🔗 Share this article Premier League: 10 things to look out for this round of fixtures Garnacho versus Walker poised for a new clash Another northwest showdown might be in the offing when the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The attacker is adapting well with Chelsea after his summer move from Manchester United and showcased his talents versus Wolverhampton before the national team interval. His key pass for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed with a flawless low cross. His contribution for Malo Gusto required shifting infield prior to lofting a ball across the goalmouth. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his prior embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a reminder of the pace with which situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho encountered Walker? Back when the youngster found the net for United in their cup final win over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday 12.30pm (all times GMT) Antoine Semenyo crucial to stopping Cherries' slump Antoine Semenyo is attracting the entire transfer speculation treatment amid a claimed £65m escape clause for a potential January departure, the tabloids setting him up for graduation from the Premier League's average tier. That is understandable for a wide player with six finishes plus three helpers who is delightful to watch. However, Bournemouth find themselves in an awkward situation, having engaged in a body swap: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who arrive on consecutive triumphs, whereas Bournemouth have lost seven to one combined in their past two fixtures after an strong beginning to the season. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the spot by Emi Martínez in their 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa but confronting a backline lacking a clean sheet since August might be the best solution. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM Danny Welbeck a left-field shout for the national team It was intriguing to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the national team window despite the fact that the Brighton attacker reaches 35 next week. “Without even having met him, I know what he is able to give me,” said the England boss. “He can be a stand-in for Harry [Kane] in a quite orthodox centre-forward position.” Gaining the last of his 42 England games back in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck may be on the plane for the World Cup if he manages to sustain his goalscoring feats. The former Manchester United and Arsenal forward can claim additional strikes over every other English player in the top flight this campaign having six and remains eager to boost that total as Brighton host Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon crucial as creator and finisher Sessegnon's story has provided some positivity to Fulham's inconsistent start. The former Tottenham man, who returned to his boyhood club in 2024 following five tough years with Spurs, has emerged as a consistent pick, operating on the left due to the injury of the injured Antonee Robinson. The issue? Having scored twice, he's also their leading marksman this season alongside Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their primary attacker in the last term, has bagged one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable until 2026 due to hamstring surgery. Sessegnon must also being required to contribute as a creator instead of Robinson, who provided 10 assists in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' next four matches take in three from the leading five and Crystal Palace, who have let in only nine strikes in the Premier League this season. A threat emerges for a side that have earned a standing for mid-table stability. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday three o'clock 5. Time for The striker to produce for the Reds The controversy about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal versus Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's deficiencies on the day as they lost to their seventh loss over ten fixtures. The coach's side must have a sustained recovery to force their way into the championship chase from their current spot, plus a significant improvement in form, and the possibility arises with seven from their next 10 league games against teams presently in the lower half in the standings. The risk is obvious posed by Nottingham Forest, the sole side to hand a defeat on their own turf on the champions last season, but it is not only Liverpool's display versus long balls and fast breaks that remains under the spotlight. It is time that Alexander Isak to deliver in a Liverpool shirt. The £125m striker has not played for his club for a month having sustained a groin injury during his second consecutive start in four days in continental competition triumph in Germany. Isak returned off the bench in the Swedish defeat against Switzerland but missed the subsequent dead rubber versus Slovenia to secure his readiness for next year's World Cup qualifiers.
