Leicester City vs Tottenham (English Premier League)
Separated by ‘goal-difference’, Leicester City and Tottenham will meet to fight for their place amongst the teams at the top of the league standings.
Marseille vs Montpellier (French Ligue 1)

Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig (German Bundesliga)
To guarantee another round at the top of the German Bundesliga standings for another round, RB Leipzig must get an away win against Werder Bremen.

PSV Eindhoven vs Ajax (Dutch Eredivisie)
De Topper – Ajax and PSV Eindhoven are tied at the top of the Dutch Eredivisie. The winner in this fixture will open a three-point lead at the top of the Eredivisie table.
Chelsea vs Liverpool (English Premier League)
On paper, this is expected to be Liverpool’s biggest test in the league to date. For Liverpool to keep their 5-point gap (or add to it), they will need a good result at Stamford Bridge against a Chelsea side that has been looking sharper in front of goal.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund (German Bundesliga)
Should RB Leipzig fail to secure the maximum points against Werder Bremen, then it will be an opportunity for Borussia Dortmund to move to (potentially) move to the top of the German Bundesliga standings at the end of the round.
Sevilla vs Real Madrid (Spanish La Liga)
Sevilla rose to the top of the La Liga standings at the end of the last round of games. The only way to guarantee an extended stay at the top of the league table is for Sevilla to get a home victory against Real Madrid.
Lyon vs Paris St. Germain (French Ligue 1)
As one of the few teams that can be a threat to Paris St. Germain, can the backing of home support help Lyon get the victory that will move them to a point away from PSG’s accumulated points so far in the season?
