As calendars flip to 2016 this weekend, clubs around the world are hoping the new year will be one filled with success for themselves. Arsenal, for one, has set itself up in an optimal position to achieve just that.

The Gunners are currently tied atop the English Premier League table with Leicester City at the midway point while holding a three-goal lead in goal differential. To begin taking its steps toward securing a league title, Arsene Wenger’s club will take on 18th-place Newcastle United on Saturday to kick off the second half of its season.

Leicester City and third-place Manchester City, on the other hand, will face a couple of promotion sides in Bournemouth and Watford, respectively, in hopes of keeping pace. Other enticing matches in the EPL this weekend include Everton taking on fourth-place Tottenham, fifth-place Crystal Palace hosting Chelsea and Manchester United squaring off against Swansea City.

Elsewhere, La Liga leader Barcelona — with Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal finally available after their transfer bans have been lifted — will pay a visit to Espanyol while Atlético and Real Madrid try keep up when they go up against Levante and Valencia, respectively.

Sixth-place Deportivo La Coruña, meanwhile, will try to catch up to the team ahead of itself in the table in Villarreal when the two sides battle at Estadio Riazor.

Also in action this weekend is French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain, who will participate in Coupe de France action against Wasquehal.
