đź”— Share this article Premier League: 10 things to watch for this matchday Walker faces Garnacho set for a fresh battle Another northwest showdown might be in the offing when the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The attacker is adapting well in west London following his close-season transfer from Manchester United and demonstrated his abilities versus Wolverhampton before the international break. His assist for Pedro Neto combined blistering pace and a ideal grounded ball. His creation for Malo Gusto involved cutting inside before dinking a ball across the goalmouth. His goal reaction with Neto, mirroring his previous celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a testament of the pace with which situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho faced Walker? During the Argentine netted for United in the Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon half past twelve (start times GMT) 2. Semenyo key to halting Bournemouth's slump Antoine Semenyo is getting the entire transfer speculation attention due to a alleged ÂŁ65m buyout clause for a prospective January departure, the media setting him up for advancement out of the Premier League's average tier. This is understandable from a attacker with a half-dozen strikes plus three assists and remains joyous to watch. Still, his team find themselves in an awkward situation, having undergone a body swap: now it's the bottom-half team West Ham who enter with back-to-back victories, while Bournemouth have lost 7-1 over two games in their past two fixtures after an impressive start to the campaign. Semenyo was denied from the spot by Emi MartĂnez during the heavy loss to Aston Villa but taking on a defence lacking a shutout for months could be the ideal remedy. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday 3pm 3. Welbeck an outside shout for the Three Lions It proved intriguing to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the fixture pause although the Brighton attacker reaches 35 next week. “Even without knowing him, I am aware what he can offer me,” stated the England boss. “He can be a reserve for Harry [Kane] as a very conventional striker role.” Earning the most recent of his 42 caps several years ago, it's quite plausible that Welbeck could be in the squad to the World Cup provided he is able to maintain his goal-getting performances. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has more goals compared to any English player in the top flight this term having six and remains eager to boost that total as Brighton entertain Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3pm Ryan Sessegnon needed as creator and scorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has offered a measure of comfort to Fulham's uneven beginning. The left-sided player, who returned to his youth team recently after five challenging years at Tottenham, is now a regular starter, driving down the left due to the injury of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The concern? On two goals, he remains their leading marksman in the league together with Harry Wilson. RaĂşl JimĂ©nez, their primary attacker in the last term, has scored a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for the long term owing to hamstring surgery. Sessegnon is also needing to deliver in a creative role replacing Robinson, who registered ten setups last season. Fulham's upcoming four matches take in three from the best five as well as Crystal Palace, who have allowed just nine scores in the league so far. Danger looms for a side that have built a name for solidity in the central positions. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday three o'clock The moment for Alexander Isak to perform for the Reds The controversy regarding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike versus Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's inferiority in that game as they lost to their seventh loss in ten matches. The manager's team require a consistent improvement to enter the championship chase from their current spot, as well as a dramatic boost in performance, and the possibility arises as seven out of their next 10 Premier League matches facing sides presently in the bottom ten of the table. The risk is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to hand a defeat on their own turf to the title holders in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's performance against long balls and fast breaks that remains in focus. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to perform for Liverpool. The big-money forward has not featured at club level in a month having sustained a groin injury during his second appearance in the lineup in quick succession in continental competition triumph in Germany. Isak returned from the bench in Sweden's defeat to Switzerland but sat out the subsequent meaningless match against Slovenia to guarantee his readiness for next year's World Cup playoffs. A caution during the game might have made him ineligible. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
