🔗 Share this article Premier division: ten highlights to look out for this round of fixtures 1. Garnacho and Walker ready for another clash Another northwest showdown may be on the cards as Burnley's Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The attacker is adapting well with Chelsea after his off-season signing from Manchester United and displayed his skills against Wolves before the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed with a perfect low cross. His build-up for Malo Gusto required cutting inside prior to dinking a delivery to the back post. His goal reaction with Neto, echoing his prior hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a indication of how quickly things transform. The last time Garnacho took on Walker? When the Argentine scored for United in their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday half past twelve (start times GMT) The winger key to halting Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is receiving the entire rumour-mill treatment following a claimed £65m escape clause for a possible January departure, the gossip columns setting him up for promotion from the Premier League's average tier. That is to be expected from a winger with a half-dozen strikes and three setups who is delightful to watch. Still, his side occupy an awkward position, having engaged in a form flip: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who arrive with consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth are down 7-1 over two games in their last two matches after an promising start to the season. Semenyo was denied from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in their heavy loss to Aston Villa but facing a defence without a shutout in the league since the start of the season may prove the best remedy. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday three o'clock 3. Welbeck a surprise choice for the national team It proved intriguing to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck multiple times during the fixture pause even though the Brighton forward celebrates 35 in the coming days. “Despite not being familiar with him, I know what he could offer me,” said the England manager. “He might act as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] as a quite conventional striker position.” Having won the final 42 England games back in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be selected for the World Cup provided he manages to continue his goal-getting performances. The former Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has a greater tally than any other English footballer in England's top division this term on six and remains keen to add to that total as Brighton entertain Brentford this weekend. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock 4. Sessegnon required as creator and finisher The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has brought a measure of positivity to Fulham's uneven beginning. The former Tottenham man, who came back to his boyhood club last year after five challenging years with Spurs, has become a consistent pick, pushing forward on the left flank due to the injury of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The issue? Having scored twice, he is their top goalscorer in the Premier League together with Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their top scorer the previous campaign, has netted once whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out for an extended period because of a hamstring operation. Additionally, Sessegnon being required to contribute in a creative role replacing Robinson, who provided 10 assists in the previous campaign. Fulham's following four fixtures feature three of the leading five as well as Crystal Palace, who have allowed only nine goals in the league so far. Trouble awaits for the club that have earned a standing for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The moment for Isak to perform for Liverpool The dispute about Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike versus Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's deficiencies in that game as they succumbed to loss number seven in 10 games. The coach's side require a sustained recovery to muscle into the league contest from their current spot, as well as a significant boost in performance, and a chance arises with seven from their upcoming ten Premier League matches facing sides currently in the bottom ten in the standings. The threat is obvious posed by Nottingham Forest, the sole side to inflict a defeat on their own turf on the champions in the last term, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's showing when facing aerial passes and counterattacks that remains under the spotlight. Now is the occasion for Alexander Isak to show up for Liverpool. The big-money forward has not played at club level over four weeks following a groin injury during his second start in quick succession in the Champions League triumph in Germany. He reappeared from the bench in Sweden's reverse against Switzerland but was rested Tuesday's inconsequential game with Slovenia to secure his fitness for next year's World Cup playoffs. A caution during the game could have suspended him. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
