English top flight: 10 things to look out for this matchday


1. Garnacho and Walker ready for a new encounter

A Manchester reunion might be in the offing as the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The attacker is adapting well in west London following his off-season signing from Old Trafford and demonstrated his abilities in the Wolves match prior to the national team interval. His assist for Pedro Neto mixed rapid acceleration and a ideal low cross. His contribution for Malo Gusto required cutting inside before dinking a ball toward the far post. His joyous moment with Neto, replicating his prior hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a testament of how quickly things transform. The most recent instance Garnacho took on Walker? During the former netted for United in the cup final win over Manchester City.

Antoine Semenyo key to halting Cherries' slump

Antoine Semenyo is getting the full transfer speculation treatment amid a claimed ÂŁ65m buyout clause for a potential mid-season move, the tabloids setting him up for promotion from the Premier League's middle class. That is predictable for a winger with six finishes plus three setups who is joyous to watch. Nonetheless, Bournemouth occupy an difficult position, having engaged in a body swap: it is the bottom-half team West Ham who arrive with successive wins, whereas Bournemouth have been beaten 7-1 on aggregate in their previous two games following an impressive start to the campaign. Semenyo had his effort saved from the spot by Emi MartĂ­nez in their four-nil loss by Aston Villa yet confronting a defensive unit lacking a goalless game for months could be the ideal tonic.

Danny Welbeck a surprise option for the national team

It was intriguing to hear Thomas Tuchel mention Danny Welbeck multiple times during the fixture pause even though the Brighton forward reaches 35 soon. “Even without being familiar with him, I know what he could give me,” stated the England manager. “He could serve as a stand-in for Harry [Kane] as a quite traditional centre-forward role.” Gaining the most recent of his 42 caps several years ago, it's entirely possible that Welbeck could be in the squad to the World Cup if he is able to maintain his goalscoring feats. Once of Manchester United and Arsenal forward can claim more goals than any other English player in the Premier League this term with six and will be anxious to boost that count when Brighton welcome Brentford this weekend.

Ryan Sessegnon needed as creator and goalscorer

Sessegnon's story has brought a measure of warmth to Fulham's uneven beginning. The former Tottenham man, who came back to his former side last year following five difficult years in north London, has become a regular starter, operating on the left side in the absence of the sidelined Antonee Robinson. The issue? On two goals, he is their joint-top scorer in the Premier League as well as Harry Wilson. Their main striker, their primary attacker the previous campaign, has scored a single goal while Rodrigo Muniz is out for the long term because of a hamstring operation. Sessegnon must also having to step up as a creator in place of Robinson, who provided ten helpers in the previous campaign. Fulham's next four matches include three from the leading five plus Crystal Palace, who have allowed only nine goals in the league to date. A threat emerges for a side that have earned a name for solidity in the central positions.

The moment for The striker to perform for Liverpool

The controversy surrounding Virgil van Dijk's ruled-out strike versus Manchester City did not camouflage Liverpool's deficiencies on the day as they lost to loss number seven in ten matches. The manager's squad require a sustained recovery to enter the championship chase from this position, plus a significant improvement in form, and the possibility emerges as seven from their upcoming ten Premier League matches facing sides currently in the lower half of the table. The risk is clear from Nottingham Forest, the only team to inflict a home league defeat on the champions last season, however it's not just Liverpool's performance against long balls and quick transitions that is in focus. The moment has come for Alexander Isak to show up in a Liverpool shirt. The big-money forward has not played for his club in a month having sustained a groin injury during his second appearance in the lineup in quick succession in continental competition triumph at Eintracht Frankfurt. He reappeared off the bench during Sweden's loss against Switzerland but sat out the subsequent meaningless match with Slovenia to secure his fitness for the upcoming World Cup knockout rounds. A yellow card during the game would have made him ineligible. The striker could be short of|lacking|deficient
