End of play on the first round of fixtures and one of the pundits is top of the table! A gamble on the strength of the Reading defence away to the Champions Manchester United appeared to pay off, especially when one of them was captain and man of the match Marcus Hahnemann.

Second in the table is Spurs fan Martin Childs who packed his midfield with talent from across the country, He could have scored more if McCarthy had stayed on the pitch or if he had picked a more effective captain. Berbatov was short of supply and he was subbed in Spurs loss to Roy Keane’s Sunderland.

Don’t forget to make changes to your teams by 19:30 tomorrow ahead of the start of week two.  Spurs will hope to bounce back after their ‘shock’ defeat on Saturday, while their victors have a trip to St. Andrews to play a Birmingham City side full of confidence having put two goals past a Chelsea side in one half that only conceded 11 goals at the Bridge in the league last season.

Sven will hope that he can get his charges to score some home league goals to follow on from the win at West Ham. Rooney-less Man Utd travel to Fratton Park, where their strike force or lack their of will have to face Pompey’s ageing defence. Reading will hope that they can take their defensive capability back to the Madjeski to keep a clean sheet against Chelski. While the relegation battle begins at the JJB Stadium where Wigan host Boro.
