Premier League: Gameweek 2 - Talking points

Another exciting weekend of Premier League football concluded with Manchester United’s 0-0 draw against Chelsea. So, let us look at the five major talking points from the weekend.

Is Sturridge the best English striker in the league?

Daniel Sturridge of Liverpool

With 12 goals in 13 Premier League starts since joining Liverpool in January, the question of whether Daniel Sturridge is the best English striker in the league doesn’t seem out of place. After all, ever since his move to Anfield – of all the players who have played more than 1,000 minutes, only Christian Benteke has a better minutes-per-goal ratio in the Premier League than Sturridge.

Whilst England aren’t really blessed with strikers and Danny Welbeck, Rickie Lambert, Andy Carroll and Jermain Defoe have all had a chance to prove their worth to the side, it shouldn’t be too long before Roy Hodgson does the same with Sturridge, especially if he can keep up his scintillating form over the course of the season.
