🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten key points to keep an eye on this round of fixtures Garnacho versus Walker ready for a fresh encounter Another northwest showdown could be in the offing as Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The attacker has started to settle in west London following his off-season signing from the Red Devils and showcased his skills in the Wolves match before the fixture pause. His key pass for Pedro Neto blended blistering pace with a flawless low cross. His build-up for Malo Gusto entailed shifting infield before chipping a ball to the back post. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his earlier celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a indication of the speed at which situations evolve. The most recent instance Garnacho took on Walker? During the youngster found the net for United during their cup final win against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12.30pm (all times GMT) The winger crucial to stopping Bournemouth's slump Antoine Semenyo is receiving the full gossip column treatment due to a claimed £65m buyout clause for his potential winter exit, the gossip columns preparing him for promotion from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. That is predictable for a wide player with six goals and three setups and remains pleasurable to watch. Still, his team occupy an tricky spot, having undergone a role reversal: it is the struggling side West Ham who arrive with back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven to one combined over their last two fixtures after an strong opening to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved on the penalty by Emi Martínez in the four-nil loss to Aston Villa yet confronting a backline lacking a goalless game for months may prove the perfect tonic. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm Danny Welbeck an outside shout for the Three Lions It seemed interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the fixture pause even though the Brighton forward reaches 35 next week. “Without even being familiar with him, I know what he could offer me,” stated the England boss. “He could serve as a reserve for Harry [Kane] as a quite orthodox No 9 role.” Earning the final 42 caps back in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck might be on the plane for the World Cup if he is able to maintain his goalscoring exploits. The former Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has additional strikes compared to any English player in England's top division this campaign having six and will be keen to boost that count when Brighton host Brentford on Saturday. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon required as playmaker and scorer Sessegnon's story has brought a measure of positivity to Fulham's uneven start. The former Tottenham man, who rejoined his boyhood club recently after five tough years with Spurs, is now a consistent pick, driving down the left flank due to the injury of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The issue? With two goals, he's also their leading marksman this season together with Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their top scorer the previous campaign, has netted a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out until 2026 because of hamstring surgery. Sessegnon is also being required to contribute in a creative role instead of Robinson, who registered ten helpers last season. Fulham's following four matches take in three among the leading five as well as Crystal Palace, who have allowed merely nine scores this season so far. Danger looms for a side that have earned a reputation for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm The occasion for The striker to produce for Liverpool The controversy about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal in the match with Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they fell to their seventh loss in ten matches. Arne Slot's side must have a sustained recovery to force their way into the title race from here, as well as a significant upturn in results, and a chance arises as seven out of their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures facing sides currently in the bottom half of the table. The risk is evident from Nottingham Forest, the sole side to hand a home league defeat to the title holders last season, but it is not only Liverpool's showing against aerial passes and fast breaks that will be in focus. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to perform wearing red. The expensive signing has not featured for his club for a month having sustained a groin injury when making his second start in quick succession in Europe win in Germany. The striker came back from the bench in the Swedish defeat against Switzerland but missed the subsequent meaningless match against Slovenia to secure his availability for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. A yellow card in that match would have made him ineligible. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
