I couldn't get this thought out my head after the weekends games that the way the Premier League has gone, plus Hearts in Scotland right now has taken a lot of of us by surprise.

Arteta and Arsenal have been laughed at for how they play over the last 18 months, but seem to have been ahead of the curve while Liverpool look like they haven't built a side capable to handle this version of the Premier League.

Meanwhile in Scotland different thinking is also laughed at yet Hearts have blocked out the noise and shut up those who have laughed for now.

Interesting times.

The blockbuster fixture this weekend is in Edinburgh at Tynecastle Park as Hearts take on Celtic in what could be a pivotal moment for the SPFL.

Im going Hearts to win 2-1 and everything to explode. Thoughts?

Anyone else feel as if the wingers coming through now are 1 vs 1 specialists? Going down the line and taking people on rather than cutting inside and recycling the ball.

I think the game is going back to managers giving the attacking players freedom. Thoughts?

Huge moment on Sunday for Rangers and Russell Martin with that last minute winner. Could it prove to be a turning point?

Meanwhile Celtic draw 0-0 against Hibs to allow Hearts to go top of the league after a comfortable 3-0 win at home to Falkirk.

Watching all the highlights from this weekends games, the league is so much quicker and technical that it ever has been. It's a league on the up for sure.

Not too much to talk about this weekend in terms of games. Man United have a tricky one away to Brentford at 12 30 on Saturday to kick the weekend off.

A few decent 3pm games with Palace v Liverpool and Chelsea v Brighton.

But the big one is Newcastle v Arsenal at 4 30 to finish off Super Sunday. The battle at St James Park.

Arsenal once again didn't release the handbrake at home to Man City. Will that cost them again this season?

Meanwhile Liverpool are 5 wins from 5 after beating Everton in the Merseyside Derby. Man United beat Chelsea on a taking wert Saturday night and Russell Martin got his Rangers side to beat Hibs 2-0 inspired by Nico Raskin.

Here is the full GW 5 weekend wrap-up which is usually for subscribers only.
