🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten key points to keep an eye on this round of fixtures Garnacho versus Walker set for a fresh battle A Mancunian rematch might be in the offing as Burnley's Kyle Walker confronts the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The attacker is adapting well with Chelsea following his off-season signing from Old Trafford and demonstrated his skills in the Wolves match prior to the fixture pause. His setup for Pedro Neto combined electric speed and a perfect along-the-deck delivery. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved cutting inside before dinking a ball across the goalmouth. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his previous hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a testament of the speed at which situations evolve. The last time Garnacho faced Walker? During the former netted for United in the FA Cup final victory against Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday 12.30pm (start times GMT) The winger key to ending Cherries' decline Antoine Semenyo is receiving the complete gossip column focus amid a claimed £65m escape clause for a possible January departure, the tabloids setting him up for promotion from the Premier League's middle class. That is understandable for a attacker with six finishes and three assists and is delightful to watch. Still, his team are in an tricky spot, experiencing a role reversal: now it's the struggling side West Ham who come in on consecutive triumphs, whereas Bournemouth are down seven-one combined in their last two games after an promising beginning to the campaign. Semenyo had his effort saved on the penalty by Emi Martínez in the heavy loss to Aston Villa however confronting a defensive unit lacking a goalless game for months could be the ideal remedy. Bournemouth versus West Ham, Saturday three o'clock Danny Welbeck a surprise shout for England It seemed interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion throughout the national team window although the Brighton attacker turns 35 in the coming days. “Without even knowing him, I am aware what he is able to give me,” stated the England coach. “He can be a reserve for Harry [Kane] playing a very orthodox centre-forward role.” Gaining the final 42 England games in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be in the squad for the World Cup if he can maintain his scoring performances. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal striker has additional strikes than any other English player in England's top division this campaign on six and remains keen to add to that tally when Brighton entertain Brentford on Saturday. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM The full-back needed as assist provider and finisher The Ryan Sessegnon tale has brought a measure of warmth to Fulham's bumpy opening. The former Tottenham man, who returned to his youth team recently after five tough years with Spurs, is now a regular starter, driving down the left with the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The issue? With two goals, he's also their top goalscorer this season alongside Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their top scorer in the last term, has bagged a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for the long term because of a surgical procedure. Sessegnon must also being required to contribute in a creative role instead of Robinson, who supplied ten helpers last season. The Cottagers' upcoming four matches include three of the top five and Crystal Palace, who have allowed merely nine goals this season this season. Danger looms for the club that have earned a name for consistency in the middle. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The occasion for Alexander Isak to produce for Liverpool The dispute about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal against Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's deficiencies during the match as they fell to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. The manager's side must have a sustained recovery to force their way into the league contest from their current spot, as well as a major upturn in results, and a chance emerges as seven out of their following ten Premier League matches against clubs presently in the bottom half of the table. The danger is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the single club to inflict a home league defeat to the title holders in the last term, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's showing when facing aerial passes and counterattacks that will be under the spotlight. It is time that Alexander Isak to show up for Liverpool. The £125m striker has been absent in domestic action over four weeks having sustained a muscle issue during his second consecutive start over a short period in the Champions League victory abroad. Isak returned off the bench in the Swedish defeat to Switzerland but missed the subsequent meaningless match versus Slovenia to ensure his fitness for next year's World Cup knockout rounds.
