🔗 Share this article English top flight: 10 things to keep an eye on this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker ready for another encounter A Manchester reunion could be in store as Burnley's Kyle Walker confronts the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The winger is adapting well at Stamford Bridge after his close-season transfer from Old Trafford and demonstrated his skills in the Wolves match prior to the international break. His assist for Pedro Neto blended blistering pace with a ideal along-the-deck delivery. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right prior to dinking a delivery to the back post. His goal reaction with Neto, replicating his prior celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a testament of the pace with which circumstances change. The previous occasion Garnacho faced Walker? When the Argentine scored for United in their cup final win over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12.30pm (start times GMT) 2. Semenyo key to ending Bournemouth's decline Antoine Semenyo is getting the entire transfer speculation treatment amid a alleged £65m buyout clause for his prospective mid-season move, the gossip columns positioning him for advancement from the Premier League's average tier. That is to be expected from a attacker with a half-dozen strikes and three assists and is joyous to watch. Still, Bournemouth find themselves in an difficult situation, having engaged in a form flip: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who enter with consecutive triumphs, whereas Bournemouth are down seven to one over two games over their past two matches after an impressive beginning to the season. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped on the penalty by Emi Martínez in their heavy loss by Aston Villa but taking on a backline lacking a goalless game for months could be the perfect solution. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm The striker a left-field shout for the Three Lions It seemed intriguing to hear Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck repeatedly throughout the fixture pause despite the fact that the Brighton striker reaches 35 next week. “Without even being familiar with him, I understand what he could offer me,” stated the England boss. “He might act as a reserve for Harry [Kane] playing a very conventional striker role.” Earning the last of his 42 England games back in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck might be selected to the World Cup assuming he manages to sustain his scoring exploits. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal attacker can claim more goals than any other English performer in the Premier League this term on six and will be eager to boost that count as Brighton host Brentford this weekend. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday 3pm The full-back required as playmaker and goalscorer The Ryan Sessegnon tale has brought a measure of positivity to Fulham's bumpy opening. The former Tottenham man, who came back to his boyhood club recently following five tough years with Spurs, has become a regular starter, driving down the left side in the absence of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The concern? With two goals, he's also their top goalscorer this season together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their top scorer in the last term, has bagged a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term due to a hamstring operation. Sessegnon is also having to step up as an assist provider replacing Robinson, who registered 10 assists last season. The Cottagers' next four matches take in three from the top five as well as Crystal Palace, who have allowed just nine scores this season this season. Trouble awaits for a team that have earned a name for solidity in the central positions. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm 5. Time for Isak to produce for the Merseyside club The dispute about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal against Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they fell to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. The coach's team require a consistent improvement to muscle into the league contest from this position, plus a major improvement in form, and the possibility arises with seven from their next 10 league games versus sides currently in the lower half in the league. The threat is clear from Nottingham Forest, the single club to deliver a loss at Anfield to the title holders last season, however it's not just Liverpool's performance when facing long balls and quick transitions that is under scrutiny. It is time for Alexander Isak to show up in a Liverpool shirt. The big-money forward has been absent in domestic action over four weeks after picking up a groin problem when making his second consecutive start over a short period in Europe victory in Germany. The striker came back as a substitute in the Swedish reverse against Switzerland but was rested Tuesday's dead rubber versus Slovenia to secure his fitness for the World Cup knockout rounds. A booking during the game would have ruled him out. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
