🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten highlights to watch for this matchday Garnacho versus Walker ready for a fresh encounter A Manchester reunion might be in store when the Clarets' Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The wide man is finding his feet with Chelsea following his close-season transfer from Old Trafford and demonstrated his talents in the Wolves match before the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto blended electric speed and a ideal along-the-deck delivery. His contribution for Malo Gusto entailed shifting infield before dinking a ball across the goalmouth. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his earlier hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a indication of the pace with which circumstances change. The last time Garnacho faced Walker? During the youngster netted for United in the Wembley triumph against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (start times GMT) 2. Semenyo key to ending Cherries' decline Antoine Semenyo is getting the complete rumour-mill treatment following a reported £65m escape clause for a potential mid-season move, the tabloids setting him up for graduation out of the Premier League's average tier. It is understandable from a winger with six goals plus three helpers and remains pleasurable to watch. However, Bournemouth occupy an difficult position, having engaged in a body swap: now it's the bottom-half team West Ham who arrive with consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have been beaten 7-1 combined over their last two games following an promising start to the campaign. Semenyo was denied from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in their 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa but confronting a defence that hasn't kept a goalless game in the league since the start of the season may prove the best remedy. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM The striker a surprise choice for the national team It proved interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the fixture pause despite the fact that the Brighton striker turns 35 soon. “Without even having met him, I am aware what he is able to give me,” said the England coach. “He can be a back-up for Harry [Kane] playing a quite orthodox No 9 position.” Having won the final 42 caps several years ago, it's quite plausible that Welbeck might be in the squad to the World Cup assuming he manages to sustain his goal-getting performances. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal forward has additional strikes over every other English performer in the Premier League this term on six and remains eager to boost that tally when Brighton entertain Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock 4. Sessegnon needed as creator and goalscorer Sessegnon's story has provided some warmth to Fulham's uneven beginning. The 25-year-old, who returned to his former side in 2024 following five tough years in north London, has become a regular starter, operating on the left side in the absence of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The issue? With two goals, he's also their leading marksman this season alongside Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their top scorer the previous campaign, has bagged one goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for the long term because of a surgical procedure. Additionally, Sessegnon having to step up in a creative role instead of Robinson, who supplied 10 assists in the previous campaign. Fulham's upcoming four fixtures feature three of the best five as well as Crystal Palace, who have let in just nine strikes in the Premier League so far. A threat emerges for the club that have developed a name for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm The moment for Alexander Isak to perform for Liverpool The dispute surrounding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike against Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's inferiority on the day as they fell to their seventh loss in ten matches. Arne Slot's team must have a sustained recovery to force their way into the title race from here, as well as a significant boost in performance, and the possibility emerges with seven from their next 10 top-flight fixtures against teams currently in the bottom half in the standings. The danger is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to hand a home league defeat to the title holders in the last term, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's showing when facing long balls and counterattacks that will be under the spotlight. The moment has come for Alexander Isak to perform wearing red. The expensive signing has not played for his club over four weeks after picking up a groin injury during his second start in four days in Europe victory at Eintracht Frankfurt. The striker came back from the bench in Sweden's defeat against Switzerland but missed the midweek dead rubber against Slovenia to guarantee his availability for the World Cup playoffs. A booking during the game could have made him ineligible. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
