A pair of MLS alumni will be facing off this weekend in a match-up with serious English Premier League relegation ramifications when Kei Kamara and Norwich City take on Brad Guzan and Aston Villa in one of the weekend’s more intriguing match-ups.

There are more high-profile match-ups like Bayern Munich-Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea-Manchester United, but in terms of a match involving two teams that badly need a result, few are more meaningful this weekend than Norwich City’s clash with the Villans, who are riding high after their thrashing of Sunderland earlier in the week.

One match-up that always carry importance, no matter the standings, is the Merseyside Derby, and Everton will visit Anfield this weekend with a chance to ensure that they finish ahead of Liverpool this season. The Reds don’t have suspended forward Luis Suarez, but they should still present a tough challenge for Tim Howard and the Toffees, who still carry Europa League hopes into the match.

The battle for first place in Mexico will headline things on this side of the Atlantic as Jose Torres and UANL Tigres face off against Club America. The winner will secure the top spot in the Clausura playoffs.
