A nearly two-week break may have been just what Manchester United needed.

After a difficult start to the Premier League season, many of the Man United players had a chance to go to their National Teams with many of them starring for their countries, bringing confidence back to Old Trafford with them. They go into a match with surprise fourth-place team Southampton on Saturday knowing a win could turn their fortunes around.

In Germany, Bayern Munich look to continue their impressive form at the top of the Bundesliga when they welcome Mainz 05 to the Allianz Arena. Bayern have scored 15 goals in the league but their defensive record is tops in the country with just three goals conceded.

Other key matches to keep your eye on this weekend are Serie A leaders Roma vs. Napoli on Friday afternoon, Real Madrid vs. Malaga on Saturday, and Fiorentina hosting Juventus on Sunday.
