🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten key points to keep an eye on this weekend Walker faces Garnacho ready for another encounter A Mancunian rematch might be on the cards as Burnley's Kyle Walker faces the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The winger is adapting well with Chelsea after his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and demonstrated his talents in the Wolves match before the international break. His setup for Pedro Neto blended electric speed and a flawless along-the-deck delivery. His build-up for Malo Gusto entailed moving onto his right prior to lofting a delivery across the goalmouth. His celebration with Neto, replicating his previous hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a reminder of the pace with which situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho faced Walker? Back when the Argentine scored for United in their FA Cup final victory against Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12.30pm (all times GMT) 2. Semenyo key to ending Cherries' decline Antoine Semenyo is attracting the full rumour-mill treatment amid a claimed £65m release clause for a potential mid-season move, the gossip columns setting him up for promotion from the Premier League's average tier. It is to be expected from a attacker who has six goals and three assists who is delightful to watch. Nonetheless, his team are in an awkward spot, having engaged in a role reversal: now it's the bottom-half team West Ham who enter on consecutive triumphs, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven to one on aggregate over their past two fixtures after an impressive start to the season. Semenyo had his effort saved from the spot by Emi Martínez in the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa however taking on a defence without a clean sheet for months might be the ideal remedy. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday 3pm Danny Welbeck a surprise shout for the national team It proved notable to hear Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the national team window although the Brighton striker turns 35 soon. “Without even having met him, I am aware what he could provide,” said the England boss. “He might act as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] playing a quite traditional No 9 role.” Earning the final 42 England games several years ago, it's quite plausible that Welbeck might be in the squad for the World Cup provided he can maintain his scoring exploits. The former Manchester United and Arsenal forward boasts additional strikes compared to any English footballer in the top flight this season on six and remains anxious to boost that total when Brighton welcome Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock 4. Sessegnon needed as creator and finisher The Ryan Sessegnon tale has offered a measure of warmth to Fulham's inconsistent beginning. The 25-year-old, who returned to his boyhood club recently after five difficult years with Spurs, has become a regular starter, pushing forward on the left flank with the injured Antonee Robinson. The worry? With two goals, he remains their top goalscorer this season as well as Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their leading man last season, has bagged one goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out until 2026 because of a hamstring operation. Sessegnon is also having to step up as an assist provider in place of Robinson, who registered ten helpers last time round. The Cottagers' upcoming four matches include three among the best five and Crystal Palace, who have allowed only nine scores in the Premier League to date. Danger looms for a team that have built a reputation for consistency in the middle. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm The moment for Isak to deliver for the Reds The dispute regarding Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal in the match with Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's deficiencies during the match as they succumbed to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. The coach's team need a sustained recovery to enter the league contest from their current spot, as well as a dramatic upturn in results, and opportunity presents itself with seven from their upcoming ten top-flight fixtures against clubs presently in the bottom half of the table. The risk is evident from Nottingham Forest, the only team to inflict a defeat on their own turf to the title holders in the last term, but it is not only Liverpool's showing against direct play and counterattacks that will be in focus. It is time that Alexander Isak to perform in a Liverpool shirt. The expensive signing has not played in domestic action in a month following a groin injury when making his second appearance in the lineup in four days in the Champions League triumph abroad. The striker came back off the bench in the Swedish reverse against Switzerland but sat out Tuesday's inconsequential game against Slovenia to guarantee his readiness for the upcoming World Cup playoffs. A caution in that match would have suspended him. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
