Isak's relationship with Newcastle has broken down, and he has stated that it "can't continue" after losing trust in the club. However, Liverpool's need for a new striker has been tempered by the early-season form of Hugo Ekitike, who registered a goal and an assist on his Premier League debut for Liverpool. Ekitike rejected Newcastle's advances to join the Reds, and his performance has given Liverpool's management some breathing room in their pursuit of Isak.

Newcastle's lack of firepower without Isak was exposed in their goalless draw against Aston Villa on the opening weekend. The team's new manager, Eddie Howe, has been frustrated in his attempts to land Brentford striker Yoane Wissa, and it remains to be seen how he will address the team's attacking woes.

In another highly anticipated match, Manchester City will face Tottenham at the Etihad. City's 4-0 demolition of Wolves on the opening weekend sent a strong message of intent, but Tottenham's visit is a painful reminder of City's fall from grace last season. The two teams have a history of high-scoring matches, and this one is expected to be no different.

Everton's new season got off to a frustrating start with a late 1-0 defeat by Leeds, but the team's new home, the Hill Dickinson Stadium, is a major upgrade from their old ground, Goodison Park. The new stadium is expected to help the team attract more fans and improve their performance on the pitch.

The second weekend of the Premier League season promises to be an exciting one, with several teams vying for top spot. The matches between Liverpool and Newcastle, Manchester City and Tottenham, and Everton and Brighton will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.
