Premier division: 10 things to look out for this matchday


Garnacho versus Walker ready for a new encounter

A Mancunian rematch might be in store as the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The winger is finding his feet with Chelsea after his close-season transfer from Manchester United and showcased his talents against Wolves prior to the national team interval. His setup for Pedro Neto combined rapid acceleration and a ideal along-the-deck delivery. His creation for Malo Gusto entailed moving onto his right before chipping a cross toward the far post. His goal reaction with Neto, mirroring his earlier hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus HĂžjlund, was a reminder of how quickly situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho encountered Walker? When the youngster found the net for United in the Wembley triumph over Manchester City.

2. Semenyo crucial to stopping Cherries' slide

Antoine Semenyo is receiving the complete rumour-mill attention amid a reported ÂŁ65m release clause for a potential winter exit, the tabloids setting him up for graduation out of the Premier League's average tier. That is to be expected from a attacker who has a half-dozen strikes plus three assists and is joyous to watch. Still, his team occupy an difficult situation, having engaged in a body swap: it is the struggling side West Ham who enter with successive wins, while Bournemouth have lost seven to one on aggregate in their past two games after an impressive opening to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved from the penalty spot by Emi MartĂ­nez during the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa however confronting a backline without a clean sheet in the league since the start of the season might be the best solution.

The striker a left-field choice for the national team

It was notable to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck repeatedly throughout the national team window despite the fact that the Brighton forward turns 35 soon. “Without even being familiar with him, I know what he could give me,” commented the England boss. “He might act as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] in a very conventional No 9 role.” Earning the most recent of his 42 international appearances several years ago, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be in the squad to the World Cup assuming he is able to maintain his goal-getting feats. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker has a greater tally over every other English player in the Premier League this season on six and will be anxious to increase that tally when Brighton welcome Brentford on Saturday.

The full-back needed as assist provider and goalscorer

The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has brought some positivity to Fulham's inconsistent beginning. The left-sided player, who came back to his boyhood club recently following five difficult years in north London, is now a first-team fixture, pushing forward on the left due to the injury of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The issue? Having scored twice, he is their top goalscorer in the Premier League together with Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their top scorer last season, has scored one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is out until 2026 because of hamstring surgery. Additionally, Sessegnon being required to contribute in a creative role instead of Robinson, who supplied ten setups in the previous campaign. Fulham's next four matches take in three of the top five as well as Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine scores in the Premier League to date. Trouble awaits for the club that have built a reputation for solidity in the central positions.

The occasion for The striker to deliver for the Reds

The controversy regarding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort in the match with Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they lost to their seventh loss in 10 games. The manager's team must have a sustained recovery to force their way into the league contest from here, along with a significant improvement in form, and a chance emerges with seven of their following ten league games against teams presently in the lower half in the standings. The danger is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the sole side to hand a loss at Anfield to Liverpool in the last term, but it is not only Liverpool's display when facing long balls and quick transitions that remains in focus. The moment has come for Alexander Isak to perform for Liverpool. The big-money forward has not played in domestic action in a month having sustained a groin injury when making his second start in four days in continental competition triumph abroad. He reappeared as a substitute in the Swedish loss by Switzerland but missed Tuesday's inconsequential game with Slovenia to ensure his availability for the upcoming World Cup knockout rounds. A yellow card on Tuesday would have suspended him. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
