đź”— Share this article Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend Walker faces Garnacho ready for a fresh battle A Mancunian rematch may be in the offing as the Clarets' Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The attacker is adapting well in west London after his summer move from Manchester United and displayed his abilities in the Wolves match before the international break. His setup for Pedro Neto blended electric speed with a perfect along-the-deck delivery. His build-up for Malo Gusto entailed cutting inside prior to lofting a ball to the back post. His goal reaction with Neto, replicating his prior hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a reminder of how quickly circumstances change. The most recent instance Garnacho encountered Walker? When the youngster scored for United in their cup final win over Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (all times GMT) Antoine Semenyo crucial to halting Bournemouth's slump Antoine Semenyo is attracting the full gossip column focus due to a claimed ÂŁ65m release clause for a potential winter exit, the tabloids preparing him for graduation from the Premier League's middle class. This is to be expected for a attacker with a half-dozen strikes and three setups who is delightful to watch. Still, his side are in an difficult situation, having undergone a body swap: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who arrive on successive wins, while Bournemouth have lost 7-1 on aggregate in their last two fixtures after an impressive start to the campaign. Semenyo had his effort saved on the penalty by Emi MartĂnez in their 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa but confronting a defence that hasn't kept a goalless game in the league since the start of the season could be the perfect solution. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm 3. Welbeck a left-field shout for the Three Lions It was intriguing to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the fixture pause even though the Brighton striker celebrates 35 next week. “Despite not knowing him, I am aware what he can provide,” said the England coach. “He could serve as a reserve for Harry [Kane] playing a very orthodox No 9 position.” Earning the most recent of his 42 international appearances in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck could be on the plane for the World Cup provided he is able to continue his goal-getting feats. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal striker can claim a greater tally than any other English player in the Premier League this campaign having six and is keen to boost that total when Brighton host Brentford this weekend. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3pm Ryan Sessegnon needed as playmaker and goalscorer The Ryan Sessegnon tale has provided some positivity to Fulham's uneven start. The left-sided player, who rejoined his former side in 2024 after five difficult years in north London, is now a regular starter, operating on the left flank due to the injury of the injured Antonee Robinson. The concern? With two goals, he is their top goalscorer in the Premier League together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their leading man last season, has netted one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for an extended period because of a surgical procedure. Sessegnon is also having to step up as an assist provider in place of Robinson, who registered ten helpers last time round. The Cottagers' following four matches include three from the top five as well as Crystal Palace, who have allowed only nine strikes in the Premier League so far. Trouble awaits for a team that have earned a standing for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday three o'clock 5. Time for Isak to deliver for the Merseyside club The debate about Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort versus Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's shortcomings during the match as they fell to loss number seven in 10 games. Arne Slot's team must have a sustained recovery to muscle into the league contest from here, as well as a major boost in performance, and the possibility presents itself as seven of their next 10 top-flight fixtures facing sides currently in the bottom ten in the standings. The risk is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to deliver a loss at Anfield to Liverpool in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's showing when facing long balls and quick transitions that will be under the spotlight. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to show up wearing red. The big-money forward has been absent at club level in a month having sustained a muscle issue during his second consecutive start in quick succession in the Champions League win in Germany. Isak returned from the bench during Sweden's reverse by Switzerland but missed Tuesday's meaningless match against Slovenia to guarantee his availability for next year's World Cup playoffs. A caution in that match would have ruled him out. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
