There is another action-packed weekend of football to look forward to this weekend with some cracking ties coming up across the continent.

Here are five goalscorers to follow, one each from the Premier League, LaLiga and the Bundesliga.

Crystal Palace have two games scheduled this week, with the first a trip to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City.

Palace still have hopes of finishing in the top eight and will take confidence from the fact they held City to a 2-2 draw in December.

Jean-Philippe Mateta did not score in that first game, but he has got two in his last three appearances against City. Pep Guardiola's men have only kept four clean sheets at home all season in the league, so Mateta will fancy his chances of finding the back of the net.

Leicester's relegation back to the Championship is a case of when not if, following Monday's dismal 3-0 defeat to Newcastle.

The Foxes have lost nine matches on the spin, while Brighton will be eager to get back on track after three consecutive defeats.

There have been at least four goals scored in four of the last five meetings between the pair and Welbeck, who scored in last week's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace will hope to punish the Foxes' weak backline.

With Aston Villa still focused on their tie against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, manager Unai Emery will look to rotate his starting XI this weekend for the clash with Southampton.

The Saints' relegation was confirmed last weekend, not surprising given they have conceded a whopping 40 goals at home this season. Asensio will hope to take full advantage as part of Emery's planned rotation, having bagged eight goals in his last nine appearances for the Villans.

Barcelona will look to maintain their lead at the top of LaLiga when they take on Leganes this weekend.

Hansi Flick's team warmed up for this weekend's tie with a 4-0 win over Borussia Dortmund, with Raphinha scoring one goal as well as providing two assists.

Raphinha has now scored 28 goals in all competitions in 45 appearances this season and he will be expected to start as Barca's league title is still far from secured.

The Catalans are unbeaten in 23 games in 2025 and, after Leganes beat them back in December, Raphinha and co will be eager to set the record straight.

Bayern Munich will hope to move one step closer to winning the Bundesliga title when they face Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker.

The Bavarians are six points clear at the top of the table, although Vincent Komany's side go into the clash having been beaten 2-1 by Inter Milan in the Champions League in midweek.

England captain Kane failed to score against the Nerazzurri, ending a run of four games in a row for club and country in which he had found the back of the net.

Dortmund have conceded eight goals in their last four away games, so Kane should get plenty of chances to improve his tally for the season.
