The domestic campaign is ready to kick back into gear this weekend after the international break.

As well as LiveScore columnist Joleon Lescott’s thoughts ahead of the action, we preview all the big games from the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A and the Bundesliga.

Lescott turns the spotlight on North London

While Tottenham are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League with nine points from three games, neighbours Arsenal are struggling.

Mikel Arteta’s Gunners have lost their three league outings so far and Lescott is on hand to run the rule over the differing fortunes in North London.

As usual, the former England international also offers his predictions on all 10 games in the English top flight. 

The big leagues covered
