After losing stars Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha (for a combined $115 million) in the summer, Marsch has begun his second season as Leeds boss in exciting fashion. The good news: four goals scored in two games. The not-quite-as-good news: three goals conceded, against drab attacking sides in Wolves and Southampton. Alas, three goals in two games for Rodrigo is the resounding headline thus far. The 27-times-capped Spanish international endured two difficult seasons to begin his Leeds career (7 and 6 goals) after becoming the club’s record signing in the summer of 2020 (he was eclipsed this summer by USMNT attacker Brenden Aaronson), but the 31-year-old has thrived playing just behind Patrick Bamford, who is expected to miss Sunday’s game after picking up a groin injury against Southampton.

As for Chelsea, an opening-day victory over Everton felt unsatisfying due to the lack of conviction in their performance, followed by a largely dominant display against Tottenham last weekend, only to come away with just a point after conceding deep into stoppage time. That’s football, isn’t it? The Blues sit 4th in the Premier League in both expected goals (3.1) and expected goals against (1.6), a good indicator that their unbeaten start is wholly warranted. The latest transfer rumors suggest that Chelsea are working toward a deal to bring former Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang back to the Premier League after just six months at Barcelona.
