🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten highlights to watch for this matchday Walker faces Garnacho poised for another battle Another northwest showdown may be on the cards as the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The attacker is adapting well with Chelsea following his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and demonstrated his skills in the Wolves match before the fixture pause. His key pass for Pedro Neto combined rapid acceleration with a perfect low cross. His build-up for Malo Gusto involved shifting infield prior to lofting a ball toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, echoing his previous celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a indication of the speed at which situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho took on Walker? When the youngster netted for United in their cup final win over Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12.30pm (start times GMT) The winger vital to stopping Bournemouth's decline Antoine Semenyo is receiving the complete rumour-mill focus amid a reported £65m release clause for his possible January departure, the gossip columns preparing him for promotion from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. That is predictable from a wide player with a half-dozen strikes plus three setups who is joyous to watch. Nonetheless, his team find themselves in an awkward position, experiencing a form flip: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who come in on successive wins, while Bournemouth have been beaten seven to one on aggregate over their last two matches after an impressive opening to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved on the penalty by Emi Martínez in the heavy loss by Aston Villa but confronting a defensive unit that hasn't kept a goalless game for months could be the ideal tonic. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM The striker a surprise option for the national team It seemed notable to hear Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the fixture pause despite the fact that the Brighton striker turns 35 next week. “Without even being familiar with him, I know what he can give me,” stated the England manager. “He could serve as a reserve for Harry [Kane] in a quite traditional centre-forward role.” Having won the final 42 England games several years ago, it's quite plausible that Welbeck could be in the squad for the World Cup if he manages to maintain his goalscoring feats. The former Manchester United and Arsenal forward can claim a greater tally over every other English player in the top flight this campaign with six and will be anxious to boost that total as Brighton welcome Brentford on Saturday. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday three o'clock Ryan Sessegnon needed as assist provider and scorer Sessegnon's story has brought a measure of positivity to Fulham's bumpy opening. The left-sided player, who rejoined his boyhood club recently following five difficult years at Tottenham, is now a first-team fixture, driving down the left flank with the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The worry? On two goals, he is their joint-top scorer in the league alongside Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their leading man in the last term, has scored once while Rodrigo Muniz is out for the long term because of hamstring surgery. Sessegnon must also having to step up in a creative role in place of Robinson, who supplied 10 assists last season. Fulham's following four games take in three among the top five plus Crystal Palace, who have let in only nine scores in the Premier League so far. Danger looms for a team that have built a name for solidity in the central positions. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday 3pm 5. Time for Alexander Isak to deliver for Liverpool The dispute about Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort against Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's deficiencies during the match as they fell to loss number seven over ten fixtures. The manager's team must have a sustained recovery to enter the championship chase from here, along with a dramatic boost in performance, and a chance arises as seven out of their upcoming ten Premier League matches against teams presently in the bottom half in the league. The danger is clear from Nottingham Forest, the single club to inflict a home league defeat to Liverpool in the last term, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's display when facing direct play and quick transitions that will be in focus. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to show up in a Liverpool shirt. The big-money forward has not featured in domestic action over four weeks having sustained a groin problem during his second start in four days in the Champions League win abroad. Isak returned off the bench in Sweden's defeat by Switzerland but missed the subsequent dead rubber versus Slovenia to secure his fitness for next year's World Cup knockout rounds. A caution in that match might have made him ineligible. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
