This is the final round of Premier League fixtures before the summer transfer window closes on Tuesday, and with it comes the excitement of watching new talent on the pitch and anxiety about potential departures or obvious weaknesses not being addressed.Manchester City, who brought in elegant midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi this week, kicked off the weekend with a 4-1 demolition of Crystal Palace on Friday, with Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki scoring two apiece. They could be getting another new signing, with Cody Gakpo indicating he wants a move to the Etihad.Liverpool will doubtless look to replace the Netherlands international, who was in the starting line-up on Saturday as they twice fought back from a goal down against Nottingham Forest for a 2-2 draw at Anfield. Their brilliant late equaliser came from a new signing who has gone somewhat under the radar: Spanish winger Victor Munoz.New signing Victor Munoz rescued Liverpool on Saturday (Jan Kruger/Getty Images)Hull City won again, beating fellow promoted side Coventry City 1-0 away, and are only kept off being top of the table by Manchester City’s superior goal difference, while a late James Tarkowski goal secured a point for Everton at Bournemouth, where it finished 1-1.Tottenham Hotspur came into the season full of optimism, with an array of new signings for a coach in Roberto De Zerbi who appeared to be turning the club around following his appointment in April, but a 2-0 defeat at home to Newcastle United — a club who sold arguably their three best players this summer — has brought them back down to earth. Having lost 3-0 to Brentford on the opening weekend, Spurs prop up the table.Every Premier League Sunday, writers from The Athletic will give their views on the weekend talking points so far, and you can join the discussion in the comments.This time, they discuss which clubs most need reinforcements before Tuesday night’s deadline, which new signings have impressed already and how unsettling it is that the transfer window remains open after the season has begun.Let us know your views and what else you noticed from the weekend’s action so far.Gameweek 2 results…Friday
