đź”— Share this article English top flight: ten key points to watch for this weekend Garnacho versus Walker poised for a new encounter Another northwest showdown could be in store when Burnley's Kyle Walker confronts the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The wide man is finding his feet with Chelsea after his off-season signing from Old Trafford and displayed his talents against Wolves before the fixture pause. His assist for Pedro Neto combined rapid acceleration with a ideal grounded ball. His creation for Malo Gusto entailed shifting infield prior to chipping a cross to the back post. His celebration with Neto, echoing his earlier embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a reminder of the pace with which things transform. The previous occasion Garnacho took on Walker? During the Argentine netted for United in the Wembley triumph over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday 12.30pm (start times GMT) 2. Semenyo key to halting Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is getting the full transfer speculation attention following a reported ÂŁ65m buyout clause for his prospective mid-season move, the tabloids preparing him for graduation from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. This is to be expected from a winger with six finishes and three helpers who is joyous to watch. Still, his team occupy an tricky spot, having engaged in a body swap: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who come in with back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth are down seven to one combined over their previous two games following an promising beginning to the campaign. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the penalty spot by Emi MartĂnez during the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa however confronting a defence lacking a clean sheet in the league since the start of the season may prove the perfect remedy. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm The striker a surprise shout for the national team It was notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck multiple times throughout the national team window although the Brighton attacker celebrates 35 in the coming days. “Despite not knowing him, I am aware what he could give me,” stated the England manager. “He can be a back-up for Harry [Kane] as a quite traditional striker role.” Having won the last of his 42 international appearances several years ago, there is every chance that Welbeck might be in the squad to the World Cup assuming he can maintain his goal-getting feats. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has more goals over every other English footballer in England's top division this campaign on six and will be anxious to boost that count when Brighton entertain Brentford this weekend. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday afternoon 3pm The full-back needed as creator and goalscorer The Ryan Sessegnon tale has brought some comfort to Fulham's uneven opening. The 25-year-old, who rejoined his youth team last year following five tough years with Spurs, has emerged as a regular starter, driving down the left flank with the injured Antonee Robinson. The issue? Having scored twice, he is their top goalscorer in the Premier League alongside Harry Wilson. RaĂşl JimĂ©nez, their leading man the previous campaign, has netted once while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term owing to hamstring surgery. Additionally, Sessegnon being required to contribute as a creator replacing Robinson, who supplied ten setups in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' upcoming four matches include three from the best five plus Crystal Palace, who have allowed just nine goals this season so far. Trouble awaits for the club that have built a reputation for mid-table stability. Fulham against Sunderland, Saturday afternoon three o'clock 5. Time for Isak to perform for the Merseyside club The dispute surrounding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike versus Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's deficiencies in that game as they lost to loss number seven in 10 games. The coach's side need a sustained recovery to muscle into the title race from this position, as well as a dramatic boost in performance, and opportunity arises with seven of their upcoming ten league games facing teams presently in the lower half of the table. The danger is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the only team to deliver a home league defeat to Liverpool last season, but it is not only Liverpool's showing versus long balls and fast breaks that will be under the spotlight. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to show up in a Liverpool shirt. The big-money forward has been absent for his club for a month after picking up a groin injury while his second start in four days in the Champions League win abroad. Isak returned off the bench in Sweden's reverse against Switzerland but sat out the midweek meaningless match against Slovenia to secure his fitness for the upcoming World Cup playoffs.
