🔗 Share this article Premier League: 10 things to keep an eye on this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker ready for a new encounter Another northwest showdown may be in store when Burnley's Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The winger is finding his feet in west London following his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and displayed his talents versus Wolverhampton prior to the international break. His assist for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed and a perfect along-the-deck delivery. His contribution for Malo Gusto entailed cutting inside prior to dinking a cross to the back post. His joyous moment with Neto, replicating his earlier embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a indication of the pace with which things transform. The most recent instance Garnacho took on Walker? Back when the former scored for United in the Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (start times GMT) Antoine Semenyo vital to ending Bournemouth's decline Antoine Semenyo is receiving the entire transfer speculation focus amid a claimed £65m buyout clause for his prospective January departure, the tabloids setting him up for graduation from the Premier League's average tier. This is understandable for a wide player who has six finishes and three assists who is joyous to watch. However, Bournemouth occupy an awkward situation, experiencing a form flip: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who enter with successive wins, while Bournemouth have been beaten 7-1 combined over their past two fixtures following an promising beginning to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved on the penalty by Emi Martínez during the heavy loss by Aston Villa but facing a backline lacking a clean sheet for months could be the best tonic. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm The striker a surprise option for the national team It seemed interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck multiple times throughout the national team window although the Brighton attacker celebrates 35 soon. “Without even knowing him, I know what he can offer me,” stated the England manager. “He could serve as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] as a quite conventional centre-forward position.” Earning the final 42 caps back in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck may be on the plane to the World Cup provided he manages to continue his scoring performances. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal forward has additional strikes compared to any English player in England's top division this season on six and remains eager to boost that count when Brighton host Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock Ryan Sessegnon crucial as playmaker and finisher Sessegnon's story has provided some positivity to Fulham's uneven beginning. The former Tottenham man, who rejoined his boyhood club in 2024 following five difficult years with Spurs, is now a consistent pick, pushing forward on the left side in the absence of the injured Antonee Robinson. The concern? Having scored twice, he remains their joint-top scorer this season as well as Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their leading man the previous campaign, has netted once whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out for an extended period owing to a hamstring operation. Sessegnon must also having to step up in a creative role replacing Robinson, who supplied ten helpers last season. The Cottagers' next four games take in three among the leading five plus Crystal Palace, who have allowed merely nine strikes this season to date. Danger looms for a team that have earned a standing for consistency in the middle.

The manager's side require a prolonged upturn to enter the league contest from here, as well as a significant upturn in results, and a chance presents itself with seven of their following ten Premier League matches facing clubs at the moment in the lower half in the league. The threat is clear from Nottingham Forest, the only team to deliver a defeat on their own turf to the title holders in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's display versus long balls and counterattacks that remains under scrutiny. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to deliver in a Liverpool shirt. The £125m striker has not played for his club in a month following a groin problem while his second appearance in the lineup in quick succession in continental competition triumph abroad. He reappeared off the bench in the Swedish loss by Switzerland but was rested the midweek dead rubber against Slovenia to guarantee his availability for next year's World Cup qualifiers.
