Man United vs Man City, Real Madrid vs Atletico, Liverpool vs Tottenham, PSG vs Lyon, and the UCL draw are just a few of the top events to make our list.

From the Manchester Derby to the Madrid Derby: Everything to look forward to this weekend

The action in Europe's top leagues begins on Friday, with Marcelo Bielsa's exciting Leeds United side kicking off Matchday 12 in the English Premier League with a home clash vs West Ham while fifth-placed Wolfsburg commence round 11 in the Bundesliga with their game versus ninth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt. However, Saturday is when the fun begins, with two highly-anticipated weekend derbies scheduled to take place on the same day: the Manchester Derby and the Madrid Derby.

Man United vs Man City is the earlier of the two games, kicking off at 12:30 PM ET on NBC Sports, Telemundo, and SiriusXM FC. The Red Devils head into this tie on the back of their heartbreaking 3-2 loss at RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League over the midweek, a result which saw Solskjaer's men crash out of the competition and drop into the UEFA Europa League. Ole once again finds himself under pressure and must beat their "noisy neighbors" in order to atone for his recent disappointment. Only a point separates the two clubs, with Bruno Fernandes and Co. boasting that slim advantage. Form also favors the Old Trafford side, albeit just slightly, as Man Utd are on a four-game winning streak while the Citizens boast only two victories from their last four English top-flight fixtures. It will be interesting to see who comes away with the three points and the bragging rights.

A few hours later, Real Madrid vs Atletico kicks off, with this 3:00 PM ET showdown set to be aired live for US fans on beIN Sports and Fanatiz USA. Los Blancos enter this clash fresh off their confidence-boosting 2-0 victory over Borussia M'gladbach in the UEFA Champions League, a result which saw them win their group and book their spot in the knockout stage of Europe's premier club tournament. However, things have not been perfect in their title defense, with Zidane's men trailing their city rivals, who are the league leaders, by six points. Victory over Los Rojiblancos would see Real Madrid slash that deficit but one cannot take Simeone's side lightly.

That same day, Everton will lock horns with third-placed Chelsea at Goodison Park as Ancelotti's side aim to rekindle their form, having won only once in their last seven ties. The action continues on Sunday, with Inter Milan visiting Cagliari at 6:30 AM ET live on ESPN+ as the Nerazzurri look to get over their recent UCL exit. The 9:15 AM ET London derby between Crystal Palace and Tottenham makes NBC Sports' fixtures list as Mourinho's table-toppers lock horns with Zaha and Co. in what should be an interesting encounter. Liverpool visit 17th-placed Fulham while out-of-form Arsenal host Burnley with the sole purpose of ending their dreadful four-game winless run in the Premier League.

Elsewhere, Serie A leaders AC Milan host 16th-placed Parma while defending champions Juventus, fresh off their excellent 3-0 win at Barcelona in the UCL, visit second-from-bottom Genoa. Speaking of the Blaugrana, the Catalan giants, who are ninth in the table and a whopping 12 points adrift of the top spot, host Levante amid a horrendous two-game losing streak. Sunday's standout fixture, however, takes place in Ligue 1 with title-holders PSG hosting third-placed Lyon in the exciting 3:00 PM ET kick-off (live on beIN SPORTS CONNECT and Fanatiz USA). Neymar and Co. have already lost three times in the French top-flight this season – that's two more defeats than their opponent have suffered – and could be leapfrogged by Les Gones in the standings should the visitors emerge victorious. Can the likes of Depay and Aouar beat Les Parisiens or will Mbappe and friends run riot come this weekend clash? Tune in to find out!

UCL and UEL ushers in exciting midweek schedule as the action in Europe's top leagues continues throughout the weekdays

Monday is all about the UEFA Champions League and Europa League draw, with the knockout stage fixtures for Europe's two club competitions being decided in succession. The event kicks off at 6:00 AM ET live on UEFA TV and YouTube, with TUDN and CBS All Access also providing live coverage for fans in the United States. The rules remain intact: teams from the same country or same group cannot be drawn against each other at this stage of both competitions. In the Champions League, all eyes will be on Barcelona as Messi and Co. dropped into pot 2 after finishing as runners-up behind Juventus, meaning they will face Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Dortmund, or PSG in the last 16. As for the Europa League, Arsenal, Roma, Leverkusen, Rangers, AC Milan, Napoli, and Tottenham are a few of the group winners and are thus in pot 1. They are joined by the four seeded teams that dropped into this tournament via the UCL and they are Manchester United, Club Brugge, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Ajax. The other four third-placed clubs from the UEFA Champions League group stage enter pot 2 with the 12 UEL group stage runners-up.

Introducing your UCL last 16!

UEFA Champions League, Round of 16, UCL Draw

Come Tuesday, the focus shifts back to the pitch, with Wolves vs Chelsea at 1:00 PM ET being one of the standout December 15 games. Elsewhere in the English Premier League, Man City host second-from-bottom West Brom in what should be a tough test for the relegation-battling Hawthorns. Real Madrid vs Athletic Club is the fixture to watch as the Basque outfit aim to end their 15-year wait for a win at Santiago Bernabeu. 

Wednesday will see two stellar Serie A showdowns occur, with Juventus taking on Atalanta at 12:30 PM ET and Inter Milan hosting Napoli at 2:45 PM ET (both games will be aired in the US via ESPN). Gian Piero Gasperini's exciting side have suffered a few disappointing results as of late but a win in Turin would be the perfect way to turn things around. Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri and the Partenopei are hot on the trail of leaders AC Milan, meaning this Stadio Giuseppe Meazza battle could see one side – or even both – lose unwanted ground in the Scudetto race.

Similarly, the English Premier League has two thrillers scheduled for Wednesday, with Arsenal hosting Southampton at 1:00 PM ET and Liverpool locking horns with Tottenham at 3:00 PM ET. As mentioned early, the Gunners are struggling for form in the English top-flight, winning only four and losing six of their opening 11 games. The Saints, on the other hand, have picked up 20 points from a possible 33 and find themselves in the top half of the table. As for Spurs, they will be facing the toughest test of the 2020/21 campaign: a trip to the Reds' fearsome home ground. Will Mourinho's men pull off the impossible and win a league game at Anfield? Don't miss this clash.  

That same day, Barcelona will lock horns with Real Sociedad, one of the best teams in Spain this season. The Blaugrana, on the other hand, have been nothing but poor and will need to overcome La Real in order to make ground in La Liga. Those looking for something interesting to watch on Thursday can tune in to ESPN+ and their coverage of Roma vs Torino as the relegation-battling Turin outfit go in search of a win at the Stadio Olimpico at 2:45 PM ET.

TUDN's 2020 coverage of North American leagues wraps up this weekend with MLS Cup and Liga MX finals

This weekend will see two of the most important 2020 fixtures in North American football take place: the MLS Cup and the Liga MX finals. Major League Soccer will reach its conclusion first, with Columbus Crew and Seattle Sounders locking horns in the ultimate game at 8:30 PM ET on Saturday (Fox Sports and UniMas will broadcast this game live alongside TUDN). The Crew haven't conceded in 210 minutes of the playoffs and this is despite the fact that no.1 goalkeeper Eloy Room has been. The Sounders, meanwhile, are no strangers to this fixture as they push for a third MLS Cup title in five years.

The 2020 MLS Cup Final takes place this weekend? Are you backing the Crew or the Sounders?

Over to Liga MX, the Torneo Guardianes will come to an end on Sunday, with Leon and Pumas UNAM battling it out in the second and last leg of the final. Their first encounter took place on Thursday and ended in a 1-1 draw, meaning everything is up for grabs in this weekend's finale. 

Are their interesting matches in women's soccer to watch in the next seven days?

We are glad you asked, because the answer is yes! This Sunday, two of the best teams in the FA Women's Super League will lock horns in the form of Man City vs Arsenal. Man United currently top the table with 20 points but the Gunners are only a point behind, thus increasing the importance of this weekend clash. Unfortunately, Vivianne Miedema and Co. have lost their last two encounters with their Manchester rivals, including a FA Women's Cup semi-final defeat. On Tuesday, Lyon will face off against Juventus in the second leg of their UEFA Women's Champions League round of 32 match-up. The French powerhouse, who are the reigning champions in Europe, boast a 3-2 aggregate lead and will look to book their spot in the last 16 in a bid to win the title for a groundbreaking sixth consecutive year.
