🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten key points to look out for this weekend 1. Garnacho and Walker ready for a fresh clash Another northwest showdown could be on the cards as Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The winger has started to settle at Stamford Bridge after his off-season signing from the Red Devils and displayed his talents versus Wolverhampton before the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed and a perfect grounded ball. His creation for Malo Gusto entailed cutting inside before lofting a ball toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, replicating his previous celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a testament of the pace with which circumstances change. The previous occasion Garnacho faced Walker? When the former found the net for United during their Wembley triumph against Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday half past twelve (kick-offs GMT) The winger key to stopping Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is receiving the full transfer speculation focus amid a claimed £65m release clause for his potential mid-season move, the gossip columns positioning him for advancement out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. That is to be expected for a wide player who has six goals and three setups and is delightful to watch. However, Bournemouth occupy an difficult position, having engaged in a role reversal: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who come in on successive wins, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven-one combined in their previous two matches after an strong opening to the campaign. Semenyo was denied from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in their heavy loss by Aston Villa but confronting a defensive unit lacking a goalless game since August may prove the perfect tonic. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday three o'clock The striker a surprise shout for the Three Lions It was intriguing to hear Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion throughout the national team window despite the fact that the Brighton forward celebrates 35 soon. “Even without having met him, I understand what he could offer me,” said the England coach. “He could serve as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] as a quite conventional striker role.” Gaining the last of his 42 international appearances back in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck could be on the plane for the World Cup provided he manages to continue his goal-getting performances. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has additional strikes over every other English footballer in England's top division this season having six and is anxious to add to that total as Brighton entertain Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday three o'clock Ryan Sessegnon required as assist provider and goalscorer Sessegnon's story has provided a measure of warmth to Fulham's inconsistent beginning. The left-sided player, who returned to his boyhood club last year after five difficult years in north London, is now a regular starter, operating on the left flank in the absence of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The concern? With two goals, he is their joint-top scorer in the Premier League together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their top scorer last season, has netted one goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out for an extended period because of hamstring surgery. Sessegnon must also having to step up as an assist provider replacing Robinson, who registered ten setups in the previous campaign. Fulham's following four games include three of the top five and Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine strikes in the Premier League so far. Trouble awaits for the club that have built a reputation for mid-table stability. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday 3pm The occasion for The striker to produce for the Merseyside club The controversy regarding Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal in the match with Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's deficiencies during the match as they succumbed to loss number seven in ten matches. Arne Slot's squad must have a sustained recovery to force their way into the championship chase from their current spot, along with a significant boost in performance, and a chance presents itself as seven of their next 10 league games against teams currently in the lower half in the standings. The threat is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to deliver a defeat on their own turf to Liverpool last season, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's display versus long balls and fast breaks that will be under scrutiny. It is time for Alexander Isak to show up for Liverpool. The big-money forward has not featured at club level for a month having sustained a muscle issue during his second start over a short period in Europe triumph abroad. He reappeared as a substitute during Sweden's reverse against Switzerland but was rested the midweek dead rubber versus Slovenia to ensure his readiness for the World Cup playoffs. A yellow card during the game would have made him ineligible. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
