Premier division: ten highlights to keep an eye on this weekend
Walker faces Garnacho ready for a fresh battle
A Mancunian rematch might be on the cards as the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The winger is adapting well in west London after his off-season signing from the Red Devils and showcased his talents in the Wolves match before the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto blended blistering pace and a ideal low cross. His build-up for Malo Gusto entailed shifting infield prior to dinking a cross to the back post. His celebration with Neto, mirroring his prior celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a testament of how quickly circumstances change. The most recent instance Garnacho took on Walker? When the former netted for United during their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.

2. Semenyo key to stopping Cherries' slide
Antoine Semenyo is attracting the entire transfer speculation attention due to a claimed £65m buyout clause for a possible mid-season move, the gossip columns positioning him for advancement from the Premier League's middle class. This is to be expected for a attacker who has six goals plus three setups and remains joyous to watch. However, his side are in an tricky situation, having undergone a role reversal: now it's the struggling side West Ham who come in on back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth are down seven to one over two games in their previous two fixtures following an promising beginning to the campaign. Semenyo was denied from the spot by Emi Martínez in the 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa but facing a defence without a clean sheet for months may prove the best solution.

Danny Welbeck a surprise option for the national team
It seemed notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck multiple times throughout the national team window although the Brighton striker turns 35 soon. “Without even being familiar with him, I am aware what he could give me,” stated the England manager. “He might act as a reserve for Harry [Kane] as a quite conventional striker role.” Earning the most recent of his 42 caps back in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck might be in the squad for the World Cup provided he can maintain his goal-getting exploits. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal striker can claim a greater tally over every other English player in England's top division this term on six and is keen to add to that count as Brighton entertain Brentford in Saturday's match.

4. Sessegnon crucial as playmaker and finisher
The Ryan Sessegnon tale has provided a measure of warmth to Fulham's uneven beginning. The left-sided player, who rejoined his youth team last year after five tough years in north London, has emerged as a regular starter, operating on the left with the injured Antonee Robinson. The concern? On two goals, he's also their leading marksman in the Premier League together with Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their primary attacker in the last term, has bagged once whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out for the long term due to a hamstring operation. Additionally, Sessegnon being required to contribute as a creator in place of Robinson, who provided ten helpers last season. The Cottagers' upcoming four matches take in three among the best five as well as Crystal Palace, who have allowed merely nine goals in the league this season. Trouble awaits for the club that have earned a standing for solidity in the central positions.

The occasion for The striker to perform for the Merseyside club
The controversy surrounding Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal versus Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's deficiencies on the day as they lost to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. The coach's squad need a consistent improvement to force their way into the title race from here, along with a dramatic improvement in form, and a chance emerges as seven out of their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures facing clubs presently in the bottom half of the table. The threat is obvious posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to inflict a loss at Anfield on the champions last season, however it's not just Liverpool's performance when facing direct play and quick transitions that remains in focus. It is time that Alexander Isak to show up wearing red. The £125m striker has been absent at club level in a month following a groin problem while his second appearance in the lineup in quick succession in Europe win in Germany. He reappeared as a substitute during Sweden's defeat to Switzerland but was rested the subsequent dead rubber versus Slovenia to secure his fitness for the World Cup qualifiers. A yellow card on Tuesday might have ruled him out. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
