🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten key points to keep an eye on this weekend 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for another clash A Mancunian rematch could be in store when the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The attacker is adapting well at Stamford Bridge after his off-season signing from the Red Devils and demonstrated his abilities versus Wolverhampton prior to the fixture pause. His assist for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed with a flawless grounded ball. His creation for Malo Gusto required cutting inside before chipping a delivery to the back post. His goal reaction with Neto, echoing his previous hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a reminder of the pace with which situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho faced Walker? During the youngster netted for United during their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (all times GMT) Antoine Semenyo key to halting Cherries' decline Antoine Semenyo is getting the full gossip column treatment amid a claimed £65m escape clause for his potential winter exit, the gossip columns positioning him for graduation out of the Premier League's average tier. It is understandable from a wide player who has a half-dozen strikes plus three assists and is delightful to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth are in an awkward position, experiencing a role reversal: it is the struggling side West Ham who come in with consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth are down seven-one on aggregate over their previous two fixtures following an strong beginning to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved from the spot by Emi Martínez in their heavy loss by Aston Villa however facing a defensive unit that hasn't kept a goalless game since August could be the ideal solution. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday 3pm The striker an outside choice for England It was interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck multiple times throughout the national team window although the Brighton attacker reaches 35 soon. “Despite not knowing him, I am aware what he can give me,” stated the England manager. “He could serve as a back-up for Harry [Kane] in a very orthodox striker role.” Gaining the most recent of his 42 international appearances in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck may be on the plane to the World Cup provided he manages to maintain his goal-getting exploits. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal forward has a greater tally over every other English performer in the Premier League this term with six and remains eager to add to that total as Brighton welcome Brentford this weekend. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday three o'clock The full-back required as playmaker and finisher The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has offered some positivity to Fulham's inconsistent beginning. The 25-year-old, who rejoined his boyhood club last year after five challenging years in north London, has emerged as a first-team fixture, driving down the left flank in the absence of the injured Antonee Robinson. The issue? Having scored twice, he is their leading marksman this season as well as Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their primary attacker last season, has netted one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is out for the long term owing to a surgical procedure. Sessegnon is also needing to deliver in a creative role instead of Robinson, who registered ten helpers last season. Fulham's following four fixtures take in three from the top five as well as Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine scores in the Premier League to date. Trouble awaits for a side that have earned a standing for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday three o'clock The occasion for Isak to deliver for the Reds The dispute surrounding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike against Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's inferiority during the match as they lost to their seventh loss over ten fixtures. Arne Slot's side need a sustained recovery to force their way into the championship chase from their current spot, along with a major upturn in results, and opportunity arises with seven from their upcoming ten Premier League matches versus sides at the moment in the bottom half in the league. The risk is clear from Nottingham Forest, the sole side to inflict a defeat on their own turf on the champions the previous campaign, but it is not only Liverpool's performance versus long balls and quick transitions that remains under scrutiny. It is time that Alexander Isak to perform in a Liverpool shirt. The expensive signing has been absent at club level in a month following a groin injury during his second consecutive start in four days in the Champions League victory in Germany. Isak returned as a substitute in Sweden's reverse by Switzerland but sat out the midweek dead rubber against Slovenia to ensure his availability for next year's World Cup knockout rounds. A booking during the game could have made him ineligible. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
