The Premier League may be on a break but there is no slacking at our essential gateway to the weekend’s football action. Front and centre, we will have the latest news on Manchester City’s legal battle. Plus England’s mouthwatering confrontation with the world champions, Spain, on Saturday evening, their first match since _that_ semi-final freeze against Argentina.
At 2pm, a new era for Scotland commences as Sébastien Pocognoli’s side kickstart their Nations League campaign away to Slovenia. We will not be forgetting Leagues One and Two either: if the National League is your passion and you are travelling to a match, we would love to hear from you. You will be a lot of things, but one thing you will not be is bored. **Emillia Hawkins** has all the breaking news and more.
