🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten key points to keep an eye on this round of fixtures Garnacho versus Walker set for another encounter Another northwest showdown could be in store as Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The wide man has started to settle with Chelsea following his off-season signing from Manchester United and demonstrated his talents against Wolves prior to the national team interval. His assist for Pedro Neto combined blistering pace and a flawless low cross. His contribution for Malo Gusto required cutting inside before dinking a cross across the goalmouth. His goal reaction with Neto, mirroring his earlier hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a reminder of the pace with which circumstances change. The last time Garnacho faced Walker? During the Argentine netted for United in their cup final win over Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday afternoon half past twelve (kick-offs GMT) The winger crucial to stopping Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is getting the full gossip column focus following a reported £65m buyout clause for a possible January departure, the tabloids preparing him for advancement from the Premier League's average tier. That is predictable from a winger who has six goals plus three assists who is delightful to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth occupy an awkward spot, having engaged in a body swap: now it's the bottom-half team West Ham who come in with back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have lost seven to one over two games over their previous two fixtures after an promising start to the campaign. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in the heavy loss to Aston Villa yet taking on a backline that hasn't kept a shutout since August could be the perfect tonic. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM Danny Welbeck a surprise choice for the Three Lions It was notable to hear Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck repeatedly throughout the international break even though the Brighton striker turns 35 in the coming days. “Despite not being familiar with him, I am aware what he can give me,” stated the England manager. “He might act as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] as a very traditional centre-forward role.” Earning the most recent of his 42 England games in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be in the squad to the World Cup provided he is able to continue his goal-getting performances. The former Manchester United and Arsenal attacker boasts additional strikes compared to any English performer in the Premier League this season having six and remains keen to add to that count as Brighton host Brentford on Saturday. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday three o'clock Ryan Sessegnon required as assist provider and finisher The Ryan Sessegnon tale has provided a degree of comfort to Fulham's bumpy opening. The left-sided player, who returned to his boyhood club recently following five challenging years in north London, has emerged as a regular starter, driving down the left side in the absence of the injured Antonee Robinson. The concern? On two goals, he is their joint-top scorer in the Premier League alongside Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their top scorer in the last term, has bagged once whereas Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for an extended period because of hamstring surgery. Sessegnon must also having to step up as a creator replacing Robinson, who provided ten setups last time round. The Cottagers' next four games feature three of the top five as well as Crystal Palace, who have allowed merely nine strikes in the Premier League to date. Danger looms for a side that have developed a reputation for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The occasion for The striker to deliver for the Merseyside club The controversy surrounding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort against Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's inferiority in that game as they succumbed to their seventh loss in ten matches. The manager's squad must have a consistent improvement to muscle into the league contest from their current spot, plus a dramatic upturn in results, and a chance emerges with seven of their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures against sides currently in the bottom ten of the table. The risk is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the only team to inflict a home league defeat on the champions last season, however it's not just Liverpool's performance versus aerial passes and fast breaks that will be under scrutiny. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to perform in a Liverpool shirt. The big-money forward has been absent at club level over four weeks following a groin injury while his second appearance in the lineup over a short period in the Champions League triumph in Germany. The striker came back as a substitute in Sweden's reverse by Switzerland but sat out the midweek inconsequential game versus Slovenia to secure his readiness for the upcoming World Cup playoffs. A yellow card on Tuesday might have ruled him out. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
