5️⃣ spicy fixtures you must watch this weekend 🌶

Juventus vs Lazio

Juventus continue to struggle for consistency under Luciano Spalletti with a heavy defeat at Atalanta in midweek summarising their season. The Bianconeri looked to have turned a corner with four wins in five league games, including a 3-0 thrashing of champions Napoli, but familiar flaws were exposed in midweek.

Next up is Lazio, with little margin for error. Spalletti’s side are fourth in the table, but only five points separate the teams from third to sixth. The battle for Champions League football is tight.

Spice Rating: Mild 🌶

Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur

Michael Carrick has Manchester United on the up with the interim manager making an immediate impact.

Three wins on the spin have the Red Devils sitting pretty in fourth, with optimism around Old Trafford again. Former club Spurs are next up and Thomas Frank’s Jekyll and Hyde team face a raft of absentees.

Can United continue their winning run? There’s a man in desperate need of a haircut who hopes so…

Spice Rating: Medium 🌶🌶

Olympiacos vs Panathinaikos

When a fixture is dubbed the ‘Derby of the Eternal Enemies’ and ‘Mother of All Battles’, you better believe there’s some spice to it.

Greek football’s most successful sides go toe-to-toe this weekend, in an all-Athens match-up that promises fireworks. Olympiacos lead the standings in the Super League, but just two points splits the top three with AEK Athens and PAOK hunting them down.

A rock-solid defence has been the bedrock of their challenge with just nine goals conceded in 19 games, and Panathinaikos face a challenge to break that down. The visitors, under the management of Rafael Benitez, are without a title since 2010 and a distant fifth in the table, but will hope to upset their old enemy.

Spice Rating: Hot 🌶🌶🌶

Paris Saint-Germain vs Marseille

Le Classique returns to the Ligue 1 calendar this weekend as PSG face Marseille. The French champions have wrestled back top spot from Lens in recent weeks, but the latter are certainly not going anywhere just yet.

Marseille, meanwhile, must win to maintain any fading hopes of catching the top two. Roberto De Zerbi’s side took PSG to penalties in the Trophée des Champions final last month to prove they can match the European champions.

Spice Rating: Fire 🌶🌶🌶🌶

Liverpool vs Manchester City

Liverpool vs Manchester City. The definitive Premier League rivalry of recent seasons. The last seven league titles have all ended up at either Anfield (2) or the Etihad (5), but both are off the pace now.

Could Liverpool, entirely unconvincing for large periods this season, continue their impressive Anfield record against the Citizens? Or will Pep Guardiola get one over Arne Slot and ensure City remain in Arsenal’s rear-view mirror?

The Gunners will be as invested as anyone in this one.
