The marquee game of the weekend pits Manchester United against Tottenham on Sunday. Both teams are in desperate need of a victory if they want to keep pace with the top four in the Premier League.

Tottenham is currently three points adrift of fourth-place Manchester City and seven points behind league leaders Chelsea. Meanwhile, United is already nine points away from the top four, so more dropped points would be a disaster for Jose Mourinho’s side.

Over in Italy, the Derby della Mole between Torino and Juventus highlights the action in Serie A. Il Toro is right in the thick of the European race, while Juve leads the league by four points, so the top half of the table will be significantly impacted by the final result.

In France, Ligue 1 leaders Nice face third-place Paris Saint-Germain. These sides are separated by four points, but with Monaco battling Bordeaux on Saturday, the principality club could move within a single point of Nice before they square off with PSG on Sunday.

Finally, the Club World Cup kicks off in the wee hours of Sunday morning. North American viewers will be intrigued by the first match betwen CONCACAF Champions League winners Club America and AFC champions Jeonbuk Motors. The winner will play Real Madrid in the semifinals.
