🔗 Share this article Premier League: 10 things to watch for this round of fixtures Garnacho versus Walker poised for another battle A Manchester reunion might be in the offing as the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The attacker is finding his feet at Stamford Bridge following his off-season signing from Manchester United and demonstrated his skills against Wolves prior to the fixture pause. His setup for Pedro Neto combined electric speed with a perfect along-the-deck delivery. His build-up for Malo Gusto involved shifting infield prior to dinking a cross toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, echoing his earlier embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a testament of how quickly circumstances change. The last time Garnacho faced Walker? Back when the Argentine netted for United in the FA Cup final victory against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (start times GMT) The winger crucial to stopping Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is attracting the entire rumour-mill treatment following a claimed £65m escape clause for a potential winter exit, the media preparing him for graduation from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. It is predictable for a winger with six goals and three helpers who is delightful to watch. However, his side are in an tricky spot, having undergone a body swap: now it's the bottom-half team West Ham who enter with consecutive triumphs, whereas Bournemouth are down seven to one combined in their past two fixtures following an strong start to the campaign. Semenyo was denied on the penalty by Emi Martínez in the 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa but taking on a defensive unit lacking a goalless game in the league since the start of the season might be the perfect remedy. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM The striker an outside choice for the national team It proved intriguing to hear Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck multiple times throughout the international break even though the Brighton striker turns 35 in the coming days. “Despite not having met him, I am aware what he is able to provide,” commented the England coach. “He might act as a back-up for Harry [Kane] playing a very conventional striker role.” Earning the last of his 42 international appearances in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck might be in the squad for the World Cup provided he is able to maintain his goalscoring performances. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal striker has a greater tally over every other English performer in the Premier League this term on six and is keen to add to that tally when Brighton welcome Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday three o'clock The full-back crucial as creator and scorer Sessegnon's story has offered some positivity to Fulham's uneven start. The left-sided player, who came back to his boyhood club last year following five difficult years in north London, is now a regular starter, operating on the left flank in the absence of the injured Antonee Robinson. The concern? On two goals, he's also their top goalscorer in the league together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their primary attacker the previous campaign, has scored once while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for an extended period because of a surgical procedure. Sessegnon is also needing to deliver in a creative role in place of Robinson, who provided ten setups last season. The Cottagers' next four fixtures include three among the leading five plus Crystal Palace, who have conceded only nine scores in the Premier League to date. Trouble awaits for a team that have built a standing for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday 3:00 PM The occasion for Isak to produce for Liverpool The dispute about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal in the match with Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they fell to their seventh loss over ten fixtures. Arne Slot's squad must have a sustained recovery to muscle into the championship chase from their current spot, along with a major upturn in results, and the possibility emerges as seven of their following ten Premier League matches versus clubs currently in the bottom half in the standings. The danger is obvious posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to inflict a defeat on their own turf to the title holders last season, but it is not only Liverpool's performance against aerial passes and counterattacks that remains under scrutiny. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to deliver for Liverpool. The £125m striker has not played for his club in a month following a muscle issue when making his second appearance in the lineup over a short period in Europe triumph at Eintracht Frankfurt. Isak returned as a substitute during Sweden's defeat against Switzerland but missed the midweek inconsequential game against Slovenia to ensure his availability for next year's World Cup playoffs. A booking in that match might have ruled him out. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
