The Alexander Isak saga will take another twist when Liverpool faces Newcastle, while Man City hosts a bogey team in Spurs.

After a nightmarish pre-season, Newcastle United faces another major hurdle when it gets its Premier League campaign up and running at Aston Villa on Saturday.

Eddie Howe did manage to add Anthony Elanga to his attacking ranks earlier in the window, and Jacob Ramsey signed for Newcastle from Aston Villa in a deal worth a total of £43 million.

With less than two weeks until the summer window closes, Isak has taken the nuclear option in a desperate bid to force a move away. He released a public statement on Tuesday night, in which he referenced 'broken promises' from Newcastle's leadership. Isak is also said to be refusing to play for the Tyneside club until a transfer is agreed.

Brighton will be the visitor on Sunday for the start of a new era for Everton, which — on the field — began the season in miserable fashion with a 1-0 loss at Leeds on Monday.

Alexander Isak’s transfer saga is a “f***ing mess” and his agent should be “sacked on the spot”, claims Newcastle legend Alan Shearer.

Leeds United will be looking to seal another home Premier League win when they host Newcastle United at Elland Road on Saturday 30th August at 5:30pm. The Whites marked their return to the top flight
