🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten key points to look out for this matchday Garnacho versus Walker ready for another battle A Mancunian rematch might be in the offing as the Clarets' Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The wide man is adapting well at Stamford Bridge after his summer move from Manchester United and demonstrated his talents versus Wolverhampton before the international break. His assist for Pedro Neto mixed rapid acceleration and a flawless low cross. His build-up for Malo Gusto involved shifting infield prior to lofting a delivery toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, echoing his previous embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a testament of the speed at which things transform. The last time Garnacho faced Walker? When the former scored for United during their cup final win against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12.30pm (all times GMT) Antoine Semenyo crucial to halting Cherries' slump Antoine Semenyo is getting the full transfer speculation treatment due to a reported £65m escape clause for his prospective January departure, the gossip columns preparing him for graduation out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. That is understandable for a wide player with six goals plus three helpers who is joyous to watch. However, his side occupy an tricky spot, having engaged in a role reversal: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who enter on consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have been beaten seven-one combined in their past two matches following an impressive start to the campaign. Semenyo had his effort saved from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in their four-nil loss by Aston Villa but facing a backline lacking a goalless game for months might be the best remedy. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM The striker an outside option for the Three Lions It seemed intriguing to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck repeatedly throughout the international break although the Brighton attacker turns 35 in the coming days. “Despite not having met him, I understand what he is able to offer me,” commented the England manager. “He could serve as a back-up for Harry [Kane] in a quite conventional No 9 position.” Having won the last of his 42 caps in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck may be selected to the World Cup provided he is able to maintain his goalscoring feats. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal striker can claim additional strikes over every other English performer in the Premier League this campaign with six and is keen to boost that total as Brighton entertain Brentford this weekend. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday 3:00 PM The full-back required as playmaker and goalscorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has offered some positivity to Fulham's uneven beginning. The former Tottenham man, who returned to his youth team last year following five challenging years with Spurs, has emerged as a regular starter, pushing forward on the left side in the absence of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The concern? Having scored twice, he is their joint-top scorer this season alongside Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their leading man last season, has bagged a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable until 2026 owing to a surgical procedure. Sessegnon is also needing to deliver as a creator in place of Robinson, who registered ten setups last season. Fulham's following four games feature three among the best five and Crystal Palace, who have conceded just nine strikes in the Premier League to date. Danger looms for a team that have built a standing for consistency in the middle. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm The occasion for The striker to deliver for Liverpool The debate regarding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort in the match with Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's inferiority on the day as they fell to loss number seven over ten fixtures. The coach's side must have a prolonged upturn to enter the title race from their current spot, along with a dramatic upturn in results, and a chance arises with seven of their following ten top-flight fixtures facing sides presently in the bottom ten of the table. The danger is obvious posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to hand a defeat on their own turf on the champions in the last term, but it is not only Liverpool's performance against direct play and quick transitions that will be under scrutiny. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to show up in a Liverpool shirt. The expensive signing has been absent in domestic action for a month following a groin problem when making his second start in four days in the Champions League victory at Eintracht Frankfurt. He reappeared from the bench during Sweden's defeat to Switzerland but was rested the subsequent inconsequential game with Slovenia to secure his readiness for next year's World Cup playoffs.
