đ Share this article Premier division: ten key points to watch for this weekend Garnacho versus Walker ready for a fresh clash A Mancunian rematch could be on the cards when the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The attacker is finding his feet with Chelsea following his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and showcased his abilities in the Wolves match before the fixture pause. His key pass for Pedro Neto combined electric speed and a perfect along-the-deck delivery. His build-up for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right before dinking a ball toward the far post. His goal reaction with Neto, mirroring his previous embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus HĂžjlund, acted as a reminder of how quickly situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho encountered Walker? During the former found the net for United in their Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday half past twelve (all times GMT) The winger key to stopping Cherries' slump Antoine Semenyo is attracting the complete transfer speculation attention due to a reported ÂŁ65m escape clause for a potential winter exit, the media setting him up for promotion out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. It is understandable from a attacker with six goals and three helpers and remains delightful to watch. Still, Bournemouth find themselves in an awkward situation, experiencing a body swap: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who arrive with back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven to one over two games in their last two games after an strong opening to the season. Semenyo was denied from the spot by Emi MartĂnez during the four-nil loss by Aston Villa but facing a defence without a clean sheet in the league since the start of the season might be the perfect solution. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 3. Welbeck a surprise choice for England It was interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the fixture pause although the Brighton attacker turns 35 soon. âDespite not having met him, I understand what he is able to give me,â said the England boss. âHe can be a back-up for Harry [Kane] in a very conventional centre-forward role.â Having won the most recent of his 42 international appearances back in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck could be selected to the World Cup assuming he manages to continue his scoring exploits. The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker can claim a greater tally compared to any English footballer in the top flight this season with six and remains keen to add to that count as Brighton host Brentford on Saturday. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon crucial as playmaker and goalscorer The Ryan Sessegnon tale has offered a degree of comfort to Fulham's inconsistent opening. The former Tottenham man, who rejoined his youth team in 2024 following five difficult years at Tottenham, has become a consistent pick, pushing forward on the left with the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The worry? With two goals, he remains their leading marksman this season alongside Harry Wilson. RaĂșl JimĂ©nez, their primary attacker in the last term, has netted a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is injured until 2026 owing to a hamstring operation. Sessegnon is also having to step up as a creator in place of Robinson, who registered ten setups last season. The Cottagers' following four matches take in three of the best five plus Crystal Palace, who have allowed only nine goals in the Premier League so far. Danger looms for a team that have built a name for consistency in the middle. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 5. Time for Alexander Isak to deliver for the Merseyside club The debate surrounding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort against Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's shortcomings on the day as they lost to loss number seven over ten fixtures. The manager's side need a consistent improvement to muscle into the championship chase from this position, plus a major upturn in results, and a chance arises as seven of their next 10 league games versus teams at the moment in the bottom half in the league. The danger is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to deliver a loss at Anfield on the champions in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's display against long balls and fast breaks that remains in focus. Now is the occasion for Alexander Isak to show up for Liverpool. The expensive signing has been absent for his club in a month following a groin injury when making his second start in four days in Europe win in Germany. He reappeared as a substitute in the Swedish reverse to Switzerland but sat out the midweek meaningless match with Slovenia to guarantee his availability for the upcoming World Cup knockout rounds. A caution during the game would have ruled him out. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
