🔗 Share this article Premier division: 10 things to look out for this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker set for a new battle A Mancunian rematch might be in store when the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The wide man is adapting well in west London following his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and demonstrated his abilities against Wolves prior to the fixture pause. His assist for Pedro Neto blended rapid acceleration with a perfect along-the-deck delivery. His creation for Malo Gusto required shifting infield prior to chipping a delivery to the back post. His celebration with Neto, mirroring his earlier hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a reminder of the pace with which things transform. The most recent instance Garnacho encountered Walker? Back when the former netted for United in the Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12.30pm (all times GMT) 2. Semenyo crucial to ending Cherries' slide Antoine Semenyo is getting the complete transfer speculation treatment amid a reported £65m buyout clause for a potential January departure, the media preparing him for graduation out of the Premier League's average tier. It is understandable from a winger with six finishes and three helpers who is joyous to watch. Still, his team occupy an awkward position, having engaged in a form flip: it is the struggling side West Ham who come in with back-to-back victories, while Bournemouth have been beaten seven to one combined in their previous two fixtures after an impressive opening to the campaign. Semenyo was denied on the penalty by Emi Martínez in the heavy loss by Aston Villa however facing a backline lacking a clean sheet in the league since the start of the season could be the best tonic. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM The striker a surprise shout for the Three Lions It seemed intriguing to hear Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck repeatedly throughout the national team window despite the fact that the Brighton attacker turns 35 in the coming days. “Without even knowing him, I know what he could give me,” stated the England coach. “He can be a stand-in for Harry [Kane] in a very traditional striker position.” Having won the last of his 42 caps several years ago, it's quite plausible that Welbeck could be in the squad to the World Cup assuming he manages to sustain his scoring feats. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has a greater tally compared to any English player in the top flight this season with six and is anxious to add to that count as Brighton host Brentford this weekend. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday 3pm The full-back required as playmaker and finisher The Ryan Sessegnon tale has offered a measure of positivity to Fulham's bumpy beginning. The left-sided player, who returned to his boyhood club in 2024 following five difficult years with Spurs, is now a consistent pick, operating on the left flank due to the injury of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The worry? With two goals, he remains their joint-top scorer in the Premier League together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their primary attacker in the last term, has netted once while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for an extended period because of a surgical procedure. Additionally, Sessegnon having to step up as an assist provider replacing Robinson, who provided 10 assists last season. Fulham's following four games feature three from the top five plus Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine scores this season so far. Danger looms for a side that have built a name for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday 3pm The moment for Alexander Isak to produce for the Reds The debate regarding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike against Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they lost to their seventh loss in ten matches. The manager's side need a consistent improvement to enter the league contest from their current spot, as well as a major boost in performance, and a chance emerges with seven from their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures against sides presently in the bottom ten in the league. The risk is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the only team to deliver a loss at Anfield to Liverpool the previous campaign, but it is not only Liverpool's display against direct play and quick transitions that is under scrutiny. The moment has come for Alexander Isak to show up for Liverpool. The £125m striker has been absent at club level in a month following a groin injury when making his second consecutive start in quick succession in Europe victory in Germany. He reappeared off the bench during Sweden's reverse to Switzerland but missed the subsequent dead rubber versus Slovenia to secure his availability for next year's World Cup knockout rounds.
