🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten key points to keep an eye on this weekend 1. Garnacho and Walker ready for a new encounter A Mancunian rematch may be in store as Burnley's Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The winger has started to settle with Chelsea following his off-season signing from Manchester United and demonstrated his abilities versus Wolverhampton prior to the international break. His setup for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed and a ideal low cross. His creation for Malo Gusto entailed moving onto his right before lofting a cross across the goalmouth. His celebration with Neto, mirroring his prior embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a indication of how quickly circumstances change. The last time Garnacho faced Walker? During the former netted for United during their Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday half past twelve (all times GMT) Antoine Semenyo key to halting Bournemouth's decline Antoine Semenyo is getting the full rumour-mill treatment following a claimed £65m escape clause for his prospective winter exit, the tabloids setting him up for promotion out of the Premier League's middle class. It is understandable for a winger with six goals plus three helpers who is pleasurable to watch. Nonetheless, his team are in an difficult spot, having undergone a body swap: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who enter on successive wins, while Bournemouth have been beaten 7-1 combined in their past two fixtures following an strong start to the season. Semenyo was denied from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez in their four-nil loss to Aston Villa however taking on a defensive unit lacking a goalless game since August might be the ideal remedy. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday afternoon three o'clock Danny Welbeck a surprise shout for the national team It seemed notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the international break although the Brighton striker celebrates 35 soon. “Despite not being familiar with him, I know what he could give me,” commented the England coach. “He can be a stand-in for Harry [Kane] as a very conventional striker role.” Having won the most recent of his 42 England games several years ago, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be on the plane for the World Cup assuming he manages to sustain his goal-getting feats. The former Manchester United and Arsenal forward boasts additional strikes than any other English performer in the top flight this term having six and remains eager to add to that count when Brighton entertain Brentford on Saturday. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock 4. Sessegnon crucial as creator and finisher The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has brought a measure of comfort to Fulham's inconsistent start. The left-sided player, who rejoined his boyhood club recently after five tough years at Tottenham, has emerged as a regular starter, pushing forward on the left flank in the absence of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The concern? Having scored twice, he remains their joint-top scorer in the league as well as Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their leading man in the last term, has scored a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is out for an extended period owing to a hamstring operation. Sessegnon is also being required to contribute as a creator replacing Robinson, who provided ten helpers last time round. The Cottagers' upcoming four fixtures feature three among the top five as well as Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine strikes in the Premier League so far. Danger looms for a side that have built a standing for consistency in the middle. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm The occasion for Isak to produce for Liverpool The dispute surrounding Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal against Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's shortcomings on the day as they fell to loss number seven over ten fixtures. The coach's side need a sustained recovery to muscle into the championship chase from this position, as well as a major upturn in results, and the possibility arises with seven out of their next 10 Premier League matches facing clubs currently in the bottom half of the table. The risk is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to hand a home league defeat to Liverpool last season, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's showing against direct play and fast breaks that remains under the spotlight. Now is the occasion for Alexander Isak to show up for Liverpool. The £125m striker has not featured in domestic action for a month following a groin problem while his second consecutive start in quick succession in continental competition triumph abroad. The striker came back off the bench during Sweden's defeat against Switzerland but missed the subsequent meaningless match with Slovenia to guarantee his fitness for the World Cup playoffs. A yellow card during the game could have ruled him out. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
