The 2024\/25 Premier League <\/a>season is now entering its eighth gameweek, and already, certain players are starting to stand out. Let’s take a closer look at them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryan Mbeumo has scored six goals in just seven games, and his subsequent goal involvement will be a significant milestone.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an in-form Arsenal<\/a> forward is poised to join some illustrious predecessors, and an underrated marksman also has the opportunity to make a piece of club history this weekend.<\/p>\n

    A half-century up for Maddison?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    It’s proving to be another unpredictable season for Tottenham<\/a>. After seven games, Ange Postecoglou’s team has won three and lost three. Their recent match before the international break was a microcosm of their campaign. They had a flawless first half at Brighton<\/a>, taking a 2-0 lead, but then collapsed in the second half and ended up losing 3-2.<\/p>\n

    One positive note is the strong performance of James Maddison, who has been making a significant impact. He has delivered more passes into the opposition box than any other player in the Premier League this season, including crosses. Additionally, Maddison is on the verge of scoring his 50th goal in the competition, having scored in two of his last three league games.<\/p>\n

    Mbeumo entering Brentford history book<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Ivan Toney’s inevitable departure would typically have been felt this summer, but Brentford<\/a> had long prepared for his exit. Thomas Frank’s side have not missed a beat, mainly due to Bryan Mbeumo’s form. He has scored six goals in his seven Premier League games this season, netting in his last three appearances. His next goal or assist — which could be against Manchester United<\/a> this weekend — will see him become the first Brentford player to register 50 Premier League goal involvements (currently 28 goals, 21 assists).<\/p>\n

    Can Delap extend his streak?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Pace, power, skill, finish. ?<\/p>\n
