🔗 Share this article English top flight: 10 things to keep an eye on this weekend Garnacho versus Walker set for a new battle Another northwest showdown may be in the offing as Burnley's Kyle Walker faces the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The attacker is finding his feet with Chelsea following his off-season signing from the Red Devils and displayed his talents in the Wolves match prior to the fixture pause. His assist for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed and a flawless along-the-deck delivery. His creation for Malo Gusto required cutting inside prior to lofting a delivery toward the far post. His goal reaction with Neto, replicating his prior hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a testament of how quickly circumstances change. The last time Garnacho faced Walker? When the former found the net for United during their FA Cup final victory against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12.30pm (start times GMT) Antoine Semenyo key to ending Bournemouth's decline Antoine Semenyo is attracting the entire transfer speculation focus amid a claimed £65m release clause for a potential winter exit, the media setting him up for graduation from the Premier League's middle class. It is understandable from a winger who has a half-dozen strikes plus three assists who is joyous to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth are in an difficult spot, having undergone a form flip: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who enter on back-to-back victories, while Bournemouth have lost 7-1 on aggregate over their previous two games after an promising beginning to the campaign. Semenyo was denied from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in the 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa however taking on a defensive unit that hasn't kept a shutout for months could be the perfect solution. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm 3. Welbeck a left-field choice for England It seemed notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the international break although the Brighton striker reaches 35 next week. “Even without having met him, I understand what he can give me,” stated the England boss. “He might act as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] playing a quite traditional striker role.” Earning the final 42 caps back in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck may be selected for the World Cup if he can continue his goalscoring feats. The former Manchester United and Arsenal attacker boasts more goals compared to any English performer in the top flight this term with six and will be keen to boost that total as Brighton welcome Brentford this weekend. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday 3:00 PM The full-back crucial as creator and scorer The Ryan Sessegnon tale has brought a degree of warmth to Fulham's uneven opening. The 25-year-old, who came back to his boyhood club recently following five tough years at Tottenham, is now a consistent pick, pushing forward on the left side in the absence of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The issue? With two goals, he remains their leading marksman in the Premier League as well as Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their top scorer last season, has bagged once while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for an extended period because of a hamstring operation. Sessegnon is also having to step up as a creator instead of Robinson, who provided ten setups in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' upcoming four games take in three of the best five as well as Crystal Palace, who have allowed only nine goals this season to date. A threat emerges for a team that have built a standing for mid-table stability. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday 3pm The moment for Isak to produce for the Merseyside club The dispute regarding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort against Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's inferiority in that game as they succumbed to their seventh loss over ten fixtures. Arne Slot's team need a sustained recovery to muscle into the title race from here, along with a major boost in performance, and a chance emerges as seven out of their next 10 league games facing teams currently in the lower half in the standings. The threat is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to deliver a defeat on their own turf to the title holders the previous campaign, but it is not only Liverpool's showing versus direct play and counterattacks that is in focus. It is time for Alexander Isak to deliver for Liverpool. The expensive signing has been absent at club level in a month after picking up a groin injury when making his second consecutive start in four days in Europe triumph in Germany. Isak returned from the bench in Sweden's reverse by Switzerland but was rested Tuesday's meaningless match with Slovenia to ensure his availability for next year's World Cup qualifiers. A yellow card on Tuesday could have suspended him. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
