Arsene Wegner’s Arsenal will venture to set their woes aside in a massive match against Pep Guardiola’s fierce Manchester City, who battle to persist at a top-four position.
The Gunners strive to crack back into a spot for Champions League play after suffering defeats in their past two Premier League bouts, while Guardiola’s men try to inch their way closer to Tottenham, who are second in the table. Both sides last met in December in a match in which City came out victorious via a Raheem Sterling finish.
Much focus will be placed in Liverpool as well as the Merseyside Derby returns to Anfield for what is an expected physical affair with more than bragging implications.
Across the English Channel, Ligue 1’s leader and Champions League quarterfinalist AS Monaco will face French champions Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe de Ligue Final at a neutral venue in Lyon.
Italy’s Seria A, will feature a clash of top-three sides when Napoli takes on leader Juventus. Both teams endeavor to dodge their fifth loss of the current season in this Italian derby.
