The Premier League's biggest surprise packages so far
The Premier League bounces back into action this weekend following October's international break and resumes with the season having already unearthed several intriguing narratives.
Matchday seven is headlined by the blockbuster clash between Liverpool and Manchester United, who could both do with a win, but there is plenty more to chew on across the round.
The season has already thrown up several unpredictable names, but who are the biggest surprises of the campaign so far? DAZN News counts them down.
Antoine Semenyo
It shouldn't really be a surprise about how electric Semenyo is, after all, he was one of Bournemouth's best players last season. However, he's started off this campaign on fire, revelling in the Cherries' own impressive start.
Only Erling Haaland has been involved in more goal involvements than the opening weeks than Semenyo, with six goals in his first seven games and three assists.
His rapid pace and trickery give Bournemouth such a creative outlet, and it's a testament to him and the team that they've kicked on again despite losing some major names over the summer.

Sunderland
After two consecutive seasons of seeing all three promoted clubs fail to stay in the big time, there were huge concerns it could happen for a third time this season.
However, so far, so good, especially when it comes to the Black Cats. The play-off winners were everyone's favourites to get relegated at the start of the campaign, but having invested heavily in the summer they are way exceeding expectations.
Led by the excellent Granit Xhaka, Sunderland have given it a right go and not been afraid to dig deep and defend when they need to. It's a refreshing change from a cleverly assembled squad that already looks like it's paying dividends.

Thomas Frank
The appointment of Thomas Frank always seemed like a sensible one from Spurs, but we've seen in the past that it has still gone pear-shaped for the North Londoners.
However, the Danish boss has shored the defence up and made them harder to beat, perhaps not as pretty to watch, but they are winning games and looking like European contenders.
Add in the touch of flair that Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons had given them, then Tottenham could conceivably get better and better as the season goes on.

Crystal Palace
FA Cup winners, Community Shield winners, why should we be surprised that the Eagles continue to soar?
Well, many feared the worst when Palace said goodbye to star man Ebere Eze, but like a Football Manager regen, Oliver Glasnar manages to keep his side ticking along and improving.
They were 19 games unbeaten before their defeat to Everton last time out - including becoming the first side to beat champions Liverpool - while names that Daniel Munoz, Adam Wharton and Jean Philippe Mateta continue to impress. Who'd bet against a European honour heading their way this season?

Jack Grealish
The Premier League loves a comeback story and even more so when it's from everyone's favourite £100 million baller.
Surplus to requirements in Manchester, Grealish gambled with a loan move to Everton, but has taken the opportunity to show what a top player he is when given the freedom to do what he wants.
The forward already feels like the first darling of the Hill-Dickinson, leading the way in assists for the league and showing displays that will surely lead to an England recall.
