Monday's must-watch game
This is the game of Matchday 10 in the Premier League. Kick-off is at 16:00 ET/20:00 GMT on NBC Sports, SiriusXM FC, Telemundo Deportes En Vivo, and Universo in the USA; Sky Sports and BBC Radio in the UK; Sportsnet in Canada; and Optus Sport in Australia.
This tie will be a crucial one for both Tottenham and Man City. For Spurs, an opportunity to strengthen their claim on a top-four spot is at stake given Arsenal's slip-up on Sunday. The Gunners drew 2-2 at Palace to see their winning streak come to an end, with Pochettino's men able to leapfrog both their north London rival and the defending champion into third with a victory.

Serie A comes with a banger
Serie A has it's own banger in store for Monday. Kick-off is at 15:30 ET/19:30 GMT on ESPN+ in the USA; Eleven Sports 1 UK in the United Kingdom; DAZN in Canada; beIN Sports in Australia; and Sky Italia and Lazio Style Channel in Italy.
Inter Milan will head into this clash on the back of an impressive Serie A win. The Italian giant lost 2-0 in the Champions League against Barcelona in their most recent game; however, the dramatic Milan Derby triumph remains fresh in the memory of the players and fans.
This fixture could result in a shift in the standings. Currently, the Nerazzurri occupies the third spot. However, Lazio is only a point behind and could leapfrog them with a victory at home. What will be the outcome of this fixture? Tune in to find out.
Only a point separates these two sides
Europe hopefuls vs the relegation fearing
Kick-off for this game is at 12:00 ET/17:00 GMT on beIN Sports in the USA and Australia; DAZN and beIN Sports in Canada; and beIN Sports and Digiturk Play in Turkey.
What significance does this game carry? For Besiktas, it's a lot. The result of this game could cost them heavily in the race to qualify for Europe in the long run. Currently, the Black Eagles sit in the seventh spot but they could climb back up to fourth and a point away from Galatasaray with a win.
As for Rizespor, their sole aim is to avoid the drop. They currently sit in the danger zone, as they hold the 16th spot with only eight points. A shock win, though, could lift them up to 14th.
