First assist back Eriksen provided one assist on two chances created during Saturday's 2-0 win over Burnley.

Impact Eriksen's first assist back in the Premier League, and back on the football pitch, was an emotional moment for everyone involved. The midfielder has now played the full 90 minutes in two consecutive matches and still appears to be one of the top fantasy options in the Premier League. Next up is a Sunday trip to Leicester.

Starts, plays full 90 in win Eriksen had one off-target shot, sent in seven crosses (four accurate), made two interceptions and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 3-1 win over Norwich.

Impact Eriksen made his first start since joining Brentford and not only was able to play the full 90, but also played very well, creating a lot for his teammates, pacing his side in crosses and taking the corner kick that led to the opening goal of the match. After showing that he's more than ready to have an important role for the rest of the season, Eriksen will try to remain productive during next Saturday's clash against Burnley.

Plays 38 minutes in debut Eriksen created one chance, sent in four crosses (one accurate) and made one tackle (won) in 38 minutes during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Newcastle.

Impact Eriksen's debut was tougher than expected after they lost Ryan DaSilva for a straight red card early in the first half. The midfielder subbed on for Mathias Jensen in the 52nd minute, his first official appearance since last summer, and co-led his side in crosses despite the limited time in the field. He will now look for more playing time when they visit Norwich on Saturday.

Impact It's unlikely Eriksen will be in the starting XI in his first match with the senior team, but he will play, so he'll be on the pitch at some point. Assuming he moves into the starting XI, it'll likely be for Vitaly Janelt, though given recent performances, anyone is on the table to be removed from the XI and that includes the oft-injured Mathias Jensen.
