With their European conquest coming to an abrupt end earlier this week, Pep Guardiola and Manchester City now return their primary focus to the English Premier League for the remainder of the season.
Regaining their footing after crashing out of the UEFA Champions League’s round of 16 won’t be easy for City, however, as it will host a top-four tilt at Etihad Stadium on Saturday when Liverpool comes to visit.
Guardiola’s squad, though, will be coming in on a six-match unbeaten streak in league play while Jurgen Klopp and his men have won just three of their nine matches since beating City, 1-0, back on New Year’s Eve.
This battle between the third- and fourth-place team in the league could be a chance for the top two clubs in Chelsea and Tottenham to create some distance when they take on Stoke City and Southampton, respectively.
As for the action in Spain, each of the top four teams in La Liga will have a difficult task at hand this weekend as Real Madrid visits Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona hosts Valencia and Atlético Madrid faces off against Sevilla.
Stateside, MLS heads into its third week of action, with the reigning championships Seattle Sounders hosting the New York Red Bulls to cap the fixtures on Sunday night.
