A Mancunian rematch may be in the offing as the Clarets' Kyle Walker confronts the Blues' Alejandro Garnacho on Burnley's turf. The attacker has started to settle with Chelsea after his off-season signing from the Red Devils and demonstrated his abilities against Wolves before the fixture pause. His setup for Pedro Neto blended rapid acceleration and a perfect grounded ball. His creation for Malo Gusto required shifting infield before lofting a cross to the back post. His goal reaction with Neto, echoing his previous hug with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund, served as a indication of the pace with which circumstances change. The last time Garnacho took on Walker? Back when the Argentine found the net for United in the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.

The ex- Manchester United and Arsenal attacker has a greater tally over every other English player in the Premier League this campaign on six and remains eager to increase that count when Brighton entertain Brentford this weekend.

The narrative around Ryan Sessegnon has provided a degree of positivity to Fulham's uneven start. The left-sided player, who rejoined his youth team recently after five difficult years with Spurs, is now a regular starter, pushing forward on the left flank with the injured Antonee Robinson.
