🔗 Share this article English top flight: 10 things to watch for this weekend 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for another clash Another northwest showdown could be in store as the Clarets' Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The wide man has started to settle with Chelsea following his close-season transfer from Manchester United and demonstrated his skills against Wolves prior to the fixture pause. His key pass for Pedro Neto mixed blistering pace and a ideal low cross. His build-up for Malo Gusto involved cutting inside before dinking a cross toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his previous celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a reminder of the pace with which situations evolve. The most recent instance Garnacho faced Walker? Back when the former netted for United during their Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (all times GMT) Antoine Semenyo crucial to halting Cherries' decline Antoine Semenyo is attracting the full rumour-mill attention due to a alleged £65m buyout clause for a potential winter exit, the media preparing him for promotion from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. This is predictable from a wide player who has six goals and three setups and remains joyous to watch. Still, his side occupy an difficult spot, having engaged in a body swap: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who enter on back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten 7-1 combined in their past two matches after an promising opening to the campaign. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the spot by Emi Martínez during the four-nil loss by Aston Villa yet taking on a backline lacking a shutout in the league since the start of the season might be the best remedy. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday three o'clock 3. Welbeck an outside choice for England It was interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the national team window even though the Brighton attacker reaches 35 in the coming days. “Without even having met him, I know what he could provide,” stated the England boss. “He might act as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] as a very orthodox centre-forward position.” Gaining the final 42 international appearances in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be selected for the World Cup provided he manages to continue his scoring performances. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker can claim a greater tally compared to any English player in the Premier League this campaign having six and remains anxious to add to that count as Brighton entertain Brentford on Saturday. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday three o'clock Ryan Sessegnon crucial as playmaker and finisher The Ryan Sessegnon tale has brought some positivity to Fulham's inconsistent start. The former Tottenham man, who came back to his boyhood club recently after five difficult years in north London, is now a first-team fixture, pushing forward on the left flank with the injured Antonee Robinson. The concern? With two goals, he is their joint-top scorer in the league together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their top scorer last season, has bagged a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is injured until 2026 because of hamstring surgery. Additionally, Sessegnon being required to contribute in a creative role in place of Robinson, who supplied ten setups last time round. The Cottagers' upcoming four fixtures take in three of the leading five and Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine goals in the league so far. A threat emerges for a team that have built a reputation for mid-table stability. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday three o'clock The moment for The striker to deliver for the Reds The dispute regarding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike against Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's shortcomings on the day as they fell to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. The coach's squad require a sustained recovery to enter the title race from this position, as well as a major improvement in form, and the possibility emerges with seven of their upcoming ten Premier League matches versus teams at the moment in the bottom half of the table. The threat is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the sole side to hand a defeat on their own turf on the champions last season, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's display when facing aerial passes and quick transitions that remains under scrutiny. The moment has come for Alexander Isak to perform for Liverpool. The expensive signing has not played in domestic action for a month following a groin problem during his second start in four days in Europe triumph at Eintracht Frankfurt. Isak returned as a substitute in the Swedish reverse against Switzerland but was rested Tuesday's meaningless match versus Slovenia to guarantee his availability for the upcoming World Cup playoffs. A yellow card during the game might have made him ineligible. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
