The first weekend of the new year continues as the last one ended, with many countries on winter break.
England has taken no break and will be returning to FA Cup action beginning on Friday. The lone game on the day features Mauricio Pochettino’s men visiting Tranmere Rovers. Other matches from the competition include Manchester United’s match at Old Trafford against Reading, and Arsenal’s visit to Blackpool.
La Liga action returned on Thursday and will continue through the weekend with Atletico Madrid’s match against Sevilla amongst the most talked about. Barcelona are also set to return as they face Getafe while Real Madrid host Real Sociedad.
French fans will also get to see some of their teams this weekend following a short winter break. Coupe de France returns this weekend and will see Paris Saint-Germain take on GSI Pontivy, a club in France’s fifth division.
