🔗 Share this article Premier division: ten key points to keep an eye on this weekend Garnacho versus Walker poised for another clash Another northwest showdown could be in store as the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The attacker is adapting well in west London after his off-season signing from Manchester United and displayed his skills in the Wolves match before the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed with a ideal low cross. His contribution for Malo Gusto entailed shifting infield prior to dinking a cross across the goalmouth. His joyous moment with Neto, replicating his earlier hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a indication of how quickly situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho took on Walker? During the Argentine found the net for United in their cup final win over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday 12.30pm (kick-offs GMT) The winger vital to ending Cherries' decline Antoine Semenyo is receiving the entire gossip column attention amid a alleged £65m escape clause for his prospective January departure, the media setting him up for promotion out of the Premier League's middle class. That is predictable from a winger who has six goals plus three setups who is pleasurable to watch. Nonetheless, his team occupy an awkward position, experiencing a role reversal: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who enter with consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have lost seven to one combined in their past two games following an strong beginning to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved on the penalty by Emi Martínez in the heavy loss to Aston Villa but facing a defensive unit that hasn't kept a clean sheet for months might be the perfect remedy. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon three o'clock 3. Welbeck an outside shout for England It proved notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion throughout the fixture pause although the Brighton forward turns 35 in the coming days. “Even without having met him, I am aware what he can provide,” stated the England boss. “He might act as a reserve for Harry [Kane] as a very conventional striker position.” Having won the final 42 international appearances back in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck may be on the plane to the World Cup assuming he can maintain his goalscoring performances. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has more goals than any other English performer in the Premier League this campaign with six and remains keen to add to that total when Brighton host Brentford this weekend. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3pm Ryan Sessegnon crucial as playmaker and finisher The Ryan Sessegnon tale has offered a degree of positivity to Fulham's inconsistent opening. The 25-year-old, who came back to his former side recently after five difficult years with Spurs, has become a first-team fixture, operating on the left with the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The worry? Having scored twice, he's also their top goalscorer in the league as well as Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their top scorer the previous campaign, has netted once while Rodrigo Muniz is injured until 2026 because of hamstring surgery. Sessegnon must also being required to contribute as a creator in place of Robinson, who provided ten setups in the previous campaign. Fulham's following four matches take in three from the top five plus Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine scores this season so far. Trouble awaits for a side that have developed a standing for consistency in the middle. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 5. Time for Isak to deliver for the Merseyside club The debate about Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike in the match with Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's shortcomings during the match as they lost to their seventh loss over ten fixtures. Arne Slot's squad need a consistent improvement to enter the title race from here, as well as a dramatic improvement in form, and opportunity emerges as seven of their next 10 league games versus clubs presently in the lower half in the league. The danger is clear from Nottingham Forest, the sole side to inflict a loss at Anfield to Liverpool the previous campaign, but it is not only Liverpool's showing against direct play and fast breaks that is under the spotlight. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to deliver wearing red. The expensive signing has been absent in domestic action for a month after picking up a groin problem during his second appearance in the lineup in four days in Europe victory at Eintracht Frankfurt. Isak returned as a substitute during Sweden's defeat against Switzerland but sat out Tuesday's dead rubber versus Slovenia to ensure his readiness for the upcoming World Cup knockout rounds. A booking in that match would have suspended him. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
