Domestic football is back on the agenda after an action-packed international break. 

Along with turning the spotlight on Premier League trio Ivan Toney, Callum Wilson and Ben Davies, we take a closer look at the rise of Alex Scott. 

And there is even more to get stuck into on what promises to be a busy day in the world of the beautiful game.

Battle of the strikers

Saturday's showdown between Newcastle and Brentford pits former Toon striker Toney against his old club. 

He was regularly shipped out on loan by the Magpies before finding his way to the Bees via Peterborough. 

Wilson, on the other hand, has impressed at St James' Park and will be the man Eddie Howe turns to save the club from the drop. 

But who will come out on top when Thomas Frank's men head to Tyneside?

Meteoric rise

In case you have not noticed, former Arsenal right-back Scott continues to go from strength to strength. 

The 37-year-old Londoner is just as comfortable presenting on TV as she was on the ball — and broadcasters cannot get enough of her.

That is why it makes perfect sense for us to focus on the ex-England and Team GB player today. 

Back in the picture

Davies has found regular football hard to come by at Tottenham — but a first goal for Wales against Belarus last Saturday capped an impressive fortnight for the Neath-born star. 

The 28-year-old defender, who joined Spurs from Swansea in 2014, has started both games under Antonio Conte.

With the experienced Italian at the helm, we explore why he could become one of the new manager's most valuable players.

Alves to the rescue?

Dani Alves reckons he feels like a superhero having rejoined Barcelona on a free — but can he rescue the fallen Spanish giants?

The Brazilian, 38, will find life at the Camp Nou very different this time around. 

Yet the Catalan club will be banking on the veteran to give their squad a much-needed boost as they look to climb the LaLiga table. 

And there is more

Ajax head into Matchday 13 in the Eredivisie top of the table — and the smart money suggests the title is destined for the Johan Cruyff Arena.

As Erik ten Hag prepares his side to face RKC Waalwijk, we look at the best players to have represented the famous Amsterdam club. 

And as you would expect, our daily transfer news round-up is back to fill you in on all the developments as the January window approaches.
