Cherries fans await an update on Semenyo, Gueye’s red card might trouble Everton, and Nuno needs fresh strategies.
With Thomas Frank, Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Christian Nørgaard, and Mark Flekken leaving Brentford in the summer, it seemed Brentford might be relegation contenders, allowing a promoted team to survive. However, under Keith Andrews, they’ve started strong, alternating wins and losses, and are 13th in the table, five points above relegation. Burnley, meanwhile, are where many expected, second-bottom after three consecutive losses. Despite their struggles, they’ve posed challenges to stronger teams with solid midfield play before ultimately losing. Conceding two goals per game isn’t sustainable, but it’s noteworthy that one of Burnley’s three wins was against Sunderland, a team whose style mirrors Brentford’s. If they can execute their passes effectively, Burnley stands a chance.
