🔗 Share this article Premier League: 10 things to look out for this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker set for a fresh clash A Mancunian rematch may be in store as Burnley's Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The wide man is adapting well in west London after his summer move from Manchester United and showcased his skills in the Wolves match prior to the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto combined blistering pace with a ideal low cross. His contribution for Malo Gusto entailed cutting inside prior to chipping a ball across the goalmouth. His joyous moment with Neto, echoing his previous embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a testament of the speed at which things transform. The most recent instance Garnacho faced Walker? Back when the youngster netted for United during their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (kick-offs GMT) 2. Semenyo key to ending Cherries' slide Antoine Semenyo is attracting the entire rumour-mill treatment due to a claimed £65m release clause for his prospective winter exit, the tabloids preparing him for advancement out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. It is to be expected from a winger with a half-dozen strikes plus three assists and is delightful to watch. However, his side occupy an awkward situation, experiencing a role reversal: now it's the struggling side West Ham who arrive with consecutive triumphs, whereas Bournemouth are down seven to one combined over their last two games following an promising opening to the season. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in their 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa but confronting a defence without a goalless game in the league since the start of the season may prove the ideal tonic. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm Danny Welbeck a left-field choice for the national team It seemed notable to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion throughout the national team window despite the fact that the Brighton striker turns 35 soon. “Even without having met him, I understand what he is able to give me,” said the England boss. “He might act as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] playing a very conventional centre-forward role.” Earning the last of his 42 international appearances back in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck might be in the squad to the World Cup if he manages to maintain his goalscoring performances. The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker has additional strikes over every other English footballer in the Premier League this campaign on six and remains eager to add to that total when Brighton entertain Brentford this weekend. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday 3pm 4. Sessegnon required as playmaker and goalscorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has provided a degree of positivity to Fulham's uneven beginning. The left-sided player, who returned to his boyhood club in 2024 after five challenging years in north London, has become a consistent pick, pushing forward on the left side due to the injury of the injured Antonee Robinson. The worry? With two goals, he is their leading marksman this season together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their top scorer last season, has bagged a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term because of hamstring surgery. Sessegnon must also being required to contribute as an assist provider replacing Robinson, who supplied ten setups in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' following four games take in three of the top five and Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine scores this season to date. Trouble awaits for the club that have earned a name for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 5. Time for The striker to perform for the Merseyside club The debate regarding Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal in the match with Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's deficiencies on the day as they lost to their seventh loss in 10 games. The manager's side need a sustained recovery to muscle into the league contest from their current spot, plus a significant upturn in results, and the possibility arises with seven from their next 10 top-flight fixtures versus teams currently in the bottom half of the table. The danger is evident from Nottingham Forest, the only team to deliver a defeat on their own turf to Liverpool last season, but it is not only Liverpool's showing versus aerial passes and fast breaks that is under the spotlight. Now is the occasion for Alexander Isak to perform for Liverpool. The £125m striker has not featured in domestic action in a month having sustained a muscle issue during his second start in four days in the Champions League victory abroad. Isak returned from the bench during Sweden's defeat against Switzerland but missed the midweek dead rubber versus Slovenia to ensure his availability for the World Cup playoffs. A yellow card during the game would have ruled him out. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
