🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten key points to look out for this matchday 1. Garnacho and Walker poised for a fresh clash Another northwest showdown might be on the cards when the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The wide man has started to settle at Stamford Bridge after his summer move from Manchester United and displayed his abilities in the Wolves match before the fixture pause. His assist for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed with a ideal low cross. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved cutting inside before chipping a ball toward the far post. His goal reaction with Neto, echoing his earlier embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a reminder of how quickly circumstances change. The most recent instance Garnacho faced Walker? When the former found the net for United in their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (start times GMT) The winger vital to halting Cherries' slump Antoine Semenyo is getting the entire rumour-mill attention due to a alleged £65m release clause for his potential January departure, the tabloids positioning him for promotion out of the Premier League's mid-table ranks. This is predictable for a attacker who has six finishes plus three helpers and remains pleasurable to watch. Nonetheless, his team find themselves in an awkward position, experiencing a form flip: now it's the relegation battlers West Ham who enter on consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have lost 7-1 on aggregate over their last two fixtures after an promising start to the season. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez during the four-nil loss to Aston Villa yet taking on a backline that hasn't kept a shutout since August may prove the best tonic. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM The striker a surprise shout for the national team It seemed intriguing to listen to Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the national team window although the Brighton striker celebrates 35 in the coming days. “Even without being familiar with him, I understand what he can offer me,” stated the England boss. “He could serve as a back-up for Harry [Kane] as a very orthodox striker role.” Gaining the final 42 international appearances back in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck may be in the squad for the World Cup assuming he can maintain his goalscoring feats. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal attacker boasts more goals over every other English footballer in the Premier League this campaign on six and is keen to boost that tally as Brighton host Brentford on Saturday.

The left-sided player, who returned to his youth team recently after five challenging years at Tottenham, has become a consistent pick, operating on the left flank due to the injury of the injured Antonee Robinson. The worry? On two goals, he remains their leading marksman this season as well as Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their leading man last season, has bagged once while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term owing to a surgical procedure. Additionally, Sessegnon needing to deliver as a creator instead of Robinson, who provided 10 assists last season. The Cottagers' next four fixtures feature three of the leading five and Crystal Palace, who have allowed merely nine strikes in the league to date. Trouble awaits for a side that have earned a reputation for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday 3pm The occasion for The striker to deliver for the Reds The dispute regarding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike against Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's inferiority in that game as they fell to loss number seven over ten fixtures. The coach's squad need a consistent improvement to muscle into the title race from their current spot, as well as a major upturn in results, and a chance arises with seven out of their following ten top-flight fixtures against clubs at the moment in the bottom ten of the table. The danger is clear from Nottingham Forest, the only team to hand a loss at Anfield to the title holders last season, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's performance when facing aerial passes and counterattacks that will be under scrutiny. Now is the occasion for Alexander Isak to deliver in a Liverpool shirt. The expensive signing has not played at club level over four weeks following a muscle issue during his second appearance in the lineup in four days in Europe triumph at Eintracht Frankfurt. He reappeared off the bench in Sweden's loss by Switzerland but sat out Tuesday's inconsequential game against Slovenia to ensure his fitness for next year's World Cup qualifiers.
