đź”— Share this article Premier League: 10 things to keep an eye on this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for a fresh encounter A Mancunian rematch could be in store as the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The winger is finding his feet at Stamford Bridge following his summer move from the Red Devils and displayed his skills versus Wolverhampton prior to the national team interval. His setup for Pedro Neto combined rapid acceleration and a perfect low cross. His creation for Malo Gusto required moving onto his right before lofting a delivery toward the far post. His goal reaction with Neto, echoing his earlier embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a testament of the pace with which things transform. The previous occasion Garnacho took on Walker? When the Argentine netted for United during their Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday 12.30pm (kick-offs GMT) The winger crucial to stopping Cherries' decline Antoine Semenyo is attracting the full rumour-mill attention amid a alleged ÂŁ65m buyout clause for his potential mid-season move, the gossip columns preparing him for advancement from the Premier League's average tier. This is predictable for a winger who has six goals plus three assists and remains joyous to watch. Still, Bournemouth find themselves in an tricky position, having undergone a form flip: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who arrive with consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have lost seven to one combined over their last two games following an strong beginning to the season. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the penalty spot by Emi MartĂnez during the heavy loss by Aston Villa however facing a defensive unit lacking a clean sheet for months could be the ideal remedy. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM Danny Welbeck an outside choice for the national team It was notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck multiple times during the national team window despite the fact that the Brighton attacker turns 35 next week. “Without even being familiar with him, I know what he can offer me,” commented the England manager. “He can be a reserve for Harry [Kane] in a quite orthodox centre-forward position.” Having won the final 42 caps several years ago, there is every chance that Welbeck could be selected to the World Cup assuming he is able to sustain his scoring exploits. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker boasts additional strikes compared to any English player in the top flight this term having six and remains anxious to boost that tally when Brighton welcome Brentford this weekend. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3pm The full-back needed as playmaker and finisher Sessegnon's story has offered a measure of positivity to Fulham's uneven opening. The 25-year-old, who came back to his youth team in 2024 following five challenging years at Tottenham, has become a first-team fixture, driving down the left flank with the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The concern? On two goals, he is their leading marksman this season together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their leading man the previous campaign, has bagged one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term because of a hamstring operation. Sessegnon is also having to step up as an assist provider replacing Robinson, who supplied ten setups last season. Fulham's next four matches feature three from the leading five and Crystal Palace, who have let in just nine scores in the Premier League this season. Trouble awaits for the club that have built a reputation for solidity in the central positions. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm The occasion for Isak to produce for the Reds The dispute about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal versus Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's inferiority in that game as they lost to their seventh loss in ten matches. Arne Slot's team need a prolonged upturn to force their way into the title race from this position, along with a dramatic upturn in results, and a chance arises as seven out of their next 10 top-flight fixtures against clubs currently in the bottom ten in the standings. The risk is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to deliver a defeat on their own turf on the champions the previous campaign, but it is not only Liverpool's showing against aerial passes and fast breaks that is under scrutiny. It is time for Alexander Isak to deliver wearing red. The expensive signing has been absent for his club over four weeks following a groin problem when making his second appearance in the lineup in four days in continental competition win in Germany. Isak returned off the bench during Sweden's loss to Switzerland but missed the subsequent inconsequential game against Slovenia to ensure his fitness for next year's World Cup playoffs.
