The Manchester Derby is always a special day in England, and the first edition of the new season sees the crosstown rivals come in with plenty to play for when Manchester City hosts Manchester United at the Etihad on Sunday.
Manchester City, comes into the tilt sitting in second place in the Premier League ranks, having shown some vulnerabilities to Newcastle and Aston Villa already this season, which should give Manchester United a little more encouragement than in years past.
The Red Devils will need to be ready for the seemingly inevitable Erling Haaland, though. Manchester City’s newest superstar has already put in 11 goals in his first seven Premier League appearances and should be primed to leave an impression on his new rival.
League leader Arsenal squares of with Tottenham for another rivalry showcase in England on Saturday. With seven weeks in the books, the Gunners are only on top by a single point and Tottenham, third place, is in play to swap places with a win.
In MLS action, the penultimate week of the regular season sees several teams working to clinch their playoff tickets, and some looking to stay off the elimination cutting board. Saturday’s head-to-head matchup between LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake presents the best example of teams looking to be on opposite ends of playoff destiny, and both should consider it a must-win.
The National Women’s Soccer League regular season comes to a close this weekend, and the back end of the playoff picture is still up for grabs. The season comes to a close on Sunday with the Chicago Red Stars hosting Angel City, who are fighting for the last two spots.
