🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten highlights to look out for this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker ready for a new encounter A Manchester reunion might be on the cards when Burnley's Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The winger is finding his feet with Chelsea following his close-season transfer from the Red Devils and demonstrated his talents against Wolves before the international break. His key pass for Pedro Neto combined rapid acceleration and a flawless along-the-deck delivery. His creation for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right before chipping a cross to the back post. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his prior hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a testament of the speed at which situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho faced Walker? During the Argentine scored for United during their cup final win against Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday half past twelve (kick-offs GMT) 2. Semenyo crucial to halting Cherries' slide Antoine Semenyo is receiving the full transfer speculation focus amid a claimed £65m escape clause for his potential winter exit, the tabloids setting him up for graduation from the Premier League's middle class. This is predictable from a wide player with six goals plus three helpers who is pleasurable to watch. However, his team are in an awkward position, having undergone a body swap: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who come in with successive wins, whereas Bournemouth have lost seven-one over two games in their last two matches following an strong beginning to the campaign. Semenyo had his effort saved from the spot by Emi Martínez during the four-nil loss by Aston Villa however confronting a backline without a shutout in the league since the start of the season could be the perfect remedy. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM The striker a left-field choice for the Three Lions It seemed notable to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the national team window even though the Brighton forward turns 35 next week. “Even without being familiar with him, I am aware what he is able to offer me,” commented the England coach. “He could serve as a back-up for Harry [Kane] playing a quite orthodox No 9 position.” Having won the final 42 caps in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck may be on the plane to the World Cup provided he is able to sustain his goalscoring performances. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker boasts a greater tally over every other English player in England's top division this term with six and remains keen to add to that tally when Brighton host Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday 3pm 4. Sessegnon needed as creator and finisher Sessegnon's story has offered a measure of comfort to Fulham's bumpy opening. The former Tottenham man, who rejoined his youth team recently after five difficult years at Tottenham, has emerged as a consistent pick, pushing forward on the left with the injured Antonee Robinson. The issue? With two goals, he's also their top goalscorer in the league alongside Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their leading man the previous campaign, has scored once while Rodrigo Muniz is injured until 2026 owing to a surgical procedure. Sessegnon must also having to step up in a creative role instead of Robinson, who provided ten setups last season. Fulham's upcoming four matches feature three from the top five plus Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine goals in the Premier League this season. Danger looms for the club that have built a standing for solidity in the central positions. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday 3pm 5. Time for Alexander Isak to produce for the Reds The dispute surrounding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike against Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's shortcomings during the match as they succumbed to loss number seven in 10 games. The coach's side require a consistent improvement to enter the league contest from this position, plus a major improvement in form, and opportunity arises with seven from their upcoming ten Premier League matches against teams at the moment in the bottom half in the standings. The danger is obvious posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to deliver a loss at Anfield to Liverpool last season, but it is not only Liverpool's performance when facing long balls and fast breaks that will be in focus. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to show up wearing red. The big-money forward has been absent at club level for a month following a groin problem when making his second appearance in the lineup over a short period in Europe victory in Germany. He reappeared from the bench in the Swedish loss by Switzerland but missed the subsequent dead rubber versus Slovenia to guarantee his readiness for next year's World Cup playoffs.
