Saturday's standout tie
Catch this game at 10/15 ET/15:15 GMT on beIN Sports and Radio Barca in the USA; DAZN, beIN Sports, and Radio Barca in Canada; beIN Sports, Kayo Sports, and Radio Barca in Australia; and beIN Sports and Movistar+ in Spain.
After their disappointing draw with Lyon in the Champions League, Barcelona will head straight back to action in La Liga. Next up for the league leader is a crucial clash with Sevilla in the Spanish Primera Division.
Messi and Co. enjoy a seven-point lead in La Liga and will not want to drop points. However, this is one of two tricky back-to-back away games -- the other is their trip to Real Madrid for the Copa del Rey semi-finals. It will be interesting to see if Valverde rests a few key players ahead of that crucial midweek trip to the Bernabeu.
Messi has scored some memorable goals against Sevilla, but will he be rested on Saturday?

This is the highlight game of the Premier League this weekend. England's two most successful clubs will reignite their rivalry. For Man United, this will be an opportunity to get revenge for the 3-1 loss the suffered at Anfield earlier this season, a result which resulted in Mourinho's sacking.
Solskjaer has even stated that he's open to Ferguson given a dressing room speech to his players to remind them how big this game is. The Red Devils have received a huge boost ahead of this game, with the manager admitting that Martial and Lingard could be fit for this tie.

As for Liverpool, the task is simple: win to avoid fears of letting the title slip. Klopp's men have drawn four of the last five games in all competitions and will have to be at their best to beat Pogba and Co. Don't miss this clash!

Straight after that disappointing 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid, Juventus will travel to Bologna in Serie A. Cristiano Ronaldo faced some criticism in that game for taunting the Madrid giant after the defeat, but the Portuguese ace and his team-mates sole focus will be on bouncing back. Will they? Tune in to find out.

Everyone will be eagerly anticipating this Carabao Cup final between Chelsea and Man City. For the Blues, it's a perfect opportunity to get revenge for that 6-0 defeat they suffered at the Etihad Stadium nearly two weeks ago. Defeat to the Citizens will only make things worse for the under-fire Maurizio Sarri, who has come under heavy criticism from his own team's fans.
For Guardiola's men, this is the first available silverware in their quest for the quadruple. They head into this game on the back of their comeback victory over Schalke in the Champions League but will hope for a more solid display this time around.

Cerezo: Cristiano has only three UCL titles
Remember when Cristiano taunted Atletico by reminding everyone that they have zero Champions League titles compared to his five? Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has hit back, arguing that in his eyes, Ronaldo has only three titles. Find it hard wrapping your head around that? You are not the only one.
Cerezo: Cristiano only has three European titles
Atletico president Cerezo: "Cristiano Only has three UCLs and for one very simple reason... Both against Atlético he didn't win. Who won them? That, we'll talk about in the next interview."

Who's gonna tell him that's still 3 UCLs more than Atletico in their 116 year history?
