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

1. Garnacho and Walker poised for a new clash

A Mancunian rematch might be on the cards as Burnley's Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The attacker is adapting well with Chelsea after his off-season signing from Manchester United and demonstrated his talents versus Wolverhampton prior to the national team interval. His setup for Pedro Neto blended blistering pace and a perfect low cross. His build-up for Malo Gusto entailed moving onto his right before dinking a cross across the goalmouth. His celebration with Neto, echoing his previous embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a reminder of how quickly situations evolve. The last time Garnacho took on Walker? During the Argentine netted for United in the cup final win over Manchester City.

Antoine Semenyo crucial to halting Bournemouth's decline

Antoine Semenyo is receiving the full transfer speculation treatment due to a claimed £65m buyout clause for his potential winter exit, the gossip columns setting him up for graduation from the Premier League's middle class. That is predictable from a winger who has six finishes and three assists who is delightful to watch. However, his team are in an tricky situation, experiencing a body swap: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who arrive with back-to-back victories, while Bournemouth have lost seven to one on aggregate over their previous two games after an strong start to the campaign. Semenyo was denied from the spot by Emi Martínez in their heavy loss to Aston Villa yet facing a defensive unit lacking a clean sheet since August may prove the best remedy.

The striker a surprise choice for the national team

It seemed interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck multiple times throughout the international break despite the fact that the Brighton attacker reaches 35 soon. “Even without knowing him, I understand what he can give me,” said the England manager. “He could serve as a back-up for Harry [Kane] as a very traditional centre-forward position.” Earning the final 42 international appearances several years ago, there is every chance that Welbeck could be in the squad for the World Cup assuming he can continue his goal-getting exploits. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal forward has additional strikes over every other English player in England's top division this term having six and remains eager to increase that tally as Brighton welcome Brentford this weekend.

4. Sessegnon crucial as creator and finisher

Sessegnon's story has offered a measure of positivity to Fulham's bumpy start. The former Tottenham man, who came back to his boyhood club recently following five tough years at Tottenham, is now a regular starter, operating on the left flank with the injured Antonee Robinson. The worry? With two goals, he remains their leading marksman this season alongside Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their leading man in the last term, has bagged a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term because of a hamstring operation. Additionally, Sessegnon being required to contribute as an assist provider instead of Robinson, who provided ten setups in the previous campaign. Fulham's next four fixtures include three of the leading five and Crystal Palace, who have let in only nine strikes in the Premier League so far. Trouble awaits for a side that have built a reputation for consistency in the middle.

The occasion for Alexander Isak to deliver for the Reds

The dispute about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal against Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they lost to their seventh loss in ten matches. The manager's squad must have a sustained recovery to force their way into the league contest from their current spot, plus a dramatic boost in performance, and the possibility presents itself with seven from their next 10 top-flight fixtures versus sides currently in the lower half in the league. The danger is obvious posed by Nottingham Forest, the sole side to hand a defeat on their own turf on the champions the previous campaign, but it is not only Liverpool's display when facing aerial passes and counterattacks that is in focus. It is time for Alexander Isak to perform wearing red. The big-money forward has not featured in domestic action in a month after picking up a groin problem during his second appearance in the lineup over a short period in the Champions League triumph abroad. Isak returned off the bench in Sweden's defeat to Switzerland but sat out Tuesday's meaningless match with Slovenia to guarantee his availability for the World Cup playoffs. A booking during the game might have made him ineligible. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
