🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten highlights to keep an eye on this matchday Garnacho versus Walker poised for a fresh battle Another northwest showdown could be on the cards as Burnley's Kyle Walker faces the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The winger is adapting well with Chelsea after his off-season signing from the Red Devils and showcased his abilities versus Wolverhampton before the national team interval. His assist for Pedro Neto blended rapid acceleration and a perfect along-the-deck delivery. His build-up for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right prior to lofting a delivery toward the far post. His celebration with Neto, mirroring his earlier celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a reminder of the pace with which things transform. The most recent instance Garnacho encountered Walker? When the youngster found the net for United in the FA Cup final victory against Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (kick-offs GMT) The winger crucial to ending Cherries' slump Antoine Semenyo is receiving the entire transfer speculation attention due to a reported £65m buyout clause for his possible winter exit, the tabloids setting him up for promotion from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. That is understandable for a attacker with six goals plus three setups who is pleasurable to watch. However, his team are in an awkward spot, having engaged in a form flip: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who come in with consecutive triumphs, whereas Bournemouth have lost 7-1 on aggregate in their past two matches following an strong opening to the campaign. Semenyo had his effort saved from the spot by Emi Martínez in their heavy loss to Aston Villa but confronting a defensive unit without a clean sheet for months may prove the perfect remedy. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM Danny Welbeck a left-field choice for England It seemed interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck multiple times during the international break despite the fact that the Brighton forward reaches 35 soon. “Despite not being familiar with him, I understand what he could give me,” commented the England manager. “He can be a reserve for Harry [Kane] in a quite traditional centre-forward position.” Gaining the last of his 42 caps in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be in the squad for the World Cup if he can maintain his scoring exploits. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker can claim more goals over every other English performer in England's top division this campaign on six and will be keen to add to that total as Brighton entertain Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon crucial as assist provider and goalscorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has offered a degree of positivity to Fulham's uneven start. The former Tottenham man, who came back to his former side in 2024 after five difficult years in north London, has become a consistent pick, operating on the left side due to the injury of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The issue? On two goals, he is their top goalscorer in the Premier League alongside Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their primary attacker in the last term, has bagged one goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for an extended period owing to a surgical procedure. Sessegnon must also needing to deliver in a creative role in place of Robinson, who supplied ten helpers in the previous campaign. Fulham's next four fixtures feature three among the best five as well as Crystal Palace, who have allowed just nine strikes this season to date. A threat emerges for a team that have earned a name for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm The moment for Isak to deliver for the Merseyside club The debate regarding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort against Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's deficiencies on the day as they fell to loss number seven over ten fixtures. The coach's squad need a prolonged upturn to enter the championship chase from this position, as well as a major improvement in form, and the possibility arises with seven of their next 10 top-flight fixtures facing sides currently in the bottom ten of the table. The threat is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to deliver a defeat on their own turf to Liverpool in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's performance versus aerial passes and fast breaks that remains in focus. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to deliver wearing red. The big-money forward has not played in domestic action in a month after picking up a groin injury while his second consecutive start over a short period in the Champions League triumph in Germany. The striker came back as a substitute in the Swedish loss by Switzerland but missed the midweek meaningless match with Slovenia to ensure his fitness for next year's World Cup playoffs. A booking during the game might have made him ineligible. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
