The first set of matches after the international break lived up to its expectations with several enthralling games. However, the action is set to heat up with a plethora of crunch clashes this weekend too.

The biggest game of the weekend sees Bayern Munich lock horns with Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. The former has recovered from their poor start to make a fist of the title challenge. However, an untimely draw at the weekend left the Bavarians a couple of points adrift of Dortmund. Lucien Favre’s men, meanwhile, would want to rise to the occasion as they look to end their more illustrious rivals’ monopoly on the Bundesliga.

RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen too go head to head at the weekend, with the latter looking to make a late surge into the top four.

The other clutch title-deciding match of the weekend features FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. The Blaugrana's shock stalemate against Villarreal coupled with the Los Rojiblancos’ victory over Girona trimmed Barcelona’s lead at the top to eight points. Thus, a win for Diego Simeone’s men at the Camp Nou has the potential to throw a spanner in the hosts’ works.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, would be seething from their mid-week defeat and would want to give a better account of themselves when they take the field against Eibar on Saturday.

The Premier League starts off on Friday with Liverpool clashing swords with Southampton at St. Mary’s. The Reds were catapulted at the top of the table by Manchester City after the latter’s 2-0 triumph over Cardiff. Hence, they would want to restore their advantage and apply pressure on the Cityzens, especially with the latter embroiled in an FA Cup semi-final at the weekend against Brighton at Wembley.

Liverpool’s Merseyside neighbors, Everton gear up to host Arsenal as the Gunners hope to reclaim 3rd place from Tottenham Hotspur. The Gunners have been in good home form recently but the test away to Goodison Park could well end up defining their season and their future in next year’s UEFA Champions League.

In the Serie A, AC Milan will go toe to toe with Juventus as the former primes itself to consolidate 4th spot. The Rossoneri arrive into the game on the back of a draw whereas the Old Lady got the better of Cagliari in a controversial encounter.

In another part of the world, namely the North American continent, Vancouver get ready to welcome Zlatan Ibrahimovic’ s LA Galaxy on Friday night. In addition, Wayne Rooney’s D.C. United battle with Los Angeles FC on Saturday.
