🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten highlights to look out for this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for a fresh encounter A Mancunian rematch could be in the offing when the Clarets' Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The wide man is adapting well at Stamford Bridge following his summer move from Old Trafford and demonstrated his abilities in the Wolves match prior to the international break. His assist for Pedro Neto mixed rapid acceleration with a flawless low cross. His build-up for Malo Gusto entailed moving onto his right prior to lofting a ball toward the far post. His goal reaction with Neto, mirroring his earlier celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a testament of the pace with which things transform. The last time Garnacho faced Walker? During the Argentine scored for United in the cup final win against Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (all times GMT) 2. Semenyo crucial to ending Cherries' slump Antoine Semenyo is attracting the full gossip column treatment amid a claimed £65m buyout clause for a possible winter exit, the gossip columns setting him up for promotion out of the Premier League's average tier. It is understandable for a winger who has a half-dozen strikes and three assists and remains pleasurable to watch. However, his side occupy an awkward position, having undergone a form flip: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who enter with back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have lost 7-1 on aggregate over their last two matches following an promising start to the campaign. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in their four-nil loss to Aston Villa however taking on a backline without a clean sheet for months could be the perfect remedy. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday 3pm 3. Welbeck a left-field choice for the national team It seemed interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the fixture pause even though the Brighton forward reaches 35 in the coming days. “Without even knowing him, I am aware what he can give me,” said the England boss. “He can be a stand-in for Harry [Kane] playing a very orthodox No 9 position.” Gaining the final 42 England games in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be in the squad for the World Cup assuming he is able to maintain his scoring exploits. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal forward boasts additional strikes over every other English performer in England's top division this campaign on six and is eager to add to that count as Brighton host Brentford on Saturday. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock Ryan Sessegnon needed as assist provider and scorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has offered a measure of positivity to Fulham's inconsistent beginning. The former Tottenham man, who returned to his youth team in 2024 following five tough years in north London, has emerged as a first-team fixture, pushing forward on the left side with the injured Antonee Robinson. The concern? On two goals, he is their leading marksman this season alongside Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their primary attacker the previous campaign, has scored one goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out for the long term due to a hamstring operation. Sessegnon is also having to step up as a creator replacing Robinson, who provided ten setups in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' following four games include three among the best five plus Crystal Palace, who have let in just nine goals in the league so far. A threat emerges for the club that have developed a reputation for solidity in the central positions. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday 3pm 5. Time for Isak to perform for the Reds The controversy regarding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort versus Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's shortcomings on the day as they lost to their seventh loss in 10 games. The coach's side require a sustained recovery to enter the league contest from their current spot, as well as a major upturn in results, and a chance presents itself as seven of their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures facing teams at the moment in the lower half in the standings. The danger is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to deliver a loss at Anfield to Liverpool in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's performance against long balls and quick transitions that remains under the spotlight. The moment has come for Alexander Isak to show up for Liverpool. The expensive signing has not featured at club level over four weeks after picking up a muscle issue during his second consecutive start in four days in continental competition win in Germany. He reappeared as a substitute in Sweden's reverse by Switzerland but missed the subsequent dead rubber versus Slovenia to secure his availability for the World Cup qualifiers. A booking on Tuesday could have ruled him out. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
