🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten key points to keep an eye on this round of fixtures Garnacho versus Walker poised for a fresh clash Another northwest showdown could be in store when Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The winger has started to settle at Stamford Bridge after his off-season signing from Old Trafford and displayed his skills against Wolves before the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto combined electric speed and a flawless low cross. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right prior to lofting a delivery toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, echoing his prior embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a indication of the pace with which things transform. The last time Garnacho took on Walker? When the Argentine netted for United during their Wembley triumph against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon half past twelve (start times GMT) The winger crucial to halting Bournemouth's decline Antoine Semenyo is getting the complete transfer speculation treatment following a reported £65m release clause for his prospective winter exit, the tabloids positioning him for graduation from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. That is to be expected from a winger who has six finishes and three setups who is joyous to watch. However, his team occupy an awkward spot, having engaged in a role reversal: now it's the bottom-half team West Ham who come in on consecutive triumphs, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten 7-1 on aggregate in their last two matches after an strong beginning to the campaign. Semenyo had his effort saved from the spot by Emi Martínez in their heavy loss to Aston Villa but taking on a backline that hasn't kept a clean sheet since August could be the perfect solution. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM Danny Welbeck a left-field choice for the Three Lions It was interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck multiple times during the national team window even though the Brighton attacker turns 35 next week. “Even without being familiar with him, I am aware what he is able to provide,” stated the England coach. “He can be a stand-in for Harry [Kane] in a very traditional striker role.” Earning the final 42 international appearances several years ago, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be selected for the World Cup assuming he can continue his scoring feats. The former Manchester United and Arsenal forward can claim more goals compared to any English player in England's top division this season on six and remains anxious to increase that total as Brighton host Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon needed as creator and goalscorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has offered a measure of positivity to Fulham's inconsistent start. The former Tottenham man, who returned to his former side last year after five difficult years in north London, is now a first-team fixture, operating on the left with the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The issue? On two goals, he's also their joint-top scorer in the league together with Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their top scorer last season, has bagged once while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term due to a hamstring operation. Sessegnon is also having to step up as an assist provider replacing Robinson, who registered 10 assists in the previous campaign. Fulham's following four games include three among the top five plus Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine strikes this season so far. Trouble awaits for a side that have built a name for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The occasion for Isak to deliver for the Merseyside club The debate about Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort in the match with Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's deficiencies 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 championship chase from their current spot, plus a dramatic boost in performance, and opportunity arises with seven out of their next 10 top-flight fixtures against sides at the moment in the bottom ten of the table. The danger is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the sole side to inflict a defeat on their own turf to the title holders last season, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's performance versus aerial passes and quick transitions that will be under the spotlight. The moment has come for Alexander Isak to show up wearing red. The expensive signing has been absent for his club in a month after picking up a groin injury during his second start over a short period in the Champions League win abroad. He reappeared from the bench in the Swedish defeat against Switzerland but sat out the subsequent inconsequential game against Slovenia to secure his availability for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. A yellow card on Tuesday might have suspended him. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
