🔗 Share this article Premier League: 10 things to watch for this round of fixtures Walker faces Garnacho poised for a new encounter A Mancunian rematch may be on the cards when Burnley's Kyle Walker confronts the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The wide man has started to settle at Stamford Bridge following his summer move from Old Trafford and displayed his skills against Wolves prior to the international break. His setup for Pedro Neto mixed rapid acceleration and a perfect low cross. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right prior to chipping a delivery to the back post. His celebration with Neto, mirroring his earlier hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a reminder of how quickly things transform. The most recent instance Garnacho faced Walker? During the Argentine found the net for United in their cup final win against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon half past twelve (kick-offs GMT) 2. Semenyo crucial to halting Cherries' slump Antoine Semenyo is getting the complete rumour-mill attention following a alleged £65m release clause for a prospective winter exit, the gossip columns preparing him for advancement out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. That is to be expected from a attacker who has a half-dozen strikes and three assists and remains joyous to watch. However, his team are in an difficult position, having undergone a form flip: now it's the struggling side West Ham who arrive on consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have lost seven to one on aggregate over their past two matches following an impressive start to the season. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in the four-nil loss by Aston Villa however facing a defence that hasn't kept a goalless game for months might be the ideal remedy. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon three o'clock 3. Welbeck a surprise shout for England It proved interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck repeatedly throughout the national team window even though the Brighton forward celebrates 35 next week. “Despite not having met him, I am aware what he is able to provide,” stated the England boss. “He can be a back-up for Harry [Kane] playing a quite orthodox striker position.” Earning the last of his 42 international appearances back in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck may be in the squad for the World Cup assuming he can sustain his scoring exploits. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal forward has additional strikes than any other English footballer in England's top division this campaign on six and will be eager to boost that count when Brighton host Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The full-back required as playmaker and scorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has offered a measure of positivity to Fulham's inconsistent beginning. The left-sided player, who rejoined his youth team recently following five challenging years at Tottenham, has emerged as a regular starter, pushing forward on the left side due to the injury of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The concern? Having scored twice, he's also their top goalscorer in the league alongside Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their primary attacker the previous campaign, has bagged a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable until 2026 due to hamstring surgery. Sessegnon must also needing to deliver in a creative role instead of Robinson, who provided 10 assists last season. Fulham's next four games take in three among the top five and Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine goals in the league this season. Danger looms for a team that have earned a standing for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm The moment for Alexander Isak to perform for the Reds The debate surrounding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort versus Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they fell to their seventh loss in 10 games. Arne Slot's side require a consistent improvement to muscle into the title race from their current spot, as well as a dramatic upturn in results, and a chance emerges with seven of their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures versus clubs currently in the bottom ten in the standings. The danger is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the sole side to inflict a home league defeat to the title holders in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's performance against direct play and counterattacks that remains in focus. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to perform for Liverpool. The expensive signing has not played in domestic action in a month following a groin problem during his second start in quick succession in Europe win abroad. He reappeared off the bench in Sweden's reverse to Switzerland but was rested the subsequent dead rubber against Slovenia to secure his readiness for the upcoming World Cup knockout rounds. A yellow card on Tuesday might have ruled him out. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
