🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten key points to watch for this matchday Walker faces Garnacho set for a fresh battle Another northwest showdown might be in store as the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The attacker is finding his feet with Chelsea following his close-season transfer from Old Trafford and displayed his talents in the Wolves match prior to the fixture pause. His key pass for Pedro Neto combined electric speed with a perfect grounded ball. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right before lofting a delivery to the back post. His goal reaction with Neto, echoing his prior celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a reminder of the speed at which things transform. The last time Garnacho encountered Walker? Back when the former scored for United in the cup final win over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (kick-offs GMT) 2. Semenyo vital to ending Cherries' decline Antoine Semenyo is receiving the complete gossip column focus following a claimed £65m escape clause for his prospective January departure, the gossip columns positioning him for promotion out of the Premier League's average tier. It is predictable from a attacker who has six finishes plus three helpers who is joyous to watch. Still, Bournemouth find themselves in an awkward position, having engaged in a body swap: now it's the bottom-half team West Ham who arrive on back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven-one on aggregate over their previous two games following an impressive beginning to the campaign. Semenyo was denied from the spot by Emi Martínez in their 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa yet taking on a defence lacking a clean sheet in the league since the start of the season may prove the best solution. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm Danny Welbeck a left-field shout for the Three Lions It seemed intriguing to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck multiple times during the fixture pause although the Brighton attacker reaches 35 soon. “Even without having met him, I know what he can give me,” commented the England coach. “He could serve as a back-up for Harry [Kane] playing a quite conventional centre-forward role.” Having won the most recent of his 42 international appearances in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck may be selected to the World Cup assuming he manages to maintain his goalscoring performances. The former Manchester United and Arsenal attacker can claim a greater tally compared to any English performer in the Premier League this campaign on six and remains anxious to boost that count when Brighton entertain Brentford this weekend. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3pm Ryan Sessegnon required as creator and scorer The Ryan Sessegnon tale has offered a degree of comfort to Fulham's inconsistent start. The former Tottenham man, who came back to his boyhood club recently after five challenging years at Tottenham, has become a consistent pick, driving down the left with the injured Antonee Robinson. The worry? With two goals, he remains their leading marksman in the Premier League alongside Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their leading man last season, has scored a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is out for the long term because of a hamstring operation. Sessegnon must also being required to contribute in a creative role instead of Robinson, who supplied 10 assists in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' following four fixtures include three of the top five and Crystal Palace, who have let in just nine scores this season this season. Trouble awaits for the club that have built a reputation for consistency in the middle. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday 3:00 PM The moment for Isak to deliver for Liverpool The debate about Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort versus Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's shortcomings on the day as they fell to loss number seven in ten matches. Arne Slot's squad must have a prolonged upturn to force their way into the league contest from this position, plus a dramatic upturn in results, and a chance emerges as seven out of their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures against teams presently in the lower half of the table. The threat is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the sole side to deliver a defeat on their own turf on the champions last season, but it is not only Liverpool's display against aerial passes and quick transitions that remains under the spotlight. The moment has come for Alexander Isak to deliver in a Liverpool shirt. The £125m striker has not played for his club in a month following a muscle issue during his second appearance in the lineup in four days in continental competition triumph abroad. The striker came back as a substitute in Sweden's reverse against Switzerland but sat out the midweek meaningless match with Slovenia to guarantee his readiness for the World Cup qualifiers. A yellow card during the game might have suspended him. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
