đź”— Share this article Premier division: ten key points to keep an eye on this round of fixtures 1. Garnacho and Walker ready for a new encounter A Manchester reunion might be in the offing when Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The attacker is finding his feet with Chelsea following his off-season signing from the Red Devils and demonstrated his skills in the Wolves match prior to the fixture pause. His key pass for Pedro Neto blended blistering pace and a flawless along-the-deck delivery. His creation for Malo Gusto involved shifting infield before chipping a ball across the goalmouth. His goal reaction with Neto, mirroring his earlier hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a reminder of the speed at which situations evolve. The most recent instance Garnacho faced Walker? Back when the youngster netted for United during their cup final win over Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday half past twelve (all times GMT) The winger crucial to ending Bournemouth's slump Antoine Semenyo is attracting the full gossip column attention due to a alleged ÂŁ65m escape clause for his possible mid-season move, the gossip columns positioning him for advancement out of the Premier League's middle class. It is understandable for a attacker with six finishes plus three assists and remains joyous to watch. However, his side are in an difficult position, having undergone a form flip: it is the struggling side West Ham who come in on successive wins, while Bournemouth are down 7-1 on aggregate over their past two games after an strong beginning to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved from the penalty spot by Emi MartĂnez during the heavy loss by Aston Villa however confronting a defence without a goalless game in the league since the start of the season could be the ideal tonic. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday 3pm 3. Welbeck an outside option for the national team It was interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the international break even though the Brighton attacker celebrates 35 in the coming days. “Despite not being familiar with him, I understand what he is able to give me,” stated the England boss. “He could serve as a back-up for Harry [Kane] playing a quite traditional centre-forward role.” Gaining the last of his 42 England games in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck might be in the squad to the World Cup assuming he is able to maintain his scoring exploits. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal attacker boasts more goals compared to any English player in the Premier League this campaign with six and is anxious to add to that tally as Brighton host Brentford this weekend. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3pm Ryan Sessegnon needed as playmaker and scorer Sessegnon's story has offered a measure of warmth to Fulham's uneven beginning. The former Tottenham man, who rejoined his former side in 2024 following five challenging years in north London, is now a consistent pick, pushing forward on the left flank in the absence of the injured Antonee Robinson.

A threat emerges for a team that have developed a name for consistency in the middle. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday 3:00 PM 5. Time for The striker to deliver for the Reds The controversy about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal against Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they fell to loss number seven in ten matches. Arne Slot's squad need a prolonged upturn to muscle into the league contest from here, plus a significant upturn in results, and opportunity presents itself with seven of their following ten Premier League matches against teams presently in the bottom half in the standings. The threat is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the sole side to inflict a home league defeat to the title holders last season, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's performance when facing aerial passes and counterattacks that remains under the spotlight.
