🔗 Share this article Premier League: 10 things to look out for this matchday Garnacho versus Walker ready for another battle A Manchester reunion may be on the cards as the Clarets' Kyle Walker faces the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The wide man has started to settle at Stamford Bridge following his off-season signing from Manchester United and demonstrated his talents in the Wolves match prior to the international break. His setup for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed with a ideal low cross. His creation for Malo Gusto entailed shifting infield before chipping a delivery toward the far post. His goal reaction with Neto, replicating his prior embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a reminder of the pace with which circumstances change. The previous occasion Garnacho encountered Walker? When the former netted for United in their cup final win against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (kick-offs GMT) Antoine Semenyo crucial to ending Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is attracting the complete gossip column focus due to a reported £65m release clause for his possible January departure, the gossip columns positioning him for graduation out of the Premier League's average tier. It is understandable from a attacker who has a half-dozen strikes and three assists who is joyous to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth are in an difficult spot, having engaged in a role reversal: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who enter on consecutive triumphs, whereas Bournemouth have lost seven-one on aggregate over their last two matches after an impressive beginning to the season. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez during the heavy loss by Aston Villa however facing a defence without a goalless game for months may prove the perfect solution. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm Danny Welbeck an outside option for the Three Lions It was notable to hear Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck multiple times during the national team window despite the fact that the Brighton striker reaches 35 soon. “Despite not having met him, I am aware what he is able to provide,” stated the England boss. “He can be a reserve for Harry [Kane] playing a quite orthodox centre-forward role.” Gaining the final 42 caps several years ago, it's entirely possible that Welbeck could be on the plane to the World Cup provided he manages to maintain his goalscoring exploits. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has more goals than any other English footballer in the Premier League this term with six and will be anxious to increase that tally when Brighton host Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3pm Ryan Sessegnon needed as assist provider and scorer Sessegnon's story has brought some positivity to Fulham's bumpy beginning. The former Tottenham man, who came back to his boyhood club in 2024 following five difficult years with Spurs, is now a regular starter, pushing forward on the left due to the injury of the injured Antonee Robinson. The concern? On two goals, he is their top goalscorer this season together with Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their top scorer the previous campaign, has netted once while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for an extended period due to a surgical procedure. Additionally, Sessegnon needing to deliver as an assist provider in place of Robinson, who provided ten setups last time round. The Cottagers' following four matches feature three of the leading five and Crystal Palace, who have let in only nine strikes this season to date. Trouble awaits for a team that have built a name for mid-table stability. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm The occasion for Isak to perform for the Reds The dispute surrounding Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal against Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's inferiority during the match as they succumbed to a seventh defeat in ten matches. The coach's squad require a prolonged upturn to force their way into the championship chase from their current spot, as well as a major boost in performance, and a chance arises with seven out of their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures versus teams currently in the bottom ten in the standings. The threat is evident from Nottingham Forest, the only team to hand a loss at Anfield to the title holders in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's performance when facing long balls and counterattacks that is under scrutiny. Now is the occasion for Alexander Isak to deliver for Liverpool. The big-money forward has not featured at club level over four weeks having sustained a muscle issue when making his second appearance in the lineup in four days in the Champions League triumph abroad. He reappeared from the bench in Sweden's loss against Switzerland but sat out the midweek dead rubber with Slovenia to secure his availability for the upcoming World Cup knockout rounds.
