We have several fixtures to look forward to this week in the English Premier League including the match between Fulham and Manchester United at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night.
Manchester City can move to the top of the Premier League table if they win their game in hand against Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.
Real Madrid are getting closer to their city rivals - Atlético Madrid in the standing, as they are trailing by just 4 points, although Atlético has two games in hand. FC Barcelona have also gained a lot of ground and are back in the title race.
Fulham were regulars in the Premier League between 2001-2014, finishing as high as 8th position in the 2010/11 campaign. However, the club suffered relegation to the Championship in 2014 and although they have been back to the top since then, remaining in the top-flight of English football remains the club’s biggest challenge in 2021.
Lazio recorded a morale-boosting 3-0 win in the Rome Derby to extend their winning run to three matches, so the home side head into this cup clash full of confidence. Parma secured a decent point away at Sassuolo at the weekend but remain in the relegation places.
A 2-1 defeat at home to Nimes on the weekend prevented Wednesday night’s hosts, Marseille, a chance to close the gap on the top six in Ligue 1 but the hosts have another chance to redeem themselves when they play host to Lens at their Orange Velodrome.
RB Leipzig will no doubt be eyeing off all three points on Wednesday night when they play host to 5th placed Union Berlin at their Red Bull Arena as the hosts look to return to winning ways in a bid to close the gap on Bundesliga leaders, Bayern Munich, to just one point.
On Wednesday evening, Championship leaders Norwich host play-off chasing Bristol City at Carrow Road in a big game for both teams.
On Wednesday evening, two of the Bundesliga’s bottom three meet at the Veltins Arena, as Schalke host Koln. The game could be massive for the home team.
Schalke have been an ever-present in the top-flight of German football since the 1991/92 season and in nine of those campaigns, the club have finished in the top three positions.
Before the weekend all the talk about this weekend’s Premier League action was Liverpool’s home match against big north west rivals Manchester United. However, in true typical style, the match produced a goalless draw.
Like most top clubs, Liverpool invariably have a plethora of players out on loan. From youngsters looking for regular game time to older players aiming to reignite their career, the Reds currently have 12 loanees at clubs around the world.
Manchester United came away from Anfield on the weekend with a point thanks to a 0-0 draw. On the face of it, a draw away from home against the defending Premier League champions is a good result.
There are several matches to look forward to in the English Premier League this week and on Tuesday the 19th of January we have a meeting between Leicester City and Chelsea at the King Power Stadium.
West Brom threw themselves a lifeline on Saturday with a come from behind win against Black Country Derby rival Wolverhampton Wanderers, 3-2. Now, Sam Allardyce aims to lead his team to a second straight win against an in-form West Ham.
Tuesday night brings us a mouthwatering clash between 3rd placed Bayer Leverkusen and 4th placed Borussia Dortmund at the BayArena with both teams keen to hold onto their top four status in the German Bundesliga.
Villarreal progressed through to the next round of the Copa del Rey courtesy of a 1-0 win away at Tenerife at the weekend and they will be joined by Granada who claimed a 2-1 win at Malaga.
Eight-times winners of the Italian Super Cup, Juventus head into Wednesday’s final as the bookmakers’ favourites, but two-times winners Napoli beat Juve on penalties when the pair met in last season’s Coppa Italia final.
Cadiz were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by lower league opposition at the weekend, going down 2-0 away at Girona. Levante just about got themselves through to the next round but needed penalties to second tier side Fuenlabrada.
The English Premier League action continues this weekend and on Thursday night we have a meeting between Liverpool and Burnley at Anfield.
