🔗 Share this article English top flight: 10 things to watch for this round of fixtures 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for another battle Another northwest showdown may be in store as Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The wide man is finding his feet at Stamford Bridge following his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and demonstrated his skills against Wolves prior to the national team interval. His assist for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed with a perfect along-the-deck delivery. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right before dinking a ball across the goalmouth. His goal reaction with Neto, echoing his earlier hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a indication of the pace with which things transform. The last time Garnacho took on Walker? During the former scored for United in the Wembley triumph against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon half past twelve (kick-offs GMT) The winger key to stopping Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is receiving the full gossip column treatment due to a alleged £65m buyout clause for his potential January departure, the media setting him up for graduation from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. It is understandable from a attacker with six finishes plus three assists who is delightful to watch. Still, his side find themselves in an difficult position, having engaged in a form flip: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who enter on back-to-back victories, while Bournemouth have been beaten seven-one over two games over their past two matches after an promising opening to the season. Semenyo was denied from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa however taking on a defensive unit that hasn't kept a shutout in the league since the start of the season could be the best tonic. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM Danny Welbeck an outside shout for the Three Lions It was interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion throughout the national team window despite the fact that the Brighton forward reaches 35 soon. “Even without having met him, I am aware what he can offer me,” stated the England manager. “He might act as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] playing a very traditional centre-forward role.” Earning the final 42 international appearances several years ago, it's quite plausible that Welbeck could be in the squad for the World Cup assuming he can sustain his goal-getting feats. The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker boasts more goals compared to any English footballer in the top flight this season on six and remains keen to increase that count as Brighton host Brentford on Saturday. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon needed as playmaker and finisher Sessegnon's story has brought a measure of comfort to Fulham's inconsistent opening. The 25-year-old, who returned to his youth team recently following five difficult years in north London, has become a regular starter, driving down the left side due to the injury of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The issue? Having scored twice, he remains their leading marksman this season together with Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their top scorer in the last term, has scored one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for an extended period because of a hamstring operation. Additionally, Sessegnon being required to contribute as a creator in place of Robinson, who supplied ten helpers last time round. Fulham's upcoming four matches take in three from the best five plus Crystal Palace, who have let in only nine scores this season this season. Danger looms for a team that have built a name for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm The moment for The striker to perform for the Reds The dispute about Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort versus Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's deficiencies on the day as they fell to loss number seven over ten fixtures. The manager's team require a consistent improvement to muscle into the title race from their current spot, plus a dramatic boost in performance, and the possibility arises with seven of their following ten Premier League matches versus teams currently in the bottom ten of the table. The threat is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to inflict a loss at Anfield on the champions the previous campaign, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's performance when facing direct play and quick transitions that is under scrutiny. It is time for Alexander Isak to perform for Liverpool. The £125m striker has been absent for his club over four weeks having sustained a muscle issue while his second consecutive start over a short period in continental competition win abroad. Isak returned from the bench in the Swedish defeat by Switzerland but missed the subsequent meaningless match with Slovenia to guarantee his availability for the upcoming World Cup knockout rounds. A yellow card in that match would have made him ineligible. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
