The Premier League weekend was not short of talking points and discussion.
Newcastle's new manager has made an immediate impact despite difficulties off the pitch, whileArsenal have already shown that the champions will take some stopping. Here are five of the biggest questions and themes to emerge from weekend's Premier League action.
Rayan Cherki's stock took a slight hit during the summer. There were reports of tension and frustration within the France squad during the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to his limited playing time, while an Amazon documentary revealed how Manchester City's team had gambled on the Frenchman despite negative feedback on his mentality.
City took that gamble and have been repaid ever since. Cherki was superb last season, recording 12 **** ists in the Premier League, and has started the new season on fire. He **** isted twice in the opening win over Bournemouth, and scored twice himself as Crystal Palace were put to the sword on Friday night.
The 23-year-old is a special talent and capable of unlocking any game. Maresca must coax that from him on a regular basis and give him the platform to become Kevin De Bruyne's heir.
