There may be no loosening of Chelsea’s grip on the English Premier League title, but Arsenal can at least make the Blues work harder for it in their weekend clash.

The Gunners host Chelsea on Sunday in a clash that could still have implications on how the top four clubs finish. While Arsenal are 10 points behind league leaders Chelsea, the club is still two points ahead of fourth-place Manchester City with an automatic bid into the UEFA Champions League group stage on the line.

Cesc Fabregas will also be returning to the home of his former club for the first time since his switch to Barcelona in 2011. Last time around it was the Spaniard’s new club who got the better of Arsenal, 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in October.

Bayern Munich can all but claim the Bundesliga title on Saturday against Hertha Berlin. A win for the defending champions would at least maintain a 12-point advantage over second place Wolfsburg with four games remaining.

Sampdoria can climb even with fourth-place Napoli on points with a win during Sunday’s Serie A action.

A clash of titans in Liga MX is also a clash of top teams on Sunday in El Super Clasico, when CD Guadalajara hosts Club America. First-place Guadalajara is attempting to consolidate its position in the table, while America can draw even on points with its big rival with a win.

Finally, MLS offers up three nationally televised matches on Soccer Sunday, starting with New York Red Bulls and LA Galaxy. Orlando City hosts Toronto FC later in the evening, before the night wraps up with a Cascadia Cup clash between the Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers.
