🔗 Share this article English top flight: 10 things to look out for this weekend 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for a fresh encounter Another northwest showdown may be on the cards as the Clarets' Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The attacker is adapting well in west London after his off-season signing from the Red Devils and displayed his skills against Wolves prior to the national team interval. His setup for Pedro Neto blended electric speed with a flawless low cross. His build-up for Malo Gusto entailed shifting infield prior to dinking a delivery toward the far post. His celebration with Neto, replicating his prior hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a testament of the speed at which things transform. The most recent instance Garnacho took on Walker? Back when the Argentine scored for United in the FA Cup final victory against Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (all times GMT) The winger crucial to ending Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is getting the entire gossip column attention following a alleged £65m escape clause for his prospective January departure, the media positioning him for graduation out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. This is predictable from a winger with six goals plus three setups and is joyous to watch. Still, his team occupy an tricky spot, having undergone a form flip: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who enter on successive wins, whereas Bournemouth have lost seven to one over two games in their previous two fixtures following an promising beginning to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved from the spot by Emi Martínez in the 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa however confronting a backline that hasn't kept a goalless game for months might be the perfect tonic. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday 3pm The striker a left-field shout for the national team It proved intriguing to hear Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck multiple times during the international break although the Brighton striker celebrates 35 soon. “Even without having met him, I am aware what he is able to provide,” said the England coach. “He could serve as a reserve for Harry [Kane] in a very conventional centre-forward position.” Gaining the most recent of his 42 England games in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck could be on the plane to the World Cup assuming he manages to continue his scoring feats. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has additional strikes than any other English player in the top flight this campaign with six and is eager to boost that tally when Brighton host Brentford on Saturday. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3pm 4. Sessegnon crucial as playmaker and goalscorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has provided a degree of comfort to Fulham's inconsistent opening. The former Tottenham man, who rejoined his youth team recently following five challenging years in north London, has become a regular starter, pushing forward on the left due to the injury of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The concern? On two goals, he remains their joint-top scorer in the Premier League together with Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their leading man in the last term, has netted a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is injured for an extended period because of a surgical procedure. Sessegnon is also needing to deliver as a creator instead of Robinson, who supplied 10 assists last season. Fulham's next four fixtures include three of the best five as well as Crystal Palace, who have allowed only nine goals in the Premier League this season. Trouble awaits for the club that have built a standing for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday three o'clock The moment for Alexander Isak to perform for the Merseyside club The dispute surrounding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort against Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's inferiority in that game as they succumbed to their seventh loss over ten fixtures. Arne Slot's side require a consistent improvement to muscle into the league contest from this position, as well as a major improvement in form, and opportunity presents itself with seven of their following ten league games against clubs presently in the bottom half in the league. The risk is obvious posed by Nottingham Forest, the sole side to deliver a home league defeat to Liverpool the previous campaign, however it's not just Liverpool's performance versus long balls and quick transitions that will be in focus. It is time for Alexander Isak to deliver in a Liverpool shirt. The expensive signing has been absent in domestic action in a month after picking up a muscle issue when making his second appearance in the lineup in four days in Europe triumph abroad. He reappeared as a substitute in Sweden's reverse to Switzerland but sat out the subsequent dead rubber with Slovenia to guarantee his availability for the upcoming World Cup playoffs.
