🔗 Share this article Premier division: 10 things to watch for this matchday Garnacho versus Walker poised for another battle A Manchester reunion may be in the offing as Burnley's Kyle Walker faces the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The wide man has started to settle with Chelsea following his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and displayed his abilities against Wolves prior to the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto mixed blistering pace with a flawless low cross. His creation for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right prior to lofting a cross toward the far post. His celebration with Neto, echoing his prior embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a reminder of the pace with which situations evolve. The most recent instance Garnacho faced Walker? Back when the youngster scored for United during their Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (all times GMT) 2. Semenyo key to stopping Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is attracting the complete gossip column treatment following a alleged £65m buyout clause for a potential winter exit, the media setting him up for graduation out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. It is understandable from a attacker with six finishes plus three helpers and remains joyous to watch. Nonetheless, his side find themselves in an difficult spot, having undergone a form flip: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who enter on back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven to one on aggregate over their last two fixtures following an impressive opening to the season. Semenyo was denied on the penalty by Emi Martínez in their heavy loss by Aston Villa yet confronting a defensive unit lacking a shutout in the league since the start of the season could be the ideal tonic. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm 3. Welbeck a left-field option for the national team It was intriguing to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck repeatedly throughout the national team window even though the Brighton attacker celebrates 35 soon. “Even without having met him, I know what he can give me,” said the England coach. “He can be a stand-in for Harry [Kane] playing a quite orthodox centre-forward role.” Earning the most recent of his 42 England games several years ago, it's quite plausible that Welbeck could be in the squad for the World Cup provided he manages to continue his goalscoring performances. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has additional strikes over every other English performer in the Premier League this season with six and remains eager to boost that tally when Brighton host Brentford on Saturday. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The full-back needed as assist provider and goalscorer Sessegnon's story has offered a measure of warmth to Fulham's uneven beginning. The left-sided player, who rejoined his youth team recently following five tough years with Spurs, has become a regular starter, driving down the left flank in the absence of the injured Antonee Robinson. The worry? Having scored twice, he remains their joint-top scorer in the Premier League together with Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their leading man in the last term, has netted a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out until 2026 because of hamstring surgery. Sessegnon must also having to step up in a creative role instead of Robinson, who registered ten helpers last season. Fulham's next four games include three among the leading five plus Crystal Palace, who have let in just nine goals in the Premier League so far. Danger looms for a side that have earned a standing for mid-table stability. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm The moment for Isak to deliver for the Merseyside club The dispute about Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike in the match with Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's inferiority on the day as they lost to their seventh loss over ten fixtures. Arne Slot's squad require a prolonged upturn to force their way into the league contest from their current spot, along with a dramatic boost in performance, and a chance presents itself as seven out of their upcoming ten Premier League matches facing clubs at the moment in the lower half of the table. The threat is clear from Nottingham Forest, the single club to deliver a defeat on their own turf on the champions in the last term, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's showing versus direct play and counterattacks that will be under scrutiny. Now is the occasion that Alexander Isak to deliver for Liverpool. The big-money forward has not played for his club for a month having sustained a groin problem when making his second consecutive start in quick succession in Europe win in Germany. The striker came back from the bench in Sweden's reverse by Switzerland but missed the midweek meaningless match with Slovenia to secure his readiness for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
