The first major trophy of the season in English soccer will be handed out this weekend when Manchester United and Southampton square off at Wembley Stadium in the EFL Cup final.
For Manchester United, the club will be chasing after a sixth title in this competition, with the most recent one coming in 2010, while the Saints are searching for their first cup title in over four decades.
To get here, Claude Puel’s men upset Liverpool with a couple of 1-0 victories last month thanks to goals from Nathan Redmond and Shane Long. Jose Mourinho’s squad, on the other hand, had to overcome a pesky Hull City side by an aggregate score of 3-2.
The two sides met once earlier this season in Premier League action, with the Red Devils picking up a 2-0 win at Old Trafford.
Elsewhere, a marquee matchup will take place in Spain when Atlético Madrid hosts Barcelona on Sunday. Six points currently separate the two in La Liga standings with Barça sitting in second place.
Three meetings have taken place already between these two Spanish giants this season in both league and cup play, resulting in two draws and one 2-1 victory for Barcelona.
As for the league leaders, Real Madrid will try to bounce back from a midweek loss to Valencia by taking on Villarreal on the road.
Meanwhile in France, AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain continue to jockey for the top position in Ligue 1 when they travel to take on Guingamp and Marseille, respectively. Inter Milan, on the other hand, will host Roma at the San Siro in an enticing Serie A fixture.
