Garnacho settles on Chelsea’s left as Burnley test his mettle; Semenyo and Isak loom for big fixtures
Semenyo could lift Bournemouth, and Isak needs to show up for Liverpool as the north London derby injuries bite.
A Mancunian reunion of sorts hovers as Kyle Walker of Burnley faces Garnacho on Chelsea’s left at Turf Moor.
The winger has settled at Stamford Bridge after his summer move from Manchester United.
He showcased his range against Wolves before the international break.
His assist for Pedro Neto combined pace with a precise ball along the carpet.
His setup for Malo Gusto involved switching to his right foot and delivering a dinked cross.
The celebration with Neto mirrored his embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Hojlund.
That moment reminded fans how quickly fortunes can shift.
The last time Garnacho faced Walker the Manchester United winger scored in an FA Cup final win over City.
TLDR
Garnacho is finding his footing on Chelsea’s left with Neto linked in dangerous fashion.
Semenyo could lift Bournemouth while Isak must shine for Liverpool.
Walker versus Garnacho foreshadows a weekend of cross city echoes.
