đź”— Share this article English top flight: 10 things to keep an eye on this round of fixtures Garnacho versus Walker set for another clash A Manchester reunion could be in store as Burnley's Kyle Walker faces the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The attacker is adapting well with Chelsea after his close-season transfer from Old Trafford and displayed his abilities versus Wolverhampton prior to the fixture pause. His assist for Pedro Neto mixed blistering pace with a flawless low cross. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved cutting inside prior to chipping a delivery to the back post. His goal reaction with Neto, mirroring his earlier hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a reminder of the pace with which situations evolve. The previous occasion Garnacho faced Walker? Back when the youngster found the net for United during their Wembley triumph against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (start times GMT) The winger key to ending Bournemouth's slump Antoine Semenyo is getting the full transfer speculation treatment due to a reported ÂŁ65m buyout clause for his potential winter exit, the tabloids positioning him for graduation from the Premier League's middle class. It is to be expected from a wide player with a half-dozen strikes and three assists and remains joyous to watch. However, his team find themselves in an difficult spot, having engaged in a form flip: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who arrive on back-to-back victories, while Bournemouth have lost seven-one over two games over their past two fixtures following an promising beginning to the campaign. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the spot by Emi MartĂnez in the heavy loss to Aston Villa yet facing a defensive unit that hasn't kept a clean sheet since August may prove the best remedy. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday afternoon three o'clock 3. Welbeck a left-field choice for the national team It seemed interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion during the fixture pause although the Brighton forward reaches 35 in the coming days. “Even without having met him, I know what he is able to give me,” commented the England coach. “He could serve as a reserve for Harry [Kane] in a very orthodox No 9 role.” Having won the most recent of his 42 caps back in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck may be in the squad to the World Cup provided he manages to continue his goalscoring exploits. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal forward can claim additional strikes over every other English player in England's top division this term with six and is anxious to increase that count when Brighton welcome Brentford this weekend. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock Ryan Sessegnon required as assist provider and scorer Sessegnon's story has brought a measure of comfort to Fulham's inconsistent opening. The left-sided player, who returned to his boyhood club recently after five challenging years with Spurs, is now a consistent pick, operating on the left side due to the injury of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The issue? On two goals, he's also their top goalscorer this season together with Harry Wilson. RaĂşl JimĂ©nez, their top scorer last season, has scored a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable until 2026 due to a hamstring operation. Additionally, Sessegnon being required to contribute as a creator in place of Robinson, who provided ten setups last season. The Cottagers' upcoming four games include three from the leading five as well as Crystal Palace, who have conceded merely nine strikes in the league so far. Trouble awaits for a side that have earned a reputation for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday three o'clock The moment for The striker to produce for the Reds The dispute regarding Virgil van Dijk's chalked-off effort in the match with Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's shortcomings in that game as they fell to a seventh defeat in ten matches. Arne Slot's squad require a prolonged upturn to muscle into the league contest from here, as well as a dramatic boost in performance, and a chance emerges as seven of their next 10 Premier League matches against clubs presently in the lower half in the league. The threat is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the only team to hand a loss at Anfield on the champions in the last term, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's display when facing long balls and counterattacks that will be in focus. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to show up wearing red. The expensive signing has not featured for his club in a month after picking up a groin problem during his second appearance in the lineup in quick succession in continental competition win in Germany. He reappeared from the bench in the Swedish loss by Switzerland but missed Tuesday's meaningless match versus Slovenia to guarantee his fitness for the World Cup knockout rounds. A caution in that match might have made him ineligible. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
