đ Share this article English top flight: ten key points to watch for this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker ready for a new encounter Another northwest showdown could be on the cards as Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The winger is finding his feet with Chelsea following his off-season signing from Manchester United and displayed his talents in the Wolves match before the international break. His setup for Pedro Neto mixed rapid acceleration with a perfect grounded ball. His creation for Malo Gusto entailed moving onto his right prior to lofting a ball to the back post. His joyous moment with Neto, replicating his previous celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a reminder of the pace with which circumstances change. The last time Garnacho faced Walker? Back when the former found the net for United during their cup final win over Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday afternoon half past twelve (all times GMT) The winger crucial to stopping Bournemouth's decline Antoine Semenyo is attracting the full gossip column attention amid a reported ÂŁ65m escape clause for a potential winter exit, the media setting him up for advancement from the Premier League's middle class. That is understandable from a attacker with six finishes plus three setups and remains joyous to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth find themselves in an difficult situation, having undergone a form flip: now it's the bottom-half team West Ham who come in on back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth are down seven-one combined over their last two games after an promising opening to the campaign. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the penalty spot by Emi MartĂnez during the heavy loss to Aston Villa but confronting a backline without a clean sheet since August might be the best tonic. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM The striker an outside choice for the Three Lions It seemed interesting to listen to Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion throughout the international break although the Brighton striker reaches 35 next week. âWithout even having met him, I understand what he could give me,â commented the England coach. âHe could serve as a back-up for Harry [Kane] playing a quite orthodox No 9 role.â Having won the most recent of his 42 England games in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck might be on the plane for the World Cup if he manages to continue his goal-getting performances. The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker has a greater tally than any other English footballer in England's top division this campaign on six and will be eager to increase that count as Brighton host Brentford on Saturday. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday afternoon three o'clock The full-back required as playmaker and scorer Sessegnon's story has provided a measure of positivity to Fulham's inconsistent beginning. The 25-year-old, who returned to his youth team last year after five difficult years with Spurs, is now a regular starter, pushing forward on the left side with the injured Antonee Robinson. The issue? With two goals, he remains their top goalscorer this season together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their top scorer last season, has netted once while Rodrigo Muniz is unavailable for the long term owing to a surgical procedure. Sessegnon is also having to step up in a creative role in place of Robinson, who registered ten setups in the previous campaign. Fulham's next four games feature three among the top five plus Crystal Palace, who have let in just nine scores this season to date. A threat emerges for the club that have earned a reputation for mid-table stability. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday 3:00 PM The occasion for The striker to perform for the Reds The debate about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal against Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's deficiencies in that game as they lost to a seventh defeat over ten fixtures. Arne Slot's squad require a sustained recovery to force their way into the title race from their current spot, plus a significant boost in performance, and the possibility emerges with seven out of their next 10 league games against clubs presently in the bottom ten of the table. The danger is obvious posed by Nottingham Forest, the sole side to deliver a home league defeat to the title holders the previous campaign, however it's not just Liverpool's showing versus direct play and quick transitions that will be under the spotlight. The moment has come for Alexander Isak to perform for Liverpool. The big-money forward has not played for his club in a month following a groin problem when making his second appearance in the lineup in four days in continental competition win in Germany. He reappeared as a substitute during Sweden's loss by Switzerland but was rested the subsequent inconsequential game with Slovenia to secure his availability for next year's World Cup qualifiers.
