đź”— Share this article English top flight: ten highlights to keep an eye on this round of fixtures Walker faces Garnacho set for a new encounter A Manchester reunion may be in the offing when Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The wide man has started to settle at Stamford Bridge following his off-season signing from the Red Devils and demonstrated his abilities against Wolves before the fixture pause. His assist for Pedro Neto blended rapid acceleration and a ideal along-the-deck delivery. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right before lofting a cross across the goalmouth. His joyous moment with Neto, mirroring his prior hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a reminder of the pace with which circumstances change. The last time Garnacho encountered Walker? When the former found the net for United in the Wembley triumph against Manchester City. Burnley against Chelsea, Saturday 12:30 PM (all times GMT) The winger crucial to halting Cherries' decline Antoine Semenyo is getting the complete rumour-mill treatment due to a reported ÂŁ65m buyout clause for his prospective January departure, the gossip columns setting him up for graduation from the Premier League's middle class. This is understandable for a wide player with a half-dozen strikes plus three assists and remains pleasurable to watch. Still, Bournemouth are in an difficult spot, having engaged in a role reversal: now it's the struggling side West Ham who come in on back-to-back victories, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten 7-1 over two games over their last two matches following an impressive opening to the season. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped from the spot by Emi MartĂnez in the four-nil loss by Aston Villa but taking on a backline lacking a shutout since August might be the best tonic. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday 3:00 PM The striker a surprise shout for the national team It seemed notable to listen to Thomas Tuchel name-drop Danny Welbeck repeatedly during the international break although the Brighton attacker celebrates 35 soon. “Without even being familiar with him, I understand what he can provide,” commented the England manager. “He can be a back-up for Harry [Kane] as a very traditional No 9 role.” Earning the final 42 international appearances in 2018, it's entirely possible that Welbeck could be selected to the World Cup if he is able to continue his goalscoring performances. The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal striker can claim more goals compared to any English footballer in the top flight this term having six and remains keen to increase that tally as Brighton host Brentford on Saturday. Brighton vs Brentford, Saturday 3pm 4. Sessegnon required as creator and scorer Sessegnon's story has provided a degree of positivity to Fulham's uneven beginning. The former Tottenham man, who returned to his youth team last year after five challenging years at Tottenham, has emerged as a first-team fixture, operating on the left side in the absence of the unavailable Antonee Robinson. The concern? On two goals, he is their top goalscorer this season together with Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their primary attacker last season, has scored once while Rodrigo Muniz is injured for the long term owing to a surgical procedure. Additionally, Sessegnon having to step up as an assist provider replacing Robinson, who registered ten setups last time round. Fulham's next four fixtures include three among the best five plus Crystal Palace, who have conceded just nine scores this season to date. Trouble awaits for the club that have built a name for consistency in the middle. Fulham versus Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM The moment for Alexander Isak to perform for Liverpool The debate about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal versus Manchester City could not hide Liverpool's deficiencies on the day as they lost to loss number seven in 10 games. The manager's team require a prolonged upturn to enter the league contest from this position, plus a major upturn in results, and opportunity arises with seven out of their upcoming ten league games facing clubs presently in the lower half of the table. The danger is obvious from Nottingham Forest, the single club to deliver a defeat on their own turf to Liverpool the previous campaign, but it is not only Liverpool's performance when facing long balls and quick transitions that remains in focus. It is time that Alexander Isak to perform for Liverpool. The expensive signing has not featured at club level for a month after picking up a groin injury while his second start in four days in Europe triumph in Germany. The striker came back off the bench in the Swedish defeat to Switzerland but sat out Tuesday's dead rubber versus Slovenia to ensure his readiness for the World Cup playoffs. A caution on Tuesday could have made him ineligible. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
