🔗 Share this article Premier division: ten key points to look out for this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for a fresh battle A Manchester reunion might be in the offing when the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The winger has started to settle at Stamford Bridge following his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and demonstrated his talents versus Wolverhampton prior to the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto blended electric speed with a flawless grounded ball. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved cutting inside before dinking a ball to the back post. His goal reaction with Neto, mirroring his earlier hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a reminder of the pace with which situations evolve. The last time Garnacho took on Walker? During the former netted for United during their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday 12.30pm (all times GMT) 2. Semenyo key to ending Cherries' slide Antoine Semenyo is receiving the full transfer speculation focus due to a claimed £65m escape clause for his potential winter exit, the tabloids positioning him for advancement from the Premier League's average tier. This is to be expected from a winger with six finishes plus three assists and is pleasurable to watch. Still, Bournemouth are in an tricky spot, having undergone a role reversal: now it's the struggling side West Ham who arrive with back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven-one combined over their past two games following an promising beginning to the campaign. Semenyo had his effort saved from the spot by Emi Martínez during the heavy loss to Aston Villa but facing a backline lacking a shutout since August may prove the perfect remedy. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM Danny Welbeck an outside choice for the national team It seemed notable to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the international break despite the fact that the Brighton striker celebrates 35 in the coming days. “Without even having met him, I understand what he can give me,” said the England boss. “He can be a back-up for Harry [Kane] playing a very orthodox striker position.” Having won the last of his 42 international appearances back in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck might be in the squad to the World Cup provided he manages to sustain his scoring performances. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal forward can claim more goals than any other English player in the top flight this season having six and is eager to boost that tally as Brighton welcome Brentford on Saturday. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The full-back required as creator and goalscorer Sessegnon's story has offered a degree of positivity to Fulham's uneven beginning. The left-sided player, who came back to his former side last year after five difficult years at Tottenham, is now a consistent pick, pushing forward on the left flank due to the injury of the injured Antonee Robinson. The worry? Having scored twice, he is their top goalscorer this season together with Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their leading man the previous campaign, has netted a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for an extended period because of hamstring surgery. Additionally, Sessegnon being required to contribute as an assist provider instead of Robinson, who registered 10 assists last time round. Fulham's following four fixtures take in three from the top five as well as Crystal Palace, who have conceded just nine strikes this season to date. Trouble awaits for a team that have developed a name for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon three o'clock 5. Time for Alexander Isak to deliver for the Reds The controversy regarding Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal in the match with Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's shortcomings on the day as they succumbed to their seventh loss over ten fixtures. The coach's side require a sustained recovery to enter the league contest from here, as well as a major upturn in results, and opportunity presents itself as seven out of their following ten league games facing sides at the moment in the bottom ten in the standings. The risk is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the sole side to hand a defeat on their own turf to Liverpool last season, but it is not only Liverpool's performance when facing aerial passes and counterattacks that is in focus. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to deliver wearing red. The big-money forward has been absent in domestic action for a month after picking up a groin injury while his second appearance in the lineup over a short period in Europe victory abroad. He reappeared from the bench during Sweden's defeat by Switzerland but missed Tuesday's dead rubber versus Slovenia to ensure his fitness for the World Cup knockout rounds.
