🔗 Share this article English top flight: 10 things to keep an eye on this round of fixtures 1. Garnacho and Walker set for a new clash A Manchester reunion might be in the offing as the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The attacker has started to settle with Chelsea after his off-season signing from Old Trafford and demonstrated his abilities versus Wolverhampton before the international break. His assist for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed and a ideal low cross. His build-up for Malo Gusto entailed moving onto his right prior to dinking a ball to the back post. His celebration with Neto, echoing his previous celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a testament of how quickly circumstances change. The most recent instance Garnacho faced Walker? Back when the youngster netted for United during their FA Cup final victory against Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (all times GMT) 2. Semenyo vital to stopping Cherries' decline Antoine Semenyo is attracting the complete rumour-mill focus due to a alleged £65m buyout clause for a potential mid-season move, the gossip columns positioning him for promotion out of the Premier League's average tier. That is understandable from a attacker who has six goals plus three setups and remains delightful to watch. Still, Bournemouth occupy an difficult situation, having undergone a body swap: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who enter with consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth are down seven-one over two games in their past two games after an strong opening to the campaign. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez during the heavy loss by Aston Villa yet facing a defensive unit that hasn't kept a shutout for months may prove the ideal tonic. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm Danny Welbeck a surprise choice for the Three Lions It was intriguing to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck multiple times during the national team window even though the Brighton forward reaches 35 in the coming days. “Without even being familiar with him, I am aware what he could provide,” said the England boss. “He can be a stand-in for Harry [Kane] playing a very conventional centre-forward role.” Having won the most recent of his 42 international appearances in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck might be in the squad to the World Cup if he can maintain his scoring performances. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker has more goals over every other English footballer in the Premier League this term on six and is eager to add to that tally when Brighton welcome Brentford on Saturday. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday 3pm The full-back required as playmaker and goalscorer Sessegnon's story has brought a measure of warmth to Fulham's uneven beginning. The former Tottenham man, who rejoined his former side last year after five challenging years in north London, has emerged as a regular starter, driving down the left side with the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The worry? Having scored twice, he remains their leading marksman in the Premier League alongside Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their leading man in the last term, has bagged a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term because of a hamstring operation. Additionally, Sessegnon having to step up as a creator in place of Robinson, who registered ten setups last time round. Fulham's next four games include three from the leading five plus Crystal Palace, who have let in only nine scores in the league this season. Danger looms for a side that have developed a name for mid-table stability. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday 3pm The occasion for Isak to perform for Liverpool The debate about Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort versus Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's deficiencies during the match as they lost to their seventh loss in ten matches. The manager's side need a consistent improvement to muscle into the championship chase from their current spot, as well as a major upturn in results, and opportunity presents itself as seven of their next 10 Premier League matches against clubs presently in the lower half in the standings. The risk is obvious posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to deliver a defeat on their own turf to Liverpool in the last term, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's display versus long balls and fast breaks that remains under scrutiny. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to show up for Liverpool. The big-money forward has been absent for his club in a month following a muscle issue when making his second appearance in the lineup in four days in the Champions League win abroad. The striker came back as a substitute during Sweden's defeat by Switzerland but was rested the subsequent inconsequential game against Slovenia to guarantee his availability for the upcoming World Cup playoffs. A booking during the game could have suspended him. He might be short of|lacking|deficient
