🔗 Share this article Premier League: 10 things to look out for this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker ready for a new battle A Manchester reunion could be on the cards as the Clarets' Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The wide man is finding his feet in west London following his close-season transfer from Manchester United and displayed his abilities versus Wolverhampton prior to the international break. His assist for Pedro Neto blended electric speed with a flawless low cross. His creation for Malo Gusto entailed moving onto his right before lofting a ball to the back post. His goal reaction with Neto, mirroring his earlier hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a indication of the speed at which situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho encountered Walker? Back when the former scored for United in their Wembley triumph against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday half past twelve (start times GMT) 2. Semenyo vital to halting Bournemouth's slump Antoine Semenyo is receiving the complete rumour-mill attention due to a claimed £65m buyout clause for his prospective mid-season move, the media positioning him for promotion out of the Premier League's average tier. It is to be expected from a attacker who has a half-dozen strikes plus three setups and remains delightful to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth find themselves in an difficult situation, experiencing a role reversal: it is the struggling side West Ham who come in with consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have been beaten 7-1 over two games in their previous two fixtures after an strong opening to the campaign. Semenyo had his effort saved from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in the four-nil loss to Aston Villa yet taking on a defensive unit without a clean sheet in the league since the start of the season might be the best tonic. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm Danny Welbeck a surprise shout for England It seemed interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the international break although the Brighton attacker celebrates 35 in the coming days. “Despite not having met him, I know what he can offer me,” said the England manager. “He can be a reserve for Harry [Kane] as a very traditional centre-forward position.” Gaining the most recent of his 42 international appearances several years ago, there is every chance that Welbeck might be in the squad to the World Cup provided he manages to maintain his scoring exploits. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal striker has additional strikes compared to any English player in the top flight this campaign on six and remains anxious to add to that tally when Brighton entertain Brentford on Saturday. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon required as playmaker and goalscorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has brought a degree of warmth to Fulham's uneven start. The former Tottenham man, who rejoined his former side last year after five difficult years at Tottenham, is now a consistent pick, driving down the left side with the injured Antonee Robinson. The issue? On two goals, he's also their joint-top scorer in the Premier League together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their top scorer last season, has netted one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is injured until 2026 owing to hamstring surgery. Sessegnon must also being required to contribute as an assist provider replacing Robinson, who provided ten setups last time round. Fulham's upcoming four matches include three among the leading five plus Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine strikes in the league this season. A threat emerges for the club that have built a reputation for mid-table stability. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm 5. Time for Alexander Isak to deliver for the Merseyside club The controversy regarding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort versus Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's deficiencies during the match as they fell to their seventh loss over ten fixtures. The manager's squad need a sustained recovery to enter the title race from here, plus a significant improvement in form, and opportunity arises with seven from their next 10 Premier League matches facing sides currently in the bottom ten of the table. The risk is obvious posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to inflict a home league defeat on the champions last season, however it's not just Liverpool's showing versus long balls and quick transitions that is under the spotlight. Now is the occasion that Alexander Isak to deliver wearing red. The expensive signing has not played for his club in a month having sustained a muscle issue when making his second consecutive start in four days in Europe triumph in Germany. Isak returned as a substitute in Sweden's reverse by Switzerland but missed the subsequent inconsequential game against Slovenia to ensure his fitness for the World Cup playoffs. A booking during the game could have ruled him out. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
