🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten highlights to look out for this matchday Walker faces Garnacho ready for a fresh encounter A Manchester reunion could be in store when Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The winger has started to settle in west London after his off-season signing from Manchester United and displayed his abilities versus Wolverhampton prior to the national team interval. His setup for Pedro Neto mixed blistering pace and a flawless along-the-deck delivery. His build-up for Malo Gusto required moving onto his right prior to chipping a cross toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his earlier embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a indication of how quickly things transform. The last time Garnacho encountered Walker? Back when the former scored for United in the Wembley triumph against Manchester City. Burnley versus Chelsea, Saturday half past twelve (kick-offs GMT) The winger vital to ending Cherries' slump Antoine Semenyo is getting the entire rumour-mill treatment amid a reported £65m release clause for his possible winter exit, the tabloids preparing him for advancement out of the Premier League's middle class. That is to be expected for a winger who has a half-dozen strikes and three helpers and remains delightful to watch. Still, his side occupy an difficult position, having undergone a body swap: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who enter with successive wins, while Bournemouth have been beaten seven to one on aggregate over their past two fixtures after an promising opening to the campaign. Semenyo was denied from the spot by Emi Martínez in the 4-0 defeat by Aston Villa however taking on a defensive unit without a clean sheet in the league since the start of the season may prove the best solution. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3pm Danny Welbeck a surprise choice for England It proved notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the fixture pause although the Brighton forward celebrates 35 soon. “Even without knowing him, I understand what he could offer me,” said the England boss. “He can be a stand-in for Harry [Kane] playing a quite orthodox striker role.” Having won the most recent of his 42 caps back in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck could be selected for the World Cup assuming he is able to continue his scoring exploits. The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker can claim more goals compared to any English performer in England's top division this season with six and remains eager to increase that tally when Brighton entertain Brentford on Saturday.

Their main striker, their leading man in the last term, has scored a single goal whereas Rodrigo Muniz is injured for an extended period owing to a surgical procedure. Sessegnon must also having to step up as an assist provider replacing Robinson, who provided ten setups in the previous campaign. The Cottagers' upcoming four matches feature three of the leading five as well as Crystal Palace, who have let in merely nine strikes this season so far. A threat emerges for a side that have built a name for solidity in the central positions. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday 3:00 PM The moment for The striker to perform for the Merseyside club The dispute regarding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike against Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's shortcomings on the day as they lost to their seventh loss in 10 games. The coach's squad require a sustained recovery to enter the league contest from their current spot, as well as a dramatic improvement in form, and opportunity arises with seven of their following ten league games versus clubs at the moment in the bottom ten of the table. The danger is evident from Nottingham Forest, the single club to deliver a loss at Anfield to the title holders last season, however it's not just Liverpool's performance against aerial passes and counterattacks that remains in focus. The moment has come for Alexander Isak to perform for Liverpool. The expensive signing has not played for his club over four weeks following a groin problem when making his second appearance in the lineup in quick succession in Europe victory abroad. The striker came back off the bench in Sweden's reverse against Switzerland but missed the subsequent meaningless match versus Slovenia to guarantee his readiness for the World Cup playoffs.
