đź”— Share this article Premier division: ten key points to keep an eye on this weekend Garnacho versus Walker ready for another clash A Manchester reunion might be on the cards when Burnley's Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The attacker has started to settle in west London following his close-season transfer from Manchester United and displayed his skills against Wolves prior to the national team interval. His assist for Pedro Neto combined electric speed with a perfect along-the-deck delivery. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right before chipping a cross toward the far post. His celebration with Neto, mirroring his earlier hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a indication of how quickly things transform. The most recent instance Garnacho faced Walker? During the youngster scored for United in the cup final win over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday half past twelve (kick-offs GMT) Antoine Semenyo vital to halting Cherries' slide Antoine Semenyo is getting the full rumour-mill treatment amid a alleged ÂŁ65m escape clause for a prospective January departure, the gossip columns preparing him for promotion from the Premier League's average tier. This is understandable from a winger who has six goals plus three helpers who is delightful to watch. Nonetheless, his side find themselves in an awkward situation, having engaged in a role reversal: now it's the struggling side West Ham who come in on back-to-back victories, while Bournemouth have lost seven to one combined over their previous two games after an impressive opening to the campaign. Semenyo was denied from the spot by Emi MartĂnez in the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa however confronting a defensive unit without a goalless game in the league since the start of the season might be the ideal remedy. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 3. Welbeck a surprise shout for the national team It was interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion throughout the fixture pause even though the Brighton attacker turns 35 in the coming days. “Despite not being familiar with him, I know what he can provide,” commented the England manager. “He might act as a back-up for Harry [Kane] in a quite conventional centre-forward position.” Earning the final 42 England games back in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck might be in the squad for the World Cup assuming he can maintain his scoring feats. The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker boasts additional strikes over every other English player in England's top division this term on six and will be anxious to increase that tally as Brighton welcome Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3pm The full-back needed as assist provider and scorer Sessegnon's story has offered some positivity to Fulham's uneven start. The 25-year-old, who returned to his boyhood club in 2024 after five difficult years with Spurs, has emerged as a consistent pick, operating on the left side with the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The worry? On two goals, he remains their leading marksman in the Premier League as well as Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their primary attacker last season, has bagged once while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term because of a hamstring operation. Sessegnon must also having to step up in a creative role replacing Robinson, who supplied ten helpers in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' next four matches feature three of the leading five plus Crystal Palace, who have let in just nine scores in the Premier League to date. Trouble awaits for a team that have earned a name for solidity in the central positions. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday 3pm The moment for Isak to deliver for Liverpool The dispute surrounding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike versus Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's deficiencies on the day as they succumbed to their seventh loss in 10 games. The coach's side need a prolonged upturn to enter the league contest from here, as well as a significant boost in performance, and the possibility presents itself as seven out of their following ten league games versus clubs currently in the bottom half of the table. The risk is evident from Nottingham Forest, the single club to hand a loss at Anfield to the title holders in the last term, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's performance when facing long balls and fast breaks that will be under the spotlight. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to deliver for Liverpool. The big-money forward has not played in domestic action for a month having sustained a muscle issue when making his second start over a short period in the Champions League victory at Eintracht Frankfurt. Isak returned off the bench in the Swedish defeat to Switzerland but sat out the subsequent meaningless match with Slovenia to secure his readiness for the World Cup playoffs. A caution on Tuesday would have made him ineligible. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
