🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten key points to watch for this matchday Garnacho versus Walker poised for a new encounter A Mancunian rematch could be in the offing when the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The attacker is adapting well at Stamford Bridge following his summer move from Old Trafford and showcased his talents versus Wolverhampton prior to the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto mixed blistering pace and a ideal along-the-deck delivery. His creation for Malo Gusto required cutting inside before lofting a ball toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his earlier embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a testament of how quickly situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho took on Walker? During the youngster scored for United during their cup final win against Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday 12.30pm (all times GMT) The winger crucial to stopping Cherries' slump Antoine Semenyo is attracting the full gossip column treatment following a claimed £65m buyout clause for a possible mid-season move, the gossip columns preparing him for graduation from the Premier League's average tier. This is understandable from a attacker who has a half-dozen strikes and three setups and remains joyous to watch. However, his side find themselves in an difficult position, having undergone a form flip: now it's the struggling side West Ham who come in on back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth are down seven to one on aggregate over their past two fixtures following an impressive start to the season. Semenyo was denied from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in the four-nil loss by Aston Villa but confronting a backline lacking a shutout since August might be the perfect tonic. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm 3. Welbeck an outside shout for the national team It seemed intriguing to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck multiple times during the national team window although the Brighton striker reaches 35 in the coming days. “Despite not having met him, I understand what he could give me,” stated the England manager. “He can be a reserve for Harry [Kane] playing a quite conventional No 9 position.” Having won the final 42 international appearances back in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck could be selected to the World Cup provided he manages to maintain his scoring feats. The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker can claim a greater tally compared to any English performer in the Premier League this term on six and is keen to add to that tally when Brighton host Brentford on Saturday. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon needed as creator and goalscorer The Ryan Sessegnon tale has brought a degree of warmth to Fulham's inconsistent beginning. The 25-year-old, who came back to his youth team last year following five challenging years at Tottenham, is now a first-team fixture, driving down the left side in the absence of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The concern? Having scored twice, he's also their top goalscorer in the league together with Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their top scorer the previous campaign, has scored once whereas Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term due to a hamstring operation. Sessegnon is also having to step up as a creator in place of Robinson, who provided 10 assists last time round. Fulham's following four matches include three of the leading five plus Crystal Palace, who have allowed just nine strikes in the league to date. Trouble awaits for a side that have developed a name for solidity in the central positions. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 5. Time for The striker to perform for Liverpool The debate regarding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike versus Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's deficiencies on the day as they fell to loss number seven in ten matches. The coach's side require a consistent improvement to enter the league contest from their current spot, along with a dramatic improvement in form, and opportunity presents itself with seven from their next 10 Premier League matches versus clubs presently in the bottom half in the league. The threat is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to hand a loss at Anfield on the champions in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's showing when facing direct play and fast breaks that will be under scrutiny. The moment has come for Alexander Isak to deliver wearing red. The big-money forward has been absent for his club for a month having sustained a groin injury when making his second start in four days in the Champions League victory at Eintracht Frankfurt. He reappeared off the bench in the Swedish loss by Switzerland but sat out the midweek meaningless match versus Slovenia to ensure his readiness for the World Cup qualifiers. A booking in that match would have made him ineligible. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
