🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten highlights to watch for this round of fixtures Garnacho versus Walker set for a fresh battle A Manchester reunion might be in the offing as the Clarets' Kyle Walker faces Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The winger is adapting well in west London following his off-season signing from Manchester United and demonstrated his skills in the Wolves match before the fixture pause. His setup for Pedro Neto mixed rapid acceleration and a ideal low cross. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right prior to dinking a ball toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his earlier celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a testament of the speed at which things transform. The most recent instance Garnacho took on Walker? When the Argentine found the net for United in the cup final win against Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (kick-offs GMT) The winger crucial to stopping Bournemouth's slump Antoine Semenyo is attracting the complete transfer speculation treatment amid a alleged £65m escape clause for his prospective winter exit, the tabloids positioning him for graduation out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. It is to be expected from a wide player who has six goals plus three assists and is pleasurable to watch. Still, his team are in an difficult position, having undergone a form flip: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who arrive on back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten seven to one on aggregate over their last two fixtures following an promising beginning to the season. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the spot by Emi Martínez during the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa yet taking on a backline that hasn't kept a clean sheet since August could be the perfect solution. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM 3. Welbeck a surprise shout for the national team It was intriguing to listen to Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck multiple times throughout the international break although the Brighton striker reaches 35 in the coming days. “Even without being familiar with him, I know what he can offer me,” stated the England manager. “He can be a reserve for Harry [Kane] in a very orthodox striker role.” Earning the final 42 international appearances back in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck might be on the plane for the World Cup if he manages to continue his goal-getting exploits. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal forward can claim a greater tally compared to any English performer in the top flight this term having six and will be eager to add to that total as Brighton entertain Brentford on Saturday. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday 3pm Ryan Sessegnon crucial as creator and goalscorer Sessegnon's story has provided a measure of comfort to Fulham's uneven beginning. The former Tottenham man, who rejoined his former side last year following five difficult years in north London, is now a consistent pick, operating on the left flank due to the injury of the injured Antonee Robinson. The concern? Having scored twice, he is their leading marksman this season together with Harry Wilson. Raúl Jiménez, their primary attacker last season, has scored one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is out for an extended period owing to a hamstring operation. Additionally, Sessegnon being required to contribute as a creator in place of Robinson, who supplied ten helpers last season. The Cottagers' next four fixtures take in three of the top five plus Crystal Palace, who have conceded only nine goals in the league to date. Danger looms for the club that have earned a standing for mid-table stability. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3pm 5. Time for Alexander Isak to perform for the Merseyside club The controversy about Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike in the match with Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's inferiority in that game as they lost to their seventh loss in ten matches. The manager's side must have a sustained recovery to muscle into the title race from their current spot, as well as a dramatic improvement in form, and the possibility presents itself as seven of their upcoming ten Premier League matches versus teams presently in the lower half in the standings. The threat is clear posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to inflict a defeat on their own turf on the champions the previous campaign, but it is not only Liverpool's performance against long balls and fast breaks that remains under scrutiny. It is time for Alexander Isak to show up for Liverpool. The expensive signing has been absent for his club in a month after picking up a groin problem during his second appearance in the lineup in four days in the Champions League triumph abroad. Isak returned off the bench during Sweden's defeat by Switzerland but sat out the subsequent inconsequential game with Slovenia to secure his readiness for next year's World Cup knockout rounds. A yellow card during the game would have suspended him. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
