🔗 Share this article Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend Walker faces Garnacho ready for another battle Another northwest showdown might be in the offing as Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The winger has started to settle at Stamford Bridge following his off-season signing from Old Trafford and displayed his skills versus Wolverhampton before the national team interval. His assist for Pedro Neto combined blistering pace and a flawless along-the-deck delivery. His creation for Malo Gusto entailed cutting inside prior to dinking a cross to the back post. His goal reaction with Neto, echoing his prior embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a indication of the speed at which things transform. The previous occasion Garnacho encountered Walker? Back when the Argentine netted for United in their Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12.30pm (start times GMT) The winger crucial to halting Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is getting the full gossip column focus following a claimed £65m buyout clause for his potential winter exit, the gossip columns positioning him for promotion from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. That is predictable for a winger with six finishes and three helpers who is delightful to watch. Nonetheless, his team are in an tricky position, having undergone a body swap: it is the struggling side West Ham who come in on consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have lost seven to one on aggregate over their previous two fixtures after an impressive start to the season. Semenyo was denied on the penalty by Emi Martínez in the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa yet facing a defensive unit without a goalless game in the league since the start of the season could be the perfect tonic. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday 3pm The striker a left-field option for England It seemed intriguing to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck multiple times during the national team window although the Brighton attacker turns 35 soon. “Without even being familiar with him, I am aware what he could provide,” said the England manager. “He could serve as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] in a quite traditional striker position.” Gaining the most recent of his 42 caps several years ago, it's entirely possible that Welbeck might be on the plane to the World Cup provided he manages to maintain his goal-getting exploits. The former Manchester United and Arsenal forward has more goals than any other English performer in the Premier League this campaign having six and remains eager to add to that tally when Brighton host Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon required as creator and goalscorer Sessegnon's story has offered some warmth to Fulham's inconsistent beginning. The 25-year-old, who returned to his boyhood club in 2024 after five tough years at Tottenham, has become a regular starter, driving down the left side with the injured Antonee Robinson. The worry? On two goals, he is their top goalscorer this season as well as Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their primary attacker last season, has scored a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out for an extended period because of hamstring surgery. Additionally, Sessegnon having to step up as a creator instead of Robinson, who provided ten helpers in the previous campaign. Fulham's next four matches feature three of the best five as well as Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine goals this season to date. Danger looms for the club that have built a reputation for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday 3:00 PM The moment for Alexander Isak to produce for the Merseyside club The debate surrounding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike in the match with Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's inferiority during the match as they lost to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. The manager's team require a prolonged upturn to force their way into the title race from their current spot, as well as a major upturn in results, and the possibility arises with seven out of their following ten top-flight fixtures against teams currently 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 the title holders in the last term, but it is not only Liverpool's showing against long balls and fast breaks that will be in focus. It is time for Alexander Isak to perform wearing red. The £125m striker has been absent in domestic action for a month following a groin problem while his second consecutive start in four days in continental competition victory in Germany. The striker came back as a substitute in Sweden's reverse by Switzerland but sat out the subsequent dead rubber with Slovenia to ensure his availability for the upcoming World Cup playoffs. A yellow card on Tuesday would have ruled him out. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
