Premier League: 10 things to look out for this round of fixtures


1. Garnacho and Walker set for another clash

Another northwest showdown could be in store as the Clarets' Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The attacker is adapting well at Stamford Bridge following his summer move from the Red Devils and showcased his skills in the Wolves match prior to the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto blended blistering pace with a flawless along-the-deck delivery. His build-up for Malo Gusto required cutting inside before lofting a delivery toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his previous embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a reminder of the pace with which situations evolve. The most recent instance Garnacho encountered Walker? During the youngster netted for United during their Wembley triumph over Manchester City.

Antoine Semenyo vital to ending Cherries' decline

Antoine Semenyo is receiving the entire gossip column focus amid a reported ÂŁ65m escape clause for his possible winter exit, the tabloids preparing him for graduation out of the Premier League's average tier. That is to be expected for a attacker who has six goals plus three setups who is joyous to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth find themselves in an tricky spot, experiencing a role reversal: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who come in on consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth are down seven-one combined in their previous two fixtures after an strong opening to the season. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the spot by Emi MartĂ­nez in their four-nil loss by Aston Villa but taking on a defensive unit lacking a goalless game since August could be the ideal solution.

Danny Welbeck a surprise shout for the national team

It proved interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the national team window despite the fact that the Brighton attacker reaches 35 in the coming days. “Despite not knowing him, I understand what he is able to give me,” commented the England manager. “He might act as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] in a quite traditional No 9 role.” Gaining the final 42 England games back in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck might be on the plane for the World Cup assuming he manages to continue his goal-getting feats. The former Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has additional strikes compared to any English player in the top flight this season having six and remains eager to add to that count when Brighton host Brentford this weekend.

Ryan Sessegnon needed as assist provider and scorer

The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has offered a degree of warmth to Fulham's bumpy opening. The former Tottenham man, who returned to his boyhood club last year following five difficult years with Spurs, has become a consistent pick, driving down the left side in the absence of the injured Antonee Robinson. The issue? On two goals, he remains their leading marksman in the league alongside Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their primary attacker in the last term, has netted a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term due to hamstring surgery. Sessegnon must also having to step up as a creator replacing Robinson, who registered ten setups last season. Fulham's following four fixtures take in three from the leading five and Crystal Palace, who have allowed only nine goals this season so far. Danger looms for a side that have earned a reputation for mid-table stability.

5. Time for Alexander Isak to perform for the Merseyside club

The debate surrounding Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal in the match with Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's deficiencies on the day as they lost to a seventh defeat in 10 games. The coach's squad must have a prolonged upturn to muscle into the championship chase from here, as well as a major upturn in results, and a chance presents itself with seven out of their next 10 top-flight fixtures versus sides presently in the lower half in the league. The threat is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to deliver a home league defeat on the champions in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's display versus aerial passes and counterattacks that is under scrutiny. Now is the occasion for Alexander Isak to perform in a Liverpool shirt. The big-money forward has been absent at club level for a month after picking up a groin problem while his second consecutive start in four days in continental competition victory at Eintracht Frankfurt. Isak returned as a substitute in Sweden's reverse against Switzerland but sat out the midweek meaningless match with Slovenia to guarantee his readiness for next year's World Cup qualifiers. A caution on Tuesday could have suspended him. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
