Premier division: 10 things to look out for this matchday

1. Garnacho and Walker ready for another clash

A Mancunian rematch could be in store as the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The wide man has started to settle in west London following his off-season signing from Old Trafford and demonstrated his skills versus Wolverhampton prior to the international break. His setup for Pedro Neto combined electric speed and a ideal low cross. His creation for Malo Gusto entailed cutting inside before lofting a ball across the goalmouth. His joyous moment with Neto, echoing his prior hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a indication of the pace with which situations evolve. The last time Garnacho took on Walker? Back when the Argentine scored for United in their cup final win against Manchester City.

Antoine Semenyo vital to ending Cherries' decline

Antoine Semenyo is attracting the complete transfer speculation treatment due to a reported £65m buyout clause for his possible winter exit, the media positioning him for promotion from the Premier League's average tier. That is predictable from a wide player who has six finishes and three helpers and remains pleasurable to watch. Still, his team occupy an tricky spot, having engaged in a form flip: now it's the bottom-half team West Ham who arrive with back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven-one on aggregate over their previous two fixtures after an impressive opening to the season. Semenyo was denied from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in their four-nil loss to Aston Villa yet taking on a backline without a shutout since August could be the best remedy.

3. Welbeck a surprise choice for the national team

It seemed interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the international break although the Brighton striker celebrates 35 in the coming days. “Even without knowing him, I know what he is able to offer me,” commented the England coach. “He can be a back-up for Harry [Kane] playing a very traditional centre-forward role.” Earning the most recent of his 42 caps in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck could be selected to the World Cup assuming he manages to sustain his goalscoring performances. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker has additional strikes than any other English performer in the top flight this term having six and will be keen to increase that total as Brighton host Brentford this weekend.

The full-back required as assist provider and scorer

Sessegnon's story has provided a degree of warmth to Fulham's bumpy opening. The 25-year-old, who rejoined his former side last year after five difficult years with Spurs, has become a consistent pick, operating on the left flank due to the injury of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The concern? Having scored twice, he's also their top goalscorer in the Premier League as well as Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their top scorer last season, has netted once whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out for the long term owing to hamstring surgery. Additionally, Sessegnon needing to deliver as a creator replacing Robinson, who provided 10 assists in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' following four fixtures feature three of the top five and Crystal Palace, who have allowed merely nine strikes this season this season. Trouble awaits for a team that have built a standing for mid-table stability.

The occasion for The striker to deliver for Liverpool

The dispute regarding Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal versus Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's inferiority on the day as they fell to their seventh loss in 10 games. Arne Slot's team require a sustained recovery to force their way into the title race from this position, plus a dramatic upturn in results, and the possibility emerges with seven from their following ten Premier League matches facing teams presently in the bottom ten of the table. The threat is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to deliver a loss at Anfield on the champions the previous campaign, but it is not only Liverpool's display versus direct play and fast breaks that will be in focus. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to show up in a Liverpool shirt. The £125m striker has not played at club level in a month after picking up a muscle issue when making his second appearance in the lineup over a short period in continental competition victory in Germany. He reappeared off the bench in Sweden's defeat by Switzerland but missed the subsequent meaningless match versus Slovenia to ensure his fitness for the World Cup playoffs. A yellow card on Tuesday could have made him ineligible. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
