Another northwest showdown may be in store as the Clarets' Kyle Walker lines up against Chelsea's Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf.

His assist for Pedro Neto blended electric speed and a perfect along-the-deck delivery. His build-up for Malo Gusto entailed cutting inside prior to dinking a cross across the goalmouth. His joyous moment with Neto, replicating his prior embrace with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, acted as a reminder of how quickly things transform. The most recent instance Garnacho took on Walker? When the former scored for United in the cup final win against Manchester City.

It proved notable to hear Thomas Tuchel reference Danny Welbeck on more than one occasion throughout the fixture pause despite the fact that the Brighton attacker turns 35 soon. “Without even being familiar with him, I am aware what he could give me,” commented the England manager. “He could serve as a reserve for Harry [Kane] playing a very orthodox No 9 position.” Earning the last of his 42 England games in 2018, it's quite plausible that Welbeck might be in the squad for the World Cup provided he can continue his goal-getting exploits. The former Manchester United and Arsenal forward boasts a greater tally over every other English player in the Premier League this campaign on six and will be anxious to boost that tally as Brighton welcome Brentford this weekend.

The Ryan Sessegnon tale has provided some comfort to Fulham's uneven opening. The 25-year-old, who came back to his boyhood club recently after five tough years at Tottenham, has emerged as a regular starter, driving down the left flank in the absence of the sidelined Antonee Robinson.

The danger is evident from Nottingham Forest, the single club to inflict a defeat on their own turf to the title holders in the last term, however it's not just Liverpool's performance against long balls and counterattacks that is under the spotlight. The moment has come that Alexander Isak to show up for Liverpool.
