Keep these fixtures safe
Everton vs Liverpool (English Premier League)
Merseyside Derby
The first meeting of the season ended in a ‘1-1’ draw. Liverpool won’t be safe in 3rd place with a repeat of that score and Everton would not be looking to suffer another defeat to a top-four side. Both teams won’t want to lose a local derby.
Manchester City vs Manchester United (English Premier League)
Manchester Derby
Manchester City could write the perfect headline for an amazing season by beating Manchester United in the Manchester Derby and winning the league title from the result. You will find it difficult to write a better script.
Manchester United would do everything to avoid witnessing the nightmare.
Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid (Spanish La Liga)
Madrid Derby
If they are unable to widen the gap between themselves and Real Madrid, the least Atletico Madrid will want from this fixture will be a draw. Atletico Madrid wouldn’t want the pressure that a defeat will bring to them in the final lap of the Spanish La Liga race.
This is a chance for Real Madrid to use the support of the home crowd to get a victory that will allow them to pull a point away from Atletico Madrid in the league standings.
4th-placed Valencia will be looking to capitalize on this fixture by winning at home against 13th-placed Espanyol.
The battle for a Champions League spot in the Bundesliga
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hoffenheim (German Bundesliga)
A consecutive league defeat for Eintracht Frankfurt will allow Hoffenheim to get in the top 6. A victory for Hoffenheim can see them take full advantage of the cash between RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen. Eintracht Frankfurt has ‘top-four’ ambitions that can be realized with a home victory.
RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen (German Bundesliga)
Only a point separates the teams on the league table and a third winless game for Bayer Leverkusen will widen the gap between the sides in the league table. RB Leipzig is back in the top four and will be needing a victory to guarantee that they stay in that position for another round.
