Now, the tables have turned. Hoffenheim might be the hottest team in the Bundesliga, while Bayern Munich is winless in its last two Bundesliga matches. After a grinding 2024/25 campaign that saw one underachieving performance after another, Hoffenheim has flipped the script for 2025/26. This is a really good team -- and also one that sits in third place entering the weekend, just nine points behind first place Bayern Munich.

The UEFA Women's Champions League will have 18 teams in action across two days under its new format and kicks off the 2025-26 season with some mega-matchups. To start, in the early game on Tuesday we have Juventus vs. Benfica. But then it's a repeat of last season's semifinal as champions Arsenal face eight-time winners OL Lyonnes, while Barcelona host Bayern Munich, and Paris FC take on OH Leuven.

His contract with Bayern expires this coming summer, and it is still unclear that this point whether or not the club will offer him a contract extension, which would likely have to take place sooner rather than later. If he's still not signed an extension by January, he could technically sign a pr-contract to join a different club come July 1st as a free agent, which would be the worst case scenario for Bayern.

The Premier League kits have all dropped and if you're like anything like FourFourTwo, you're all fingers and thumbs on the calculator app, working out if you can justify 360 leaving your bank account or whether Klarna need a call. Since the end of last season, shirts have been drip-fed to us with all 60 now out and released that's three each: home, away and third.

Joao Pedro is among new signings for Chelsea after joining from Brighton for £60 million, alongside Jamie Gittens and Estevao, who also join the squad.

Wolves' pre-season form has been underwhelming, winless in five friendlies and accumulating just a single point from their first eight matches last season.

Chelsea finished fourth in the Premier League last season and are expected to compete across multiple fronts, including the Champions League, increasing the stakes for the team.

Celtic's new away kit for the 2025/26 season features a sleek black design interspersed with vibrant semi-solar green horizontal pinstripes, inspired by iconic '90s kits.
