuing their impressive start.

So, after the matches on Friday, Saturday and Sunday were played, Coral pick out our starting XI of stars that impressed us the most.

Goalkeeper: Tim Howard (Everton)

His team may have been superb at the end of the pitch, beating Southampton 3-0, but things could’ve gone differently had Howard not saved brilliantly from Sadio Mane with the score goalless.

Right back: Steven Whittaker (Norwich City)
The Canaries (11/8 to be relegated) inflicted a second successive defeat on Sunderland this term, seeing them off 3-1 at the Stadium of Light. Scotsman Whittaker played a big part in that, and grabbed his side’s second goal.

Centre back: Vincent Kompany (Manchester City)
After a somewhat poor season by his standards in 2014/15, Kompany looks back to his best. He followed up his opening day goal against West Bromwich Albion with another against champions Chelsea, and kept a clean sheet along the way.

Centre back: Daley Blind (Manchester United)
United may not be showing great promise going forward, but Blind has been quietly going about his business in an unfavoured position to help the Red Devils to another clean sheet this term. He kept Aston Villa’s new-look attack quiet as his team won 1-0.

Left back: Aleksandar Kolarov (Manchester City)
Another rock at the back for 6/5 title favourites City on the day, his display going forward was also as impressive. He was the cause of much of the Citizens’ attacks.
