Jeremy Doku - Bags early assistDoku assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Brighton.

ImpactDoku had a decent performance in his return to the starting XI, finding Julian Alvarez in the seventh minute for the first goal in the game. The winger now has three goal contributions over his past three matches and looks poised to be in the starting XI again on Wednesday. He has served more of a rotational role so far this season but is yet to miss a start in the UCL.

Erling Haaland - Gets back on the scoresheetHaaland scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Brighton.

ImpactHaaland ended his three-match spell without a goal on Saturday, netting what would be the eventual game-winner in the 19th minute. The Norwegian now has nine goals through nine matches in the Premier League. He will hope to net his first UCL goal this season in Wednesday's match against Young Boys.

Julian Alvarez - Scores opening goalAlvarez scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Brighton.

ImpactAlvarez wasted no time getting on the scoresheet on Saturday, netting a goal in the seventh minute off of a Jeremy Doku assist. The Argentinian now has four goals in the Premier League this season, bringing his overall total of goal contributions to seven. He has only not started one match and should continue to be a normal starter in the midfield with Kevin De Bruyne still injured.

Stefan Ortega - Loses clean sheet lateStefan Ortega recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Brighton.

ImpactOrtega earned his first start of this season's campaign on Friday, allowing one goal and making two saves in the match. The goalie may start to see some more starting opportunities pop up due to the cup competitions being in full swing now. However, he will most likely return to the bench for Wednesday's UCL match, with Ederson getting the nod in net.

Pascal Gross - Sends in three crossesGross registered one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Manchester City.

ImpactGross was not his usual self on Saturday, as he was limited by the Manchester City press to only one shot and three crosses. The midfielder has now gone three matches in the Premier League without a goal contribution, his longest streak of the season. He did miss a two-match spell before the international break due to an injury but should be a regular starter again now that he is back healthy.

Kaoru Mitoma - Takes three shotsMitoma registered three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Manchester City.

ImpactMitoma had a pretty disappointing showing on Saturday, only notching three shots and one tackle in the loss. The midfielder was a game-time decision on Saturday, so his poor performance may be blamed on him still not being completely fit. He will look to have a better performance in Thursday's match against Ajax.

Ansu Fati - Goal as substituteAnsu Fati scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Manchester City.

ImpactAnsu Fati had looked to have sparked a comeback in the 73rd minute after scoring a goal only six minutes into his appearance, but ultimately, Brighton fell short of the comeback, losing 2-1. The forward has now registered both of his goal contributions off of the bench this season, with the other coming in their 6-1 loss to Villa. He has struggled to earn time in the starting XI with only two starts this season but may have earned another chance to start after his performance against City.
