Fans tuning in for Premier League action this weekend might be surprised that there aren't any league games taking place.

Alexander Isak is reportedly set to be the subject of a bidding war between six clubs in the summer transfer window. Newcastle United talisman Isak is one of the most talked-about strikers in world football after an impressive campaign for the Magpies.

The reason Liverpool are top of the league and strolling towards the title is because they play so many ways. They can be direct and press high. They can control the tempo and keep the ball. And they’ve now shown they can sit in deep and hit teams on the counter and make set-pieces work.

Real Madrid has its work cut out to defend the Spanish league crown, with Barcelona and Atlético Madrid challenging in an exciting season building towards a crescendo.

The last week has seen Liverpool put one hand firmly on the Premier League title. Significant victories over Manchester City and Newcastle United have coincided with Arsenal dropping points against West Ham United and Nottingham Forest as Liverpool established a healthy 13-point cushion at the summit.
