🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten key points to look out for this matchday Walker faces Garnacho poised for a new encounter A Mancunian rematch could be in store when the Clarets' Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The wide man is finding his feet at Stamford Bridge following his off-season signing from Old Trafford and showcased his skills in the Wolves match prior to the fixture pause. His setup for Pedro Neto combined electric speed with a flawless along-the-deck delivery. His contribution for Malo Gusto entailed moving onto his right prior to dinking a ball across the goalmouth. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his previous celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a reminder of the pace with which situations evolve. The most recent instance Garnacho faced Walker? When the youngster netted for United in their Wembley triumph against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (start times GMT) Antoine Semenyo vital to stopping Bournemouth's decline Antoine Semenyo is getting the entire rumour-mill treatment following a alleged £65m escape clause for his prospective winter exit, the media positioning him for graduation out of the Premier League's average tier. It is understandable for a attacker who has six finishes plus three setups and remains delightful to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth occupy an difficult situation, experiencing a form flip: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who enter on consecutive triumphs, whereas Bournemouth have lost seven to one on aggregate in their previous two matches following an strong beginning to the campaign. Semenyo was denied from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in their 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa however taking on a defence lacking a goalless game for months could be the ideal tonic. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm 3. Welbeck a left-field option for England It seemed notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion throughout the national team window despite the fact that the Brighton attacker reaches 35 next week. “Despite not knowing him, I know what he could provide,” commented the England coach. “He might act as a reserve for Harry [Kane] as a very conventional No 9 position.” Earning the last of his 42 caps back in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck might be in the squad to the World Cup assuming he manages to continue his goalscoring performances. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal attacker can claim a greater tally over every other English performer in the Premier League this season having six and remains eager to boost that total as Brighton entertain Brentford on Saturday. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM The full-back needed as assist provider and goalscorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has provided a degree of comfort to Fulham's bumpy beginning. The 25-year-old, who rejoined his youth team recently after five tough years in north London, has become a consistent pick, pushing forward on the left side due to the injury of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The issue? Having scored twice, he is their leading marksman in the league together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their leading man in the last term, has netted one goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out for an extended period due to a surgical procedure. Sessegnon is also being required to contribute as a creator in place of Robinson, who provided 10 assists last season. Fulham's following four fixtures feature three of the leading five plus Crystal Palace, who have allowed only nine strikes in the league so far. Trouble awaits for the club that have built a reputation for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday 3pm The occasion for Alexander Isak to perform for the Reds The controversy regarding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike versus Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they lost to loss number seven in ten matches. The coach's team require a consistent improvement to muscle into the league contest from here, along with a significant improvement in form, and a chance arises as seven of their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures versus teams at the moment in the lower half in the league. The threat is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the sole side to deliver a loss at Anfield to Liverpool in the last term, but it is not only Liverpool's performance versus aerial passes and fast breaks that remains in focus. It is time for Alexander Isak to show up in a Liverpool shirt. The big-money forward has not featured for his club in a month having sustained a muscle issue during his second start in quick succession in Europe victory abroad. Isak returned off the bench in Sweden's loss to Switzerland but was rested the midweek meaningless match versus Slovenia to ensure his readiness for the World Cup playoffs.
