LONDON (Reuters) - After a first week in the Premier League that saw the champions Chelsea toppled and 31 goals flying in, the victories by Manchester's clubs on the opening weekend suggested they could be the teams to chase this term.

The rivals are book-ending week two, with United at Swansea City in Saturday's lunchtime game and City testing Everton's new big-spending resolve on Monday. That should provide an even better feel for their credentials.
