đź”— Share this article English top flight: 10 things to keep an eye on this weekend 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for a new clash A Manchester reunion could be in the offing as Burnley's Kyle Walker faces the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The wide man is finding his feet in west London after his off-season signing from Old Trafford and showcased his skills versus Wolverhampton before the fixture pause. His assist for Pedro Neto blended blistering pace and a flawless along-the-deck delivery. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right prior to dinking a delivery to the back post. His joyous moment with Neto, replicating his prior celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a testament of the pace with which situations evolve. The most recent instance Garnacho faced Walker? Back when the youngster found the net for United in the Wembley triumph against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12.30pm (start times GMT) 2. Semenyo key to halting Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is attracting the full gossip column focus following a alleged ÂŁ65m escape clause for his possible January departure, the gossip columns preparing him for promotion out of the Premier League's average tier. That is understandable for a wide player with six goals and three helpers who is joyous to watch. However, his team are in an difficult spot, having engaged in a form flip: now it's the struggling side West Ham who come in with consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have lost seven to one combined over their last two matches following an strong opening to the campaign. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the spot by Emi MartĂnez during the four-nil loss to Aston Villa yet taking on a backline that hasn't kept a goalless game since August may prove the ideal tonic. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM 3. Welbeck an outside choice for the national team It was interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck multiple times throughout the national team window even though the Brighton forward turns 35 next week. “Despite not having met him, I am aware what he could offer me,” commented the England boss. “He could serve as a reserve for Harry [Kane] playing a very traditional No 9 role.” Having won the final 42 caps several years ago, it's entirely possible that Welbeck could be in the squad for the World Cup provided he is able to sustain his scoring feats. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal striker has more goals than any other English player in the top flight this season with six and will be anxious to boost that tally as Brighton entertain Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM The full-back required as creator and goalscorer Sessegnon's story has offered a degree of positivity to Fulham's inconsistent beginning. The former Tottenham man, who returned to his boyhood club recently after five tough years at Tottenham, has emerged as a regular starter, operating on the left due to the injury of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The worry? Having scored twice, he remains their joint-top scorer in the league together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their primary attacker last season, has netted a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable until 2026 owing to hamstring surgery. Sessegnon must also having to step up in a creative role in place of Robinson, who provided 10 assists last season. Fulham's upcoming four games take in three of the leading five as well as Crystal Palace, who have let in merely nine strikes in the league this season. A threat emerges for a team that have earned a name for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday three o'clock 5. Time for Isak to deliver for the Reds The debate surrounding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort against Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's inferiority on the day as they lost to their seventh loss in 10 games. The manager's team need a prolonged upturn to force their way into the championship chase from this position, plus a dramatic upturn in results, and the possibility presents itself with seven out of their next 10 top-flight fixtures facing teams currently in the bottom ten of the table. The threat is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to deliver a defeat on their own turf on the champions in the last term, but it is not only Liverpool's performance against long balls and fast breaks that is in focus. The moment has come for Alexander Isak to show up in a Liverpool shirt. The expensive signing has not featured in domestic action in a month following a muscle issue when making his second appearance in the lineup in quick succession in continental competition win in Germany. The striker came back off the bench in Sweden's loss by Switzerland but sat out Tuesday's meaningless match with Slovenia to ensure his availability for the World Cup playoffs. A booking during the game might have suspended him. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
