đź”— Share this article Premier division: ten key points to look out for this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for a new battle Another northwest showdown may be on the cards as Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The winger is adapting well with Chelsea following his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and showcased his talents in the Wolves match prior to the international break. His setup for Pedro Neto blended rapid acceleration and a flawless low cross. His contribution for Malo Gusto required shifting infield prior to lofting a ball across the goalmouth. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his prior celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a indication of the pace with which things transform. The last time Garnacho encountered Walker? Back when the former found the net for United during their FA Cup final victory against Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12.30pm (kick-offs GMT) Antoine Semenyo key to halting Cherries' slump Antoine Semenyo is receiving the complete gossip column treatment amid a claimed ÂŁ65m buyout clause for his potential mid-season move, the gossip columns preparing him for graduation from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. That is predictable for a winger who has a half-dozen strikes and three setups and is pleasurable to watch. However, his team are in an difficult spot, having undergone a body swap: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who come in with successive wins, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven-one over two games in their previous two fixtures after an impressive opening to the season. Semenyo was denied from the spot by Emi MartĂnez during the four-nil loss by Aston Villa but confronting a backline without a shutout for months may prove the ideal tonic. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday three o'clock The striker a surprise choice for England It was notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the fixture pause despite the fact that the Brighton forward celebrates 35 next week. “Without even being familiar with him, I am aware what he is able to give me,” commented the England boss. “He can be a back-up for Harry [Kane] in a very orthodox No 9 role.” Earning the last of his 42 international appearances several years ago, there is every chance that Welbeck could be selected to the World Cup assuming he is able to sustain his goal-getting exploits. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker has a greater tally than any other English performer in the top flight this term on six and will be anxious to add to that total as Brighton host Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock Ryan Sessegnon crucial as playmaker and goalscorer The Ryan Sessegnon tale has offered a degree of positivity to Fulham's inconsistent opening. The 25-year-old, who rejoined his former side recently after five difficult years at Tottenham, has become a regular starter, driving down the left side in the absence of the injured Antonee Robinson. The concern? On two goals, he's also their leading marksman in the league as well as Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their top scorer last season, has netted one goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is injured for an extended period due to a hamstring operation. Additionally, Sessegnon needing to deliver in a creative role instead of Robinson, who supplied ten setups last time round. Fulham's upcoming four matches take in three among the leading five plus Crystal Palace, who have let in just nine goals in the league so far. A threat emerges for a team that have developed a reputation for consistency in the middle. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday 3:00 PM 5. Time for Isak to produce for the Reds The dispute about Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike against Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's inferiority on the day as they succumbed to their seventh loss over ten fixtures. The coach's squad need a consistent improvement to enter the championship chase from this position, as well as a dramatic improvement in form, and the possibility emerges as seven of their following ten league games facing teams presently in the lower half in the league. The risk is obvious posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to hand a loss at Anfield to the title holders in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's showing against long balls and quick transitions that will be in focus. It is time for Alexander Isak to deliver in a Liverpool shirt. The big-money forward has been absent in domestic action over four weeks following a muscle issue during his second start in quick succession in continental competition triumph abroad. The striker came back off the bench in Sweden's reverse to Switzerland but missed the midweek meaningless match with Slovenia to ensure his fitness for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. A booking during the game might have made him ineligible. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
