This Weekend’s Soccer on TV

Chelsea+v+Arsenal+Premier+League+OKKQ56PpCUsl

It has been 22 years since this wide of a point gap has separated the two storied London rivals, but for Arsenal and Chelsea, Sunday’s London derby still has plenty at stake.

The Gunners, who currently sit atop the table in the English Premier League with 44 points, alongside Leicester City, are 19 points clear of their longtime adversary, which sits in 14th place as defending champion. The last time Arsenal led by this many points against Chelsea prior to a face-off was in January of 1994, when the gap was at 20.

Arsenal will look to create some cushion between itself and Leicester City at the expense of Chelsea at Emirates Stadium on Sunday, but the Blues are surely hoping for a repeat performance from their 2-0 win over the Gunners back in September — a match filled with physicality.

As for Leicester City, it will take on Stoke City at home while the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham go up against West Ham United, Southampton and Crystal Palace, respectively.

Over in Germany, the Bundesliga returns to action after a month of break with table-leading Bayern Munich visiting Hamburg SV. Second-place Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, will travel to fourth-place Borussia Mönchengladbach.

On the ledger for La Liga this weekend include an enticing fixture between league-leading Atlético Madrid and Sevilla. Barcelona and Real Madrid, meanwhile, will both be on the road to take on Málaga and Real Betis, respectively.

As for Serie A, Juventus looks to keep its 10-match winning streak rolling against rival Roma, while also hoping to overtake first-place Napoli, which will visit Sampdoria.

Not to be lost in the shuffle is a friendly for the U.S. Women’s National Team, which will compete in its first match in the post-Abby Wambach era against Ireland.
