Sergej Jakirovic, the Croatian manager of Hull City, was nominated by the Premier League as one of four candidates for the Manager of the Month award for August. [^1]

Hull City defeated Coventry City 1-0 in their second match away, with Liam Millar scoring the winning goal in the 82nd minute. [^2]

Hull City defeated Manchester United 2-0 in their first match of the season at home. [^3]

Jakirovic led Hull City to a perfect start in the Premier League season with two wins and no goals conceded in the first two matches. [^4]

Morgan Rogers, who chose Chelsea over Arsenal and reportedly for £117m, has recorded a goal and an assist in his first two Premier League games, and only Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes has a higher combined total of shots and chances created across the opening two matches. [^5]

Arsenal's defensive solidity has persisted despite the absence of William Saliba and Jurrien Timber; the back four of Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera, Gabriel, and Riccardo Calafiori had never started a Premier League match together before the first two games of the current season. [^6]
