Cherries fans await updates on Semenyo, Gueye’s red card may trouble Everton, and Nuno needs fresh strategies.
With Thomas Frank, Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Christian Nørgaard, and Mark Flekken exiting Brentford in the summer, the Bees appeared likely candidates for relegation, potentially allowing a promoted team to remain. However, under Keith Andrews, they’ve made a steady start, alternating wins and losses to rank 13th, five points above the relegation zone. Conversely, Burnley sits where many expected: second-bottom after three consecutive losses. Despite not being terrible and challenging stronger opponents with organized midfield play, they still face defeat. Conceding two goals per game is unsustainable, but notably, one of Burnley’s three league wins was against Sunderland, whose style is similar to Brentford’s. If Burnley manages their passing, they have a chance. Daniel Harris.
