The Top 5 Fixtures to Watch This Weekend as the Title Races Heat Up
3651

The title races around Europe are getting heated and this weekend faces one of the biggest set of fixtures in the battle for the domestic crowns across the continent. We will take a look at the games to watch this weekend.

Liverpool vs West Ham United

Liverpool are now only six points behind Manchester City in the title race, and with one game in hand for the Reds, a win here puts serious pressure on the champions ahead of the Manchester derby.

West Ham United are still in fifth as well, but with three more games played than Arsenal, they cannot afford to lose any more points or they could see their fight for Europe crumble.

OGC Nice vs Paris Saint-Germain

First travels to third in Ligue 1 this weekend as Paris Saint-Germain head to Nice with a stunning 16-point gap on the third-placed outfit. It’s just a matter of time until Lionel Messi and co. get their hands on the Ligue 1 title, and a win here will put them one step closer to mathematical victory.

As for Nice, if they lose and others around them win, the club could drop out of the top three and into fifth.

Bayern München vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen

The gap at the top of the table for the champions Bayern Munich is once again eight over Borussia Dortmund, and as they welcome third-placed Bayer Leverkusen to their backyard, Julian Nagelsmann’s men can move 17 points clear of their opponents here.

Manchester City vs Manchester United

In the most anticipated local derby of the Premier League season, City welcome Manchester United to the Etihad this Sunday just four months after an easy 2-0 win for Pep Guardiola’s men at Old Trafford.

City can’t afford any more points with Liverpool right behind them, but for United, the club seems in turmoil and anything but a win every week right now is unacceptable. Ralf Rangnick’s men can drop as low as sixth with a defeat.

Napoli vs Milan

Following on from a stunning week in Serie A, the top two sides now suddenly meet in what is the biggest game of Italian top flight season so far. Last weekend, Napoli stole a all three points from Lazio when Fabian Ruiz scored a stunner in the 94th minute following Pedro's late equaliser

Inter Milan and AC Milan, however, both dropped two points in a draw, and subsequently, the Naples side are now top, with the champions in third with a game in hand, just as Milan sit level on points with Napoli, but behind on goal difference.
