This weekend’s installment of the Milan Derby will go a long way in deciding where crosstown rivals Inter Milan and AC Milan land in the final Serie A standings.
Heading into Sunday’s showdown, Inter Milan is in second and AC Milan is in fifth (one spot out of the Champions League picture), but separated by only two points. In terms of claiming the Scudetto at the end of the season, Napoli is towering over the Italian ranks but there is still enough season left to start a miraculous comeback story should the Napoletano start to slip, making Sunday a must-win for the Milan teams.
England’s drop zone watch, for the second year in a row, is headlined by Everton being in grave danger at this point in the season. The club brought in Sean Dyche on Monday to start the salvage job, but the experienced manager’s first test will be against league-leader Arsenal on Saturday in a high-stakes contest.
Tottenham will be without Antonio Conte when it squares off with Manchester City on Sunday. Conte has been sidelined with recovering from surgery and will be hoping the interim manager (who is still to be named) can keep his side in the English top-four picture against the country’s most fearsome offense.
The Seattle Sounders kick off their FIFA Club World Cup campaign against Egyptian side Al Ahly on Saturday. Of course, the Sounders are the very first American club to appear in the competition, but will need to find their midseason form quickly if they plan to stay for a while.
