🔗 Share this article Premier division: 10 things to watch for this weekend 1. Garnacho and Walker set for a new encounter Another northwest showdown may be in the offing when Burnley's Kyle Walker faces the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The wide man is finding his feet with Chelsea following his summer move from Manchester United and displayed his talents against Wolves before the fixture pause. His assist for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed with a flawless along-the-deck delivery. His build-up for Malo Gusto required shifting infield prior to chipping a delivery to the back post. His celebration with Neto, echoing his prior celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a reminder of the speed at which situations evolve. The last time Garnacho took on Walker? Back when the former netted for United in their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (all times GMT) Antoine Semenyo vital to ending Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is attracting the complete transfer speculation focus following a reported £65m escape clause for his possible mid-season move, the tabloids preparing him for promotion out of the Premier League's middle class. That is predictable for a attacker who has six finishes and three setups and remains pleasurable to watch. Still, his team occupy an awkward spot, experiencing a form flip: now it's the struggling side West Ham who come in with consecutive triumphs, whereas Bournemouth are down seven to one over two games over their last two fixtures following an promising start to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved from the spot by Emi Martínez during the four-nil loss to Aston Villa but facing a defence that hasn't kept a shutout for months may prove the best tonic. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm The striker a left-field option for England It was interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck multiple times throughout the international break even though the Brighton forward reaches 35 in the coming days. “Without even being familiar with him, I know what he could offer me,” said the England manager. “He might act as a back-up for Harry [Kane] as a very conventional No 9 position.” Earning the most recent of his 42 England games several years ago, it's entirely possible that Welbeck could be selected for the World Cup provided he can maintain his goalscoring performances. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker can claim a greater tally over every other English player in England's top division this season with six and will be anxious to add to that tally as Brighton host Brentford on Saturday. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon needed as playmaker and finisher Sessegnon's story has brought a degree of comfort to Fulham's inconsistent beginning. The former Tottenham man, who returned to his former side last year after five challenging years at Tottenham, has emerged as a first-team fixture, driving down the left flank in the absence of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The worry? Having scored twice, he remains their joint-top scorer this season as well as Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their primary attacker the previous campaign, has bagged a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for an extended period because of a surgical procedure. Sessegnon must also having to step up as an assist provider in place of Robinson, who supplied ten helpers last time round. The Cottagers' following four fixtures take in three of the best five plus Crystal Palace, who have allowed merely nine strikes in the Premier League so far. Danger looms for a side that have built a standing for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday three o'clock 5. Time for The striker to deliver for the Merseyside club The controversy regarding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort versus Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's inferiority in that game as they lost to a seventh defeat in 10 games. The manager's side must have a consistent improvement to muscle into the championship chase from this position, plus a significant improvement in form, and opportunity presents itself as seven out of their next 10 league games versus sides presently in the lower half of the table. The threat is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to deliver a loss at Anfield on the champions last season, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's showing when facing aerial passes and counterattacks that is under scrutiny. It is time for Alexander Isak to show up for Liverpool. The expensive signing has not featured at club level over four weeks after picking up a groin problem when making his second start in four days in continental competition win at Eintracht Frankfurt. He reappeared off the bench during Sweden's loss by Switzerland but missed the midweek dead rubber versus Slovenia to ensure his availability for the World Cup playoffs. A yellow card during the game might have ruled him out. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
