🔗 Share this article Premier division: ten key points to watch for this matchday Walker faces Garnacho poised for another battle Another northwest showdown may be in store as Burnley's Kyle Walker confronts the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The winger is finding his feet in west London following his summer move from the Red Devils and displayed his talents versus Wolverhampton before the national team interval. His key pass for Pedro Neto mixed blistering pace and a flawless along-the-deck delivery. His creation for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right prior to lofting a cross across the goalmouth. His joyous moment with Neto, echoing his previous embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a indication of how quickly circumstances change. The previous occasion Garnacho faced Walker? Back when the former scored for United during their Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday half past twelve (kick-offs GMT) The winger key to ending Bournemouth's decline Antoine Semenyo is getting the complete rumour-mill treatment following a alleged £65m release clause for a prospective January departure, the media positioning him for promotion out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. It is understandable from a wide player who has a half-dozen strikes plus three helpers who is joyous to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth are in an difficult position, having undergone a role reversal: it is the struggling side West Ham who come in with back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven to one over two games over their last two fixtures after an impressive opening to the season. Semenyo was denied on the penalty by Emi Martínez during the heavy loss to Aston Villa but facing a defensive unit without a clean sheet since August may prove the ideal solution. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The striker an outside option for England It seemed interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the national team window even though the Brighton forward turns 35 in the coming days. “Despite not having met him, I know what he could offer me,” stated the England coach. “He might act as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] playing a very orthodox striker position.” Earning the most recent of his 42 international appearances several years ago, there is every chance that Welbeck may be on the plane to the World Cup assuming he can continue his scoring exploits. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal forward boasts a greater tally than any other English player in the top flight this season on six and is anxious to boost that count when Brighton welcome Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon required as assist provider and finisher The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has brought a degree of warmth to Fulham's inconsistent start. The left-sided player, who came back to his youth team recently following five difficult years at Tottenham, is now a regular starter, operating on the left flank with the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The concern? With two goals, he is their leading marksman in the Premier League as well as Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their top scorer last season, has bagged one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is out until 2026 because of a surgical procedure. Additionally, Sessegnon needing to deliver in a creative role instead of Robinson, who registered ten setups in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' upcoming four games feature three among the top five plus Crystal Palace, who have allowed merely nine strikes in the league to date. Trouble awaits for a side that have earned a standing for consistency in the middle. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday three o'clock The occasion for Isak to deliver for the Merseyside club The debate regarding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike in the match with Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they lost to a seventh defeat in 10 games. The manager's squad require a sustained recovery to enter the championship chase from here, plus a significant upturn in results, and opportunity arises as seven from their next 10 Premier League matches facing clubs at the moment in the bottom ten in the league. The risk is evident from Nottingham Forest, the single club to hand a loss at Anfield to Liverpool in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's display when facing direct play and fast breaks that remains under the spotlight. It is time for Alexander Isak to show up wearing red. The big-money forward has not featured for his club for a month following a groin injury when making his second consecutive start over a short period in Europe victory abroad. Isak returned off the bench during Sweden's defeat against Switzerland but was rested the midweek inconsequential game with Slovenia to ensure his availability for the upcoming World Cup knockout rounds. A caution in that match might have ruled him out. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
