Bernd Leno - Concedes three goals Leno recorded one save and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Aston Villa.

Emiliano Buendia - Logs assist and goal off bench Buendia scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Sunday's 3-1 victory against Fulham.

Impact After three consecutive starts in the Premier League, Buendia was demoted for the Villa-Fulham game. The demotion paid dividends for him though. Brought on at halftime to re-vitalize a Villa team without a win this season, he did just that, assisting John McGinn and scoring himself to give the side a second and third goal respectively. Buendia has added to both sides of the coin for his G/A, and the hope for him is that he can regularly do so despite a role uncertainty.

However, Watkins is officially on the 2025-26 Premier League's scoresheet, which he will look to add upon more regularly in October.
