🔗 Share this article Premier division: 10 things to watch for this round of fixtures Walker faces Garnacho poised for a new encounter A Manchester reunion could be on the cards when the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The attacker is finding his feet with Chelsea following his summer move from the Red Devils and demonstrated his talents versus Wolverhampton prior to the fixture pause. His setup for Pedro Neto mixed blistering pace and a flawless along-the-deck delivery. His build-up for Malo Gusto entailed cutting inside prior to chipping a cross to the back post. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his prior hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a testament of how quickly circumstances change. The last time Garnacho encountered Walker? Back when the former netted for United in the Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (kick-offs GMT) The winger key to ending Bournemouth's slump Antoine Semenyo is getting the complete gossip column treatment due to a reported £65m release clause for a potential mid-season move, the media setting him up for graduation from the Premier League's middle class. It is predictable from a winger with six finishes and three setups who is joyous to watch. However, Bournemouth find themselves in an awkward position, experiencing a role reversal: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who come in with back-to-back victories, while Bournemouth have been beaten seven to one on aggregate in their last two matches following an strong beginning to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved from the spot by Emi Martínez during the 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa but facing a defensive unit lacking a clean sheet in the league since the start of the season could be the ideal remedy. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM Danny Welbeck a surprise choice for England It proved interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck multiple times during the international break even though the Brighton forward reaches 35 in the coming days. “Without even knowing him, I am aware what he can offer me,” stated the England manager. “He could serve as a back-up for Harry [Kane] playing a very orthodox striker role.” Having won the last of his 42 England games back in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck could be on the plane for the World Cup if he can sustain his scoring performances. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal striker boasts a greater tally than any other English footballer in the top flight this season having six and is eager to increase that count when Brighton host Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM Ryan Sessegnon required as creator and scorer Sessegnon's story has brought some warmth to Fulham's uneven beginning. The former Tottenham man, who rejoined his former side in 2024 after five challenging years at Tottenham, is now a regular starter, pushing forward on the left in the absence of the injured Antonee Robinson. The worry? Having scored twice, he's also their top goalscorer this season alongside Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their primary attacker the previous campaign, has netted one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable until 2026 because of a surgical procedure. Sessegnon must also having to step up in a creative role instead of Robinson, who supplied ten helpers last season. Fulham's following four games feature three among the top five and Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine scores this season to date. A threat emerges for a team that have earned a standing for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon three o'clock 5. Time for Alexander Isak to deliver for the Reds The controversy surrounding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike versus Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's inferiority in that game as they fell to a seventh defeat in ten matches. The coach's team must have a prolonged upturn to muscle into the title race from this position, as well as a dramatic improvement in form, and opportunity arises with seven from their next 10 league games versus clubs at the moment in the lower half in the league. The danger is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the single club to inflict a defeat on their own turf to the title holders last season, but it is not only Liverpool's display versus long balls and quick transitions that will be under scrutiny. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to perform wearing red. The £125m striker has been absent for his club over four weeks after picking up a groin problem while his second start in four days in the Champions League win abroad. He reappeared off the bench during Sweden's defeat against Switzerland but was rested the midweek dead rubber with Slovenia to secure his fitness for next year's World Cup qualifiers. A caution during the game could have suspended him. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
