Sky has slashed the price of its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle for the 2025/26 season, saving members £336 and offering more than 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL and more.

Sky will show at least 215 live Premier League games this season, an increase of up to 100 more.

The Saudi Pro League has jostled its way into becoming one of the most significant divisions on the planet.

This could influence Nunez's contract negotiations and potentially weaken Al-Hilal in the future.

Nunez netted in two pre-season matches for Liverpool before finalising his move to Al-Hilal, but he's maintained the momentum in Saudi Arabia.

Nunez scored in three consecutive pre-season games for Al-Hilal and has hit the ground running in the Saudi Pro League, achieving a significant milestone along the way.

The former Liverpool forward drew a blank on his league debut in a 2-0 victory over Al-Riyadh, but got off the mark following the international break in a 2-2 stalemate with Al Qadsiah.

Despite it being a remarkable transfer window for Liverpool, supporters were still disappointed to see squad players depart after claiming the Premier League title.

"Name a bigger upgrade in footballing history," the account posted on X.

Whilst the inclusion of "footballing history" may have been designed to generate interaction, the account received a response from Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah, who tweeted: "How about we celebrate the great signings without disrespecting the PL champions?"

Salah was praised for his firm response, demonstrating his affection for former players despite the thrilling new additions.
