🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten key points to keep an eye on this round of fixtures Walker faces Garnacho ready for a new battle Another northwest showdown may be on the cards as the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The winger is adapting well in west London after his summer move from Old Trafford and demonstrated his talents against Wolves before the fixture pause. His assist for Pedro Neto combined blistering pace with a ideal along-the-deck delivery. His contribution for Malo Gusto required cutting inside prior to chipping a ball toward the far post. His goal reaction with Neto, mirroring his prior embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a indication of the pace with which situations evolve. The most recent instance Garnacho took on Walker? Back when the youngster found the net for United in their FA Cup final victory against Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (all times GMT) Antoine Semenyo key to stopping Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is receiving the full transfer speculation focus following a claimed £65m release clause for a possible January departure, the media positioning him for graduation out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. This is understandable for a attacker with a half-dozen strikes and three setups and remains pleasurable to watch. Nonetheless, his team are in an awkward situation, having engaged in a form flip: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who arrive with back-to-back victories, while Bournemouth are down 7-1 on aggregate in their last two games following an strong start to the campaign. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in their 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa however confronting a defence that hasn't kept a clean sheet for months could be the ideal solution. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM The striker a left-field option for the national team It seemed interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck multiple times throughout the national team window even though the Brighton striker celebrates 35 next week. “Despite not being familiar with him, I am aware what he can offer me,” said the England boss. “He can be a stand-in for Harry [Kane] in a quite traditional striker position.” Earning the final 42 caps back in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck might be on the plane for the World Cup if he can continue his goalscoring performances. The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker has more goals compared to any English footballer in the top flight this term having six and will be keen to add to that total as Brighton host Brentford this weekend. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3pm The full-back required as playmaker and scorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has provided some comfort to Fulham's inconsistent beginning. The former Tottenham man, who returned to his former side last year after five tough years at Tottenham, has become a first-team fixture, operating on the left flank with the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The concern? Having scored twice, he's also their joint-top scorer in the Premier League alongside Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their leading man in the last term, has netted once whereas Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for an extended period due to a hamstring operation. Sessegnon must also needing to deliver as a creator in place of Robinson, who registered ten setups last season. The Cottagers' next four fixtures include three of the leading five plus Crystal Palace, who have allowed only nine goals this season this season. Trouble awaits for the club that have earned a reputation for mid-table stability. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday three o'clock The moment for Isak to perform for the Merseyside club The dispute surrounding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort versus Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they succumbed to loss number seven over ten fixtures. Arne Slot's team require a prolonged upturn to muscle into the title race from here, as well as a significant upturn in results, and opportunity arises with seven of their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures against clubs currently in the lower half of the table. The risk is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the sole side to deliver a defeat on their own turf to the title holders in the last term, but it is not only Liverpool's performance when facing aerial passes and counterattacks that is in focus. Now is the occasion for Alexander Isak to perform in a Liverpool shirt. The £125m striker has not featured for his club in a month following a muscle issue when making his second appearance in the lineup in quick succession in the Champions League win abroad. The striker came back from the bench in Sweden's loss against Switzerland but was rested the subsequent meaningless match versus Slovenia to guarantee his fitness for next year's World Cup knockout rounds. A caution during the game might have made him ineligible. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
