Barcelona vs Atletico, Bayern Munich vs Dortmund, the FA Cup semi-finals, and Juventus vs AC Milan are just a few of the exciting games coming up.

The excitement kicks off on Friday

Southampton vs Liverpool at 15:00 ET/19:00 GMT

Broadcast listings: NBC Sports, Universo, and Telemundo Deportes En Vivo in the USA; Sky Sports in the UK; TSN in Canada; Optus Sport in Australia

Preview: With Man City not playing in the Premier League this weekend, Liverpool can regain the top spot from the Citizens. In their way is a relegation-battling Southampton side that seeks to put as much distance between themselves and the danger zone as possible.

Klopp's men could be without Van Dijk, the star center-back who sparred them a defeat against Tottenham. He picked up a knock in that 2-1 win over Spurs. A Champions League spot will be confirmed with a win at St. Mary's Stadium but Klopp's men have their eyes on one prize and one prize only: the title.

Juventus vs Milan at 12:00 ET/16:00 GMT

Broadcast listings: ESPN+ in the USA; Premier Sports 1 in the UK; TLN and DAZN in Canada; beIN Sports Connect and Kayo Sports in Australia; Sky Italia in Italy

Preview: This will be another crucial league game without Cristiano Ronaldo. While Juventus has won all their games in Serie A since the Portuguese ace got injured during the international break, their clash with AC Milan will be a whole new test.

The Scudetto title rests comfortably in the Bianconeri's hand but the Rossoneri are in the midst of a heated top-four race. Piatek will be hoping to inspire Gattuso's men to a crucial win but beating the league leader won't be an easy task.

Broadcast listings: ESPN+ in the USA; BBC in the UK; Sportsnet in Canada; Kayo Sports and ESPN in Australia

Preview: A spot in the FA Cup final is at stake for these two sides. For Man City, their quest fort the quadruple is at risk. Furthermore, with their Champions League clash with Tottenham fast approaching and Aguero recovering from injury, Guardiola might not be able to risk a strong squad. For Brighton, a dream final is within their grasp. All they have to do is overcome Goliath.

For Simeone's men, they could make the title race all the trickier for Valverde's crew should they win at Camp Nou. That would put Griezmann and Co. within five points of the Catalan giant. This promises to be an exciting showdown.

Broadcast listings: Telemundo and NBC Sports in the USA; Sky Sports and BBC Radio 5 Live in the UK; TSN in Canada; Optus Sport in Australia

Preview: This will be an important trip in Arsenal's race to finish in the top four. With Man United having lost to Wolves, the Gunners can widen the gap between themselves and the Red Devils while reclaiming the third spot from Tottenham.
