🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten highlights to keep an eye on this matchday Garnacho versus Walker ready for a fresh battle A Mancunian rematch could be in store when the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The wide man is adapting well in west London following his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and displayed his skills versus Wolverhampton prior to the national team interval. His assist for Pedro Neto combined electric speed and a ideal grounded ball. His contribution for Malo Gusto entailed cutting inside prior to lofting a ball across the goalmouth. His goal reaction with Neto, replicating his prior embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a indication of the pace with which things transform. The last time Garnacho took on Walker? During the Argentine found the net for United in their Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12.30pm (start times GMT) Antoine Semenyo vital to halting Cherries' slump Antoine Semenyo is attracting the entire rumour-mill focus following a claimed £65m release clause for his potential winter exit, the gossip columns setting him up for promotion from the Premier League's middle class. That is understandable from a winger with six finishes and three helpers and remains delightful to watch. However, Bournemouth occupy an awkward spot, having engaged in a role reversal: now it's the struggling side West Ham who arrive on consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have lost seven to one combined in their last two fixtures after an promising start to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in their 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa however facing a defensive unit that hasn't kept a goalless game since August may prove the best tonic. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm Danny Welbeck a surprise shout for the national team It proved interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the national team window despite the fact that the Brighton striker celebrates 35 soon. “Despite not having met him, I know what he can offer me,” stated the England manager. “He could serve as a back-up for Harry [Kane] as a quite traditional striker role.” Earning the most recent of his 42 international appearances several years ago, it's quite plausible that Welbeck could be in the squad for the World Cup if he can sustain his goalscoring feats. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal forward boasts additional strikes compared to any English performer in the top flight this term having six and is eager to boost that count when Brighton host Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday 3:00 PM The full-back required as assist provider and finisher The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has provided some positivity to Fulham's inconsistent opening. The former Tottenham man, who returned to his former side last year following five tough years at Tottenham, has become a first-team fixture, driving down the left with the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The issue? Having scored twice, he remains their joint-top scorer in the Premier League as well as Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their top scorer last season, has bagged a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is injured until 2026 because of a surgical procedure. Sessegnon is also being required to contribute as a creator in place of Robinson, who registered ten setups in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' following four fixtures feature three from the leading five as well as Crystal Palace, who have allowed only nine scores in the league this season. Trouble awaits for a side that have earned a reputation for mid-table stability. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The moment for The striker to deliver for the Merseyside club The dispute surrounding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike in the match with Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's deficiencies during the match as they succumbed to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. The manager's side require a consistent improvement to force their way into the championship chase from here, as well as a dramatic improvement in form, and opportunity emerges with seven from their next 10 league games versus teams presently in the lower half in the standings. The risk is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to deliver a loss at Anfield to the title holders the previous campaign, but it is not only Liverpool's showing versus direct play and counterattacks that is under the spotlight. It is time that Alexander Isak to deliver for Liverpool. The expensive signing has not featured for his club for a month having sustained a groin problem while his second start in four days in Europe win at Eintracht Frankfurt. He reappeared from the bench in the Swedish defeat by Switzerland but sat out the subsequent meaningless match versus Slovenia to guarantee his readiness for the World Cup playoffs. A booking in that match would have made him ineligible. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
