Premier division: ten highlights to keep an eye on this matchday
Garnacho versus Walker poised for a fresh encounter
A Manchester reunion may be in store as the Clarets' Kyle Walker faces the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The winger is adapting well at Stamford Bridge following his summer move from Old Trafford and demonstrated his talents against Wolves before the fixture pause. His setup for Pedro Neto mixed blistering pace and a perfect grounded ball. His creation for Malo Gusto entailed moving onto his right prior to chipping a ball to the back post. His joyous moment with Neto, echoing his prior embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a testament of the speed at which circumstances change. The last time Garnacho took on Walker? When the former netted for United in their cup final win against Manchester City.

The winger key to stopping Cherries' slump
Antoine Semenyo is attracting the entire rumour-mill treatment amid a reported £65m buyout clause for his potential winter exit, the gossip columns preparing him for graduation out of the Premier League's middle class. That is predictable from a attacker who has six goals plus three assists who is joyous to watch. However, Bournemouth are in an awkward situation, having undergone a form flip: now it's the struggling side West Ham who enter on consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth are down seven-one on aggregate over their last two games after an promising opening to the campaign. Semenyo had his effort saved from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez during the four-nil loss to Aston Villa however confronting a defence without a shutout since August might be the ideal tonic.

Danny Welbeck an outside choice for England
It proved notable to hear Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion throughout the international break although the Brighton striker turns 35 soon. “Despite not knowing him, I know what he can offer me,” stated the England manager. “He can be a back-up for Harry [Kane] as a quite orthodox No 9 position.” Gaining the most recent of his 42 international appearances in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be selected for the World Cup if he can maintain his goal-getting feats. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker can claim more goals over every other English player in England's top division this season with six and remains anxious to add to that tally when Brighton welcome Brentford in Saturday's match.

4. Sessegnon needed as assist provider and finisher
Sessegnon's story has brought some warmth to Fulham's bumpy opening. The former Tottenham man, who came back to his boyhood club last year following five difficult years with Spurs, has emerged as a consistent pick, operating on the left side with the injured Antonee Robinson. The worry? With two goals, he is their joint-top scorer in the league as well as Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their top scorer last season, has netted one goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable until 2026 due to a surgical procedure. Sessegnon must also having to step up as an assist provider replacing Robinson, who provided ten setups in the previous campaign. Fulham's upcoming four fixtures feature three among the best five plus Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine goals in the league to date. Trouble awaits for a team that have earned a standing for consistency in the middle.

The occasion for The striker to deliver for the Merseyside club
The controversy surrounding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike against Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's deficiencies during the match as they lost to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. The coach's team must have a consistent improvement to muscle into the league contest from here, along with a major boost in performance, and a chance emerges with seven from their next 10 Premier League matches versus sides presently in the bottom ten in the standings. The danger is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the sole side to hand a defeat on their own turf on the champions the previous campaign, however it's not just Liverpool's showing when facing long balls and quick transitions that is under scrutiny. Now is the occasion that Alexander Isak to show up wearing red. The expensive signing has not featured in domestic action over four weeks following a muscle issue during his second start in quick succession in the Champions League triumph in Germany. He reappeared as a substitute in the Swedish reverse against Switzerland but missed the midweek meaningless match with Slovenia to ensure his availability for next year's World Cup knockout rounds. A booking in that match would have made him ineligible. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
