🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten key points to keep an eye on this weekend 1. Garnacho and Walker ready for a fresh encounter A Mancunian rematch may be on the cards as the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The wide man is finding his feet at Stamford Bridge after his off-season signing from Manchester United and showcased his skills against Wolves before the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed with a ideal along-the-deck delivery. His contribution for Malo Gusto required shifting infield before lofting a delivery across the goalmouth. His goal reaction with Neto, replicating his earlier celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a reminder of the pace with which circumstances change. The last time Garnacho took on Walker? Back when the former found the net for United in the Wembley triumph against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon half past twelve (start times GMT) Antoine Semenyo crucial to stopping Bournemouth's slump Antoine Semenyo is attracting the entire transfer speculation attention amid a reported £65m escape clause for his prospective mid-season move, the media preparing him for promotion out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. That is understandable from a attacker with six finishes and three setups and remains pleasurable to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth find themselves in an tricky position, experiencing a body swap: now it's the bottom-half team West Ham who come in with consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have lost seven to one on aggregate over their previous two games following an impressive opening to the season. Semenyo was denied on the penalty by Emi Martínez during the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa yet taking on a defence lacking a clean sheet since August may prove the best remedy. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM The striker a left-field choice for England It seemed notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck repeatedly throughout the fixture pause even though the Brighton forward celebrates 35 soon. “Without even being familiar with him, I understand what he is able to offer me,” stated the England manager. “He might act as a back-up for Harry [Kane] in a quite orthodox striker position.” Gaining the final 42 international appearances several years ago, there is every chance that Welbeck may be selected to the World Cup provided he manages to maintain his scoring feats. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has a greater tally over every other English performer in England's top division this season having six and is keen to boost that total as Brighton welcome Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday 3pm 4. Sessegnon crucial as creator and goalscorer Sessegnon's story has brought a measure of warmth to Fulham's bumpy opening. The 25-year-old, who came back to his youth team in 2024 after five challenging years at Tottenham, has become a regular starter, driving down the left in the absence of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The concern? On two goals, he remains their leading marksman this season alongside Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their top scorer the previous campaign, has bagged one goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for an extended period due to a surgical procedure. Additionally, Sessegnon being required to contribute as an assist provider in place of Robinson, who provided 10 assists last season. Fulham's next four matches take in three from the best five and Crystal Palace, who have conceded only nine strikes in the Premier League this season. Danger looms for the club that have built a standing for mid-table stability. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The occasion for The striker to perform for the Merseyside club The debate regarding Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal versus Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's deficiencies during the match as they fell to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. The coach's side must have a prolonged upturn to force their way into the league contest from this position, as well as a significant improvement in form, and a chance emerges as seven out of their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures against clubs currently in the bottom half in the standings. The threat is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the only team to deliver a home league defeat to the title holders last season, but it is not only Liverpool's display against direct play and fast breaks that will be under the spotlight. It is time that Alexander Isak to show up wearing red. The big-money forward has not featured at club level in a month after picking up a groin problem while his second start in four days in the Champions League victory abroad. He reappeared off the bench in the Swedish loss to Switzerland but sat out Tuesday's meaningless match against Slovenia to ensure his fitness for next year's World Cup qualifiers.
