Coming off polar opposite results in their respective UEFA Champions League openers earlier in the week, Chelsea and Arsenal will square off in the Premier League on Saturday to take center stage among European soccer this weekend.
After picking up just four points through five league matches, Chelsea found its stride on Wednesday, picking up a comprehensive 4-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv in their UCL Group G clash. Arsenal, on the other hand, did not have much to celebrate about as they fell 2-1 on the road to Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia.
Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund — which has collected a maximum of 12 points with a 15-3 goal differential so far in the season — will look to continue the best start in Bundesliga’s 53-year history when it hosts Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday.
Also facing off will be the top two sides in Serie A at the moment. Inter, after going 3-for-3 to start its season, is leading the top flight in Italian soccer for the first time in five years, and it will look continue its stay there when it visits second-place Chievo Verona.

Thank you for the format change. Definitely appreciate you guys responding to feedback.
i like the new format!
also, Fox choosing to not put all Bundesliga games on Fox Sports Go is a joke. are they complacent with the crap ratings so far? why not boost the internet streaming numbers by simply adding these games to the cable-subscription app in addition to the pay-for app? makes no sense. but it’s Fox, so no surprise there.
Bundesliga matches that are on Fox Sport 1 or 2 are also on Fox Sports Go…have to watch them live though.
obviously. but that’s not what i complained about. for Bundesliga matches NOT on FS1 or FS2, they should be on Fox Sports Go and not just FoxSoccer2Go. NBC does this for all EPL games. they are ALL available on their app even if they aren’t on TV.
Thank you for adding the competition.
