🔗 Share this article Premier division: ten highlights to look out for this round of fixtures 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for another battle A Mancunian rematch may be in store as Burnley's Kyle Walker confronts the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The wide man is adapting well at Stamford Bridge after his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and displayed his abilities versus Wolverhampton before the national team interval. His setup for Pedro Neto mixed blistering pace with a ideal along-the-deck delivery. His creation for Malo Gusto involved cutting inside before chipping a ball toward the far post. His celebration with Neto, replicating his prior embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a indication of the speed at which circumstances change.

It is to be expected for a winger who has six goals and three helpers who is delightful to watch. Still, his team occupy an tricky position, having undergone a body swap: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who come in on back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth are down seven-one over two games over their last two games following an impressive start to the season.
