đź”— Share this article English top flight: 10 things to look out for this weekend Walker faces Garnacho set for another clash A Mancunian rematch may be in the offing when the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho in Lancashire. The winger has started to settle at Stamford Bridge after his summer move from Manchester United and demonstrated his skills in the Wolves match prior to the fixture pause. His setup for Pedro Neto mixed rapid acceleration and a flawless low cross. His build-up for Malo Gusto entailed cutting inside prior to dinking a ball toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, replicating his previous celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a indication of the pace with which circumstances change. The previous occasion Garnacho took on Walker? Back when the Argentine netted for United in their FA Cup final victory against Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (start times GMT) The winger key to halting Cherries' slide Antoine Semenyo is attracting the complete transfer speculation treatment following a claimed ÂŁ65m release clause for his possible January departure, the media preparing him for graduation from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. That is predictable for a winger who has six finishes plus three assists and is delightful to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth occupy an awkward situation, having engaged in a body swap: it is the struggling side West Ham who arrive with consecutive triumphs, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten 7-1 on aggregate over their previous two matches following an promising opening to the campaign. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the penalty spot by Emi MartĂnez in their heavy loss to Aston Villa but taking on a defensive unit lacking a goalless game for months might be the perfect tonic. Bournemouth vs West Ham, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM Danny Welbeck a left-field choice for England It was intriguing to listen to Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the national team window despite the fact that the Brighton forward celebrates 35 next week. “Despite not having met him, I am aware what he is able to offer me,” stated the England manager. “He can be a stand-in for Harry [Kane] in a quite conventional centre-forward role.” Earning the final 42 caps in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck could be selected for the World Cup if he manages to sustain his scoring feats. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal striker has more goals compared to any English player in the top flight this term on six and remains eager to add to that count when Brighton host Brentford in Saturday's match. Brighton versus Brentford, Saturday 3:00 PM 4. Sessegnon crucial as assist provider and scorer The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has offered some warmth to Fulham's uneven opening. The former Tottenham man, who returned to his youth team in 2024 following five tough years at Tottenham, has emerged as a first-team fixture, operating on the left side in the absence of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The worry? Having scored twice, he remains their joint-top scorer in the league together with Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their leading man the previous campaign, has bagged one goal while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term due to a hamstring operation. Sessegnon must also having to step up as a creator replacing Robinson, who registered 10 assists in the previous campaign. Fulham's following four games include three among the top five as well as Crystal Palace, who have let in merely nine strikes this season this season. Trouble awaits for the club that have built a standing for solidity in the central positions. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday 3pm 5. Time for Alexander Isak to perform for the Merseyside club The controversy surrounding Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal against Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's inferiority on the day as they fell to a seventh defeat in ten matches. Arne Slot's squad need a consistent improvement to force their way into the league contest from their current spot, along with a major upturn in results, and a chance presents itself as seven from their following ten league games against sides currently in the bottom ten in the standings. The risk is clear from Nottingham Forest, the single club to inflict a defeat on their own turf to Liverpool in the last term, yet it isn't solely Liverpool's display when facing long balls and fast breaks that is under the spotlight. It is time for Alexander Isak to perform for Liverpool. The expensive signing has been absent for his club in a month following a muscle issue when making his second start in four days in the Champions League triumph abroad. The striker came back off the bench in Sweden's loss by Switzerland but missed the midweek meaningless match versus Slovenia to guarantee his availability for the upcoming World Cup playoffs. A booking during the game would have suspended him. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
