🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten key points to watch for this round of fixtures 1. Garnacho and Walker set for a fresh clash A Mancunian rematch might be on the cards as Burnley's Kyle Walker confronts the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The winger has started to settle with Chelsea following his summer move from Old Trafford and demonstrated his abilities in the Wolves match before the international break. His setup for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed and a ideal grounded ball. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved cutting inside before dinking a ball to the back post. His celebration with Neto, mirroring his previous hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a indication of the pace with which situations evolve. The last time Garnacho encountered Walker? When the former netted for United during their Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday afternoon half past twelve (kick-offs GMT) The winger crucial to halting Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is getting the full transfer speculation focus due to a reported £65m escape clause for a potential winter exit, the gossip columns positioning him for promotion from the Premier League's average tier. That is predictable from a attacker who has six finishes plus three assists and remains pleasurable to watch. Still, his side occupy an tricky situation, experiencing a body swap: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who arrive on back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven-one combined over their past two games after an promising opening to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez during the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa however confronting a defensive unit without a shutout in the league since the start of the season may prove the ideal solution. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 3. Welbeck a surprise option for the Three Lions It seemed notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck multiple times during the international break although the Brighton forward turns 35 next week. “Even without being familiar with him, I am aware what he could offer me,” commented the England manager. “He might act as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] in a quite traditional No 9 position.” Earning the last of his 42 caps back in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck may be selected for the World Cup assuming he is able to maintain his goal-getting exploits. The former Manchester United and Arsenal forward can claim more goals over every other English performer in England's top division this season with six and will be eager to add to that total as Brighton host Brentford this weekend. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon needed as creator and finisher The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has brought some positivity to Fulham's inconsistent opening. The former Tottenham man, who came back to his boyhood club recently following five difficult years with Spurs, has become a regular starter, pushing forward on the left side with the injured Antonee Robinson. The issue? With two goals, he remains their leading marksman in the league together with Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their top scorer in the last term, has netted one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is out for the long term owing to hamstring surgery. Additionally, Sessegnon being required to contribute as a creator replacing Robinson, who provided ten setups in the previous campaign. Fulham's upcoming four fixtures feature three among the best five plus Crystal Palace, who have allowed only nine goals this season to date. Trouble awaits for a side that have built a reputation for solidity in the central positions. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The moment for Alexander Isak to produce for the Merseyside club The controversy regarding Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal versus Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's shortcomings during the match as they succumbed to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. The coach's squad require a prolonged upturn to force their way into the league contest from their current spot, along with a significant upturn in results, and the possibility arises as seven out of their next 10 league games against clubs currently in the bottom half in the standings. The risk is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to hand a loss at Anfield to the title holders last season, however it's not just Liverpool's showing against aerial passes and quick transitions that is under scrutiny. It is time for Alexander Isak to deliver for Liverpool. The big-money forward has not played at club level for a month after picking up a muscle issue when making his second consecutive start over a short period in the Champions League win in Germany. Isak returned off the bench during Sweden's reverse to Switzerland but was rested the midweek inconsequential game with Slovenia to guarantee his readiness for next year's World Cup playoffs.
