English top flight: ten highlights to watch for this matchday

Garnacho versus Walker set for a new clash

A Mancunian rematch may be on the cards as Burnley's Kyle Walker lines up against the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho at Turf Moor. The wide man has started to settle in west London after his summer move from the Red Devils and displayed his talents against Wolves before the national team interval. His setup for Pedro Neto combined electric speed and a flawless grounded ball. His contribution for Malo Gusto involved moving onto his right prior to dinking a cross toward the far post. His goal reaction with Neto, replicating his prior hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, was a reminder of how quickly circumstances change. The most recent instance Garnacho faced Walker? During the Argentine netted for United in their Wembley triumph over Manchester City.

This is to be expected for a winger who has six finishes and three assists who is pleasurable to watch.

Semenyo was denied from the penalty spot by Emi Martínez during the heavy loss by Aston Villa however confronting a defence lacking a clean sheet in the league since the start of the season might be the ideal remedy.

The striker a surprise choice for England

It proved interesting to hear Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck multiple times during the fixture pause even though the Brighton striker reaches 35 soon. “Even without knowing him, I understand what he could give me,” said the England boss. “He can be a stand-in for Harry [Kane] in a quite conventional centre-forward role.” Gaining the final 42 England games back in 2018, there is every chance that Welbeck could be on the plane to the World Cup provided he manages to sustain his goal-getting exploits. The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker boasts more goals compared to any English footballer in the Premier League this campaign on six and is keen to add to that total when Brighton host Brentford in Saturday's match.

4. Sessegnon required as creator and goalscorer

The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has provided a measure of comfort to Fulham's uneven beginning.

Trouble awaits for a team that have built a name for solidity in the central positions.

The manager's team require a consistent improvement to force their way into the championship chase from here, along with a dramatic upturn in results, and the possibility emerges as seven from their following ten league games versus teams currently in the bottom ten of the table. The danger is evident posed by Nottingham Forest, the only team to deliver a defeat on their own turf on the champions in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's showing against direct play and counterattacks that is under the spotlight. It is time for Alexander Isak to deliver wearing red.
