🔗 Share this article English top flight: 10 things to look out for this weekend Garnacho versus Walker poised for another battle Another northwest showdown might be in the offing as the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The attacker is finding his feet at Stamford Bridge following his off-season signing from Old Trafford and demonstrated his abilities in the Wolves match before the fixture pause. His setup for Pedro Neto mixed blistering pace with a perfect grounded ball. His build-up for Malo Gusto involved shifting infield prior to chipping a ball across the goalmouth. His goal reaction with Neto, echoing his earlier celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a testament of the pace with which circumstances change. The previous occasion Garnacho faced Walker? When the former scored for United in their Wembley triumph against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (all times GMT) Antoine Semenyo vital to stopping Bournemouth's slump Antoine Semenyo is receiving the complete transfer speculation focus amid a reported £65m escape clause for his potential mid-season move, the gossip columns setting him up for advancement out of the Premier League's middle class. It is understandable from a winger with a half-dozen strikes and three assists who is pleasurable to watch. Still, his team occupy an awkward position, having undergone a form flip: now it's the struggling side West Ham who arrive on back-to-back victories, while Bournemouth are down seven to one on aggregate in their last two matches after an promising start to the campaign. Semenyo had his effort saved from the spot by Emi Martínez in their heavy loss to Aston Villa however taking on a defence lacking a clean sheet for months might be the perfect solution. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm 3. Welbeck an outside option for the national team It seemed notable to hear Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion throughout the fixture pause although the Brighton striker celebrates 35 in the coming days. “Even without knowing him, I understand what he can provide,” stated the England boss. “He could serve as a reserve for Harry [Kane] in a quite orthodox centre-forward role.” Having won the last of his 42 England games several years ago, it's quite plausible that Welbeck could be selected to the World Cup if he manages to continue his scoring feats. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker boasts a greater tally compared to any English performer in the Premier League this campaign with six and is keen to add to that count as Brighton host Brentford this weekend. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday three o'clock 4. Sessegnon needed as playmaker and scorer The Ryan Sessegnon tale has offered a measure of comfort to Fulham's uneven opening. The left-sided player, who came back to his youth team last year following five difficult years in north London, is now a consistent pick, pushing forward on the left in the absence of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The concern? Having scored twice, he is their leading marksman in the Premier League alongside Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their leading man the previous campaign, has scored one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for an extended period due to a hamstring operation. Sessegnon is also having to step up in a creative role instead of Robinson, who provided ten helpers last time round. The Cottagers' following four fixtures take in three from the leading five and Crystal Palace, who have allowed just nine strikes in the league so far. Trouble awaits for a side that have built a name for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The moment for Alexander Isak to produce for the Reds The dispute regarding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike in the match with Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they succumbed to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. The manager's squad must have a prolonged upturn to enter the league contest from here, along with a major improvement in form, and a chance presents itself as seven out of their upcoming ten Premier League matches against teams at the moment in the bottom ten in the league. The risk is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the only team to inflict a loss at Anfield on the champions the previous campaign, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's showing versus aerial passes and quick transitions that remains under the spotlight. It is time that Alexander Isak to show up for Liverpool. The big-money forward has not played at club level for a month after picking up a groin problem while his second consecutive start in four days in the Champions League triumph at Eintracht Frankfurt. He reappeared off the bench in Sweden's defeat against Switzerland but sat out Tuesday's inconsequential game versus Slovenia to secure his fitness for next year's World Cup qualifiers. A yellow card on Tuesday would have ruled him out. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
