🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten key points to look out for this matchday Walker faces Garnacho ready for another encounter A Mancunian rematch might be in store when the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The winger has started to settle at Stamford Bridge after his summer move from Manchester United and showcased his abilities versus Wolverhampton before the international break. His assist for Pedro Neto combined blistering pace and a perfect along-the-deck delivery. His build-up for Malo Gusto involved shifting infield prior to lofting a delivery toward the far post. His celebration with Neto, echoing his previous celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a indication of the pace with which circumstances change. The last time Garnacho took on Walker? Back when the former scored for United in their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12.30pm (all times GMT) The winger vital to halting Bournemouth's decline Antoine Semenyo is attracting the full transfer speculation treatment due to a alleged £65m release clause for his possible mid-season move, the media preparing him for advancement out of the Premier League's middle class. This is understandable from a attacker who has six goals and three assists and is delightful to watch. Still, his side occupy an difficult spot, having engaged in a role reversal: now it's the bottom-half team West Ham who arrive on back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven-one combined over their past two matches following an promising start to the season. Semenyo was denied on the penalty by Emi Martínez in their heavy loss by Aston Villa yet facing a defensive unit without a goalless game since August might be the best solution. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm The striker an outside choice for the Three Lions It proved intriguing to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the international break although the Brighton striker turns 35 in the coming days. “Despite not knowing him, I understand what he is able to provide,” stated the England manager. “He might act as a back-up for Harry [Kane] playing a very orthodox No 9 position.” Gaining the final 42 international appearances several years ago, there is every chance that Welbeck might be on the plane to the World Cup assuming he manages to maintain his scoring performances. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal forward can claim additional strikes compared to any English player in the top flight this season having six and remains anxious to boost that tally when Brighton welcome Brentford this weekend. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday three o'clock 4. Sessegnon needed as playmaker and scorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has offered a degree of warmth to Fulham's uneven start. The left-sided player, who rejoined his former side last year after five difficult years in north London, has become a consistent pick, driving down the left side in the absence of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The worry? With two goals, he's also their top goalscorer in the Premier League alongside Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their primary attacker the previous campaign, has netted one goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is injured for an extended period owing to a surgical procedure. Sessegnon is also needing to deliver in a creative role instead of Robinson, who supplied 10 assists in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' following four matches take in three of the best five plus Crystal Palace, who have conceded only nine goals this season to date. Danger looms for the club that have earned a reputation for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday 3:00 PM The moment for Alexander Isak to perform for the Merseyside club The dispute about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal in the match with Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's inferiority in that game as they lost to their seventh loss over ten fixtures. The coach's squad need a sustained recovery to muscle into the league contest from this position, along with a dramatic improvement in form, and the possibility presents itself as seven from their next 10 top-flight fixtures facing clubs currently in the bottom ten in the standings. The threat is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the single club to inflict a home league defeat to the title holders the previous campaign, but it is not only Liverpool's showing versus direct play and quick transitions that is in focus. It is time that Alexander Isak to show up wearing red. The expensive signing has not played for his club in a month following a groin problem during his second start in quick succession in Europe victory at Eintracht Frankfurt. The striker came back off the bench in the Swedish reverse by Switzerland but missed Tuesday's dead rubber against Slovenia to secure his readiness for next year's World Cup playoffs.
