Three talking points from the Premier League weekend

Premier League weekend highlights include Chelsea's strong start under Xabi Alonso, with seven goals and six points in their first two matches, and a potential title challenge ahead of their game against Arsenal. Manchester City, also performing well, sits atop the table after defeating Crystal Palace 4-1. Meanwhile, Tottenham's costly transfer investments have yet to yield results, leading to two consecutive losses without a goal or point.

Liverpool, despite spending heavily on forwards, remains vulnerable with Andoni Iraola's team drawing their first two matches, exposing defensive weaknesses.
