🔗 Share this article Premier League: ten highlights to look out for this round of fixtures Garnacho versus Walker set for another battle Another northwest showdown might be in store when Burnley's Kyle Walker confronts the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The wide man is finding his feet in west London after his off-season signing from Old Trafford and showcased his abilities versus Wolverhampton prior to the fixture pause. His setup for Pedro Neto combined electric speed and a ideal grounded ball. His creation for Malo Gusto required cutting inside prior to dinking a cross across the goalmouth. His goal reaction with Neto, mirroring his previous embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a testament of the pace with which circumstances change. The previous occasion Garnacho faced Walker? When the former scored for United in the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday half past twelve (all times GMT) 2. Semenyo key to stopping Cherries' decline Antoine Semenyo is attracting the full transfer speculation focus amid a alleged £65m release clause for a possible mid-season move, the media preparing him for promotion from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. That is understandable for a wide player with six goals plus three setups and remains pleasurable to watch. Nonetheless, his side are in an difficult position, experiencing a form flip: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who come in on consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have been beaten 7-1 over two games in their past two matches following an strong start to the season. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the spot by Emi Martínez during the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa yet confronting a backline that hasn't kept a goalless game since August could be the ideal tonic. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday three o'clock 3. Welbeck a left-field option for the Three Lions It proved intriguing to hear Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the national team window even though the Brighton striker turns 35 soon. “Without even knowing him, I am aware what he is able to provide,” said the England coach. “He could serve as a back-up for Harry [Kane] playing a very traditional No 9 role.” Gaining the final 42 international appearances in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be in the squad to the World Cup provided he can continue his goalscoring performances. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has additional strikes compared to any English performer in the Premier League this term on six and is anxious to boost that total when Brighton entertain Brentford on Saturday. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock 4. Sessegnon needed as assist provider and goalscorer The Ryan Sessegnon tale has provided a degree of comfort to Fulham's uneven start. The 25-year-old, who came back to his boyhood club last year after five difficult years with Spurs, has become a regular starter, pushing forward on the left in the absence 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 bagged a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for the long term because of a hamstring operation. Sessegnon must also being required to contribute as an assist provider in place of Robinson, who provided ten setups last time round. Fulham's upcoming four matches take in three among the top five as well as Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine strikes in the Premier League to date. A threat emerges for a team that have developed a standing for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday 3:00 PM The occasion for Alexander Isak to produce for the Merseyside club The dispute surrounding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort in the match with Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's inferiority during the match as they succumbed to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. Arne Slot's side must have a prolonged upturn to muscle into the championship chase from their current spot, plus a dramatic boost in performance, and opportunity emerges as seven of their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures facing teams at the moment in the lower half in the league. The risk is clear from Nottingham Forest, the single club to hand a loss at Anfield to Liverpool last season, but it is not only Liverpool's showing versus aerial passes and fast breaks that remains in focus. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to show up in a Liverpool shirt. The £125m striker has been absent for his club over four weeks after picking up a groin injury during his second appearance in the lineup over a short period in continental competition victory in Germany. He reappeared as a substitute in the Swedish loss against Switzerland but sat out the subsequent meaningless match versus Slovenia to guarantee his readiness for the upcoming World Cup playoffs. A caution in that match could have suspended him. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
