🔗 Share this article English top flight: ten highlights to look out for this weekend Garnacho versus Walker ready for a fresh battle Another northwest showdown may be in the offing as Burnley's Kyle Walker confronts Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The attacker is finding his feet in west London following his summer move from the Red Devils and demonstrated his abilities versus Wolverhampton prior to the national team interval. His key pass for Pedro Neto mixed electric speed with a ideal low cross. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved shifting infield prior to lofting a cross toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, replicating his prior celebration with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a testament of the pace with which things transform. The most recent instance Garnacho encountered Walker? When the former found the net for United in the FA Cup final victory against Manchester City. Burnley vs Chelsea, Saturday afternoon 12:30 PM (start times GMT) The winger vital to stopping Bournemouth's slide Antoine Semenyo is receiving the complete gossip column focus following a reported £65m buyout clause for his potential January departure, the tabloids setting him up for advancement from the Premier League's mid-table ranks. It is understandable from a winger with six finishes and three setups and is joyous to watch. However, his team occupy an tricky position, experiencing a body swap: it is the relegation battlers West Ham who enter on consecutive triumphs, while Bournemouth have been beaten 7-1 on aggregate over their previous two games following an promising beginning to the campaign. Semenyo saw his attempt stopped on the penalty by Emi Martínez during the four-nil loss by Aston Villa yet taking on a defence lacking a clean sheet for months could be the ideal tonic. Bournemouth against West Ham, Saturday 3pm 3. Welbeck an outside shout for the national team It seemed notable to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck multiple times throughout the fixture pause even though the Brighton attacker reaches 35 soon. “Despite not being familiar with him, I know what he can offer me,” commented the England boss. “He can be a reserve for Harry [Kane] as a very orthodox centre-forward position.” Having won the final 42 international appearances back in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck could be selected to the World Cup if he is able to continue his scoring exploits. The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker boasts additional strikes than any other English footballer in the Premier League this season with six and is eager to add to that total as Brighton entertain Brentford this weekend. Brighton against Brentford, Saturday 3pm The full-back required as creator and scorer Sessegnon's story has brought a measure of warmth to Fulham's bumpy start. The 25-year-old, who returned to his boyhood club in 2024 following five tough years at Tottenham, has become a consistent pick, pushing forward on the left side due to the injury of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The concern? On two goals, he remains their joint-top scorer in the league alongside Harry Wilson. The Mexican striker, their top scorer last season, has scored once while Rodrigo Muniz is out for the long term due to a hamstring operation. Sessegnon must also being required to contribute as a creator instead of Robinson, who registered ten setups last time round. The Cottagers' next four games include three among the top five and Crystal Palace, who have allowed merely nine goals in the Premier League so far. Danger looms for a side that have developed a name for mid-table stability. Fulham vs Sunderland, Saturday afternoon 3:00 PM The moment for Alexander Isak to deliver for Liverpool The debate about Virgil van Dijk's disallowed goal against Manchester City failed to mask Liverpool's deficiencies on the day as they succumbed to their seventh loss in ten matches. The coach's side must have a consistent improvement to muscle into the championship chase from this position, as well as a dramatic upturn in results, and the possibility emerges as seven from their upcoming ten league games facing clubs currently in the bottom ten in the standings. The risk is evident from Nottingham Forest, the sole side to hand a home league defeat to Liverpool the previous campaign, however it's not just Liverpool's performance against long balls and quick transitions that is under the spotlight. Now is the occasion for Alexander Isak to perform wearing red. The big-money forward has not featured at club level over four weeks following a groin problem when making his second start in four days in Europe triumph in Germany. Isak returned as a substitute in Sweden's defeat against Switzerland but was rested the subsequent inconsequential game against Slovenia to ensure his availability for next year's World Cup playoffs. A booking on Tuesday might have suspended him. Isak may be short of|lacking|deficient
