🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten highlights to look out for this round of fixtures 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for another battle A Mancunian rematch could be in the offing as Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The wide man is finding his feet with Chelsea following his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and demonstrated his skills in the Wolves match before the fixture pause. His setup for Pedro Neto blended blistering pace and a ideal grounded ball. His build-up for Malo Gusto involved cutting inside prior to dinking a delivery to the back post. His joyous moment with Neto, echoing his prior embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a reminder of the speed at which circumstances change. The previous occasion Garnacho encountered Walker? When the former scored for United in their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (all times GMT) 2. Semenyo key to stopping Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is attracting the complete transfer speculation treatment following a alleged £65m release clause for a prospective mid-season move, the gossip columns setting him up for promotion out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. It is predictable from a attacker who has six goals and three assists and is pleasurable to watch. However, Bournemouth find themselves in an tricky spot, experiencing a role reversal: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who enter with successive wins, whereas Bournemouth are down 7-1 combined in their previous two fixtures following an impressive start to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez during the heavy loss to Aston Villa however facing a defensive unit that hasn't kept a goalless game in the league since the start of the season could be the ideal tonic. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM The striker an outside choice for the Three Lions It seemed intriguing to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck repeatedly throughout the fixture pause although the Brighton forward reaches 35 next week. “Despite not being familiar with him, I am aware what he can give me,” said the England boss. “He might act as a reserve for Harry [Kane] as a very traditional No 9 position.” Earning the most recent of his 42 caps in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck might be on the plane to the World Cup provided he is able to continue his scoring feats. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal attacker can claim more goals over every other English performer in the Premier League this season having six and will be anxious to boost that tally as Brighton welcome Brentford this weekend. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday 3pm Ryan Sessegnon needed as creator and finisher The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has provided a measure of warmth to Fulham's inconsistent opening. The left-sided player, who rejoined his youth team recently after five difficult years in north London, is now a regular starter, driving down the left with the injured Antonee Robinson. The issue? Having scored twice, he is their leading marksman in the Premier League alongside Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their leading man last season, has scored a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term due to hamstring surgery. Sessegnon must also being required to contribute in a creative role replacing Robinson, who supplied 10 assists last season. The Cottagers' next four games include three of the best five as well as Crystal Palace, who have allowed merely nine strikes in the league so far. Danger looms for the club that have earned a name for consistency in the middle. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM The moment for Isak to perform for Liverpool The debate about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal against Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they lost to their seventh loss over ten fixtures. The manager's team require a sustained recovery to muscle into the league contest from their current spot, plus a significant upturn in results, and a chance emerges with seven of their next 10 top-flight fixtures facing clubs currently in the lower half in the league. The threat is evident from Nottingham Forest, the only team to inflict a loss at Anfield to the title holders last season, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's showing versus aerial passes and fast breaks that remains under scrutiny. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to deliver wearing red. The expensive signing has been absent for his club over four weeks having sustained a groin problem when making his second appearance in the lineup in four days in the Champions League triumph in Germany. He reappeared from the bench in the Swedish defeat to Switzerland but sat out the subsequent dead rubber with Slovenia to secure his readiness for next year's World Cup qualifiers. A booking on Tuesday might have suspended him. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
