English Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester United meet this weekend in London with only one point separating the pair in the top-four race.
Cristiano Ronaldo will play no part for the Red Devils following his actions in Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Tottenham. Ronaldo was seen leaving the Manchester United bench before the final whistle, reportedly turning down Erik Ten Hag’s wishes for him to come on as a late substitute at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are unbeaten in five-consecutive matches, sitting just one point behind Chelsea ahead of Saturday’s showdown at Stamford Bridge. Marcus Rashford and Antony have six combined league goals this season.
Chelsea is unbeaten in seven-straight despite failing to score in Wednesday’s goal-less draw at Brentford. Christian Pulisic delivered a lively cameo off the bench for Graham Potter’s squad and will be pushing to start this weekend. Reece James’ recent injury will force some defensive changes for the Blues.
The MLS playoffs continue this weekend with Austin FC facing FC Dallas in a first-ever playoff showdown. FC Dallas is unbeaten against Austin FC in five league matches and will be eager to upset the No. 2 seed at Q2 Stadium. Defending MLS Cup champions New York City FC hits the road this weekend for a match against CF Montreal at Stade Saputo.
In Italy, the biggest match of the weekend is AS Roma hosting Napoli. Napoli appears to be the best team in Serie A and arguably all of Europe at the moment. Jose Mourinho and his team can rise within a point of Napoli with a win.
