đź”— Share this article Premier division: ten key points to look out for this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker ready for a new clash 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 close-season transfer from Manchester United and displayed his skills against Wolves prior to the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto mixed blistering pace with a perfect along-the-deck delivery. His contribution for Malo Gusto required shifting infield before lofting a cross toward the far post. His goal reaction with Neto, mirroring his prior celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a reminder of the pace with which situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho faced Walker? During the youngster netted for United in their Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday half past twelve (all times GMT) The winger vital to halting Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is getting the complete transfer speculation attention due to a claimed ÂŁ65m buyout clause for his prospective mid-season move, the media setting him up for graduation from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. It is to be expected from a wide player with a half-dozen strikes and three helpers who is pleasurable to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth occupy an awkward position, experiencing a body swap: now it's the struggling side West Ham who come in on back-to-back victories, while Bournemouth are down seven-one combined over their past two games following an strong opening to the campaign. Semenyo had his effort saved on the penalty by Emi MartĂnez in their 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa however confronting a defensive unit that hasn't kept a shutout since August could be the ideal tonic. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday three o'clock 3. Welbeck an outside shout for the Three Lions It was notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the international break although the Brighton forward turns 35 in the coming days. “Despite not knowing him, I understand what he can offer me,” stated the England coach. “He might act as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] in a quite traditional No 9 role.” Having won the last of his 42 international appearances in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be selected for the World Cup assuming he is able to sustain his scoring feats. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal forward has more goals compared to any English player in the Premier League this season on six and will be anxious to add to that tally when Brighton entertain Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday three o'clock The full-back crucial as playmaker and goalscorer Sessegnon's story has offered some comfort to Fulham's uneven opening. The left-sided player, who rejoined his youth team in 2024 after five difficult years with Spurs, has become a consistent pick, pushing forward on the left in the absence of the injured Antonee Robinson. The worry? On two goals, he is their top goalscorer this season together with Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their primary attacker the previous campaign, has netted a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out for an extended period owing to a hamstring operation. Sessegnon is also having to step up in a creative role replacing Robinson, who supplied 10 assists in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' upcoming four matches feature three among the top five as well as Crystal Palace, who have let in merely nine goals in the Premier League to date. Danger looms for a team that have earned a standing for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The occasion for Isak to produce for the Merseyside club The controversy about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal against Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's inferiority on the day as they lost to their seventh loss in 10 games. Arne Slot's squad must have a sustained recovery to muscle into the championship chase from here, along with a dramatic upturn in results, and a chance arises as seven out of their next 10 Premier League matches versus clubs currently in the bottom ten in the league. The threat is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the sole side to hand a defeat on their own turf to the title holders last season, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's showing when facing long balls and counterattacks that will be in focus. It is time that Alexander Isak to show up wearing red. The expensive signing has not played at club level for a month following a groin problem when making his second consecutive start in quick succession in Europe victory at Eintracht Frankfurt. He reappeared as a substitute in Sweden's reverse to Switzerland but was rested Tuesday's meaningless match versus Slovenia to guarantee his readiness for the upcoming World Cup knockout rounds. A caution in that match would have suspended him. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
