🔗 Share this article Premier League: 10 things to look out for this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for another encounter A Manchester reunion may be in store when Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The winger is finding his feet at Stamford Bridge after his close-season transfer from Old Trafford and displayed his talents in the Wolves match before the fixture pause. His setup for Pedro Neto combined rapid acceleration and a flawless grounded ball. His build-up for Malo Gusto involved shifting infield prior to chipping a delivery to the back post. His celebration with Neto, mirroring his prior celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a reminder of the pace with which situations evolve. The last time Garnacho encountered Walker? Back when the Argentine found the net for United in the cup final win over Manchester City.

This is to be expected from a attacker who has six goals plus three helpers who is delightful to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth find themselves in an awkward situation, experiencing a role reversal: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who arrive on successive wins, while Bournemouth are down seven to one over two games over their past two fixtures following an strong beginning to the season. Semenyo was denied on the penalty by Emi Martínez in the four-nil loss to Aston Villa however confronting a defensive unit lacking a clean sheet since August may prove the perfect tonic. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM Danny Welbeck an outside shout for the national team It was intriguing to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck multiple times throughout the fixture pause although the Brighton attacker reaches 35 in the coming days. “Without even knowing him, I understand what he is able to provide,” stated the England coach. “He could serve as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] playing a very traditional No 9 role.” Having won the last of his 42 international appearances back in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck might be in the squad for the World Cup provided he is able to continue his goal-getting exploits. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker can claim more goals over every other English performer in England's top division this term having six and remains keen to increase that count when Brighton host Brentford on Saturday.

The coach's side need a consistent improvement to muscle into the title race from here, plus a significant upturn in results, and a chance presents itself as seven of their upcoming ten Premier League matches facing clubs presently in the lower half of the table. The threat is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the only team to inflict a defeat on their own turf to the title holders last season, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's performance when facing aerial passes and counterattacks that remains under scrutiny.
