Saturday's fixtures
Man United vs Watford at 11:00 ET/15:00 GMT
Broadcast listings: NBC Sports, UNIVERSO, Telemundo Deportes En Vivo, and SiriusXM FC in the USA; TSN in Canada; and Optus Sport in Australia
Preview: The Premier League is back. Man United will welcome Watford on Saturday which will be their first game since appointing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their permanent boss. This decision came as little surprise as no manager has picked up more points than the Norwegian since he arrived at Old Trafford.
However, the Red Devils lost their last game -- a 2-0 defeat at Arsenal -- and face a Watford side that sits eighth in the league. Who will win this clash? Tune in to find out.
Barcelona vs Espanyol at 11:15 ET/15:15GMT
Broadcast listings: beIN Sports, Fanatiz USA, Radio Barca in the USA; DAZN, beIN Sports, and Radio Barca in Canada; beIN Sports, Radio Barca, and Kayo Sports in Australia; beIN Sports and Movistar+ in Spain
Preview: Barcelona resumes their title defense on Saturday with a clash with Espanyol. The Blaugrana will host their rival in yet another Catalan Derby, with Valverde's men hoping to maintain their 10-point lead at the top.
Questions have been asked about the fitness of Messi after the five-time Ballon d'Or picked up a knock upon his return to Argentina. Initially, it was thought that he would only be back in time for the trip to Man United but it appears that La Pulga could feature this weekend, alongside Suarez, after training with his team-mates.

Sporting Braga vs Porto at 11:30 ET/15:30 GMT
Broadcast listings: GOLTV and Fanatiz USA in the USA; Sport TV1 and Antena 1 - RTP in Portugal
Preview: This will be a crucial game for both sides. For Braga, the opportunity to move within two points of Porto and the final Champions League spot is at stake. The fact fourth-placed Sporting CP is only three points behind makes this game all the more important for the Archbishops.
For Porto, losing ground in the title race is a risk. They are currently tied on points with Benfica, trailing on goal difference. The Eagles will take on relegation-battling Tondela in what should be a straight-forward win, meaning the Dragons cannot afford to drop points. Don't miss this showdown!
This is how the table looks like in Portugal
Liverpool vs Tottenham at 11:30 ET/15:30 GMT
Broadcast listings: NBC Sports, SiriusXM FC, and Telemundo in the USA; Sky Sports in the UK; Sportsnet in Canada; Optus Sport in Australia
Preview: This is the game to watch in the Premier League. Liverpool, having stolen back the lead from Man City, will host Tottenham in one of their only two remaining clashes with their top-six rivals.
As for Tottenham, failure to win could mean dropping from the third spot. Arsenal is only a point behind while Man United could go level with Spurs. Pochettino's men are without a victory in their last four league games and will thus need to return to winning ways or risk missing out on a Champions League spot.
Spurs will be without Winks and Dier for this clash
