Liverpool vs Leicester at 10:00 ET/14:00 GMT

Preview: This should be an interesting clash. Leicester City, who sit third in the table, have been nothing short of impressive this season. With only one defeat from their opening seven games, they boast 14 points, two more than Arsenal, three more than Chelsea and Spurs, and five more than Man Utd.
The real test is whether they can stop Liverpool. No side has managed to pick up a point against the Reds in the league so far but there are signs of hope. Klopp's men struggled in their most recent Premier League outing, needing a blunder from the opposition goalkeeper to beat Sheffield 1-0. In the Champions League, they nearly threw away a three-goal lead to draw with Salzburg, coming out with a 4-3 win. This should be an interesting clash.
After their unimpressive defense against Salzburg, Leicester might fancy their odds vs Liverpool
Real Madrid vs Granada at 10:00 ET/14:00 GMT

Preview: Real Madrid may top the table in La Liga, but after their 2-2 draw at home to Club Brugge in the Champions League, questions are being asked of Los Blancos once more. The Spanish giants were trailing 2-0 at one point and were heading for a second consecutive European defeat this season but were saved by goals from Ramos and Casemiro, neither of which are attackers.
Hazard is yet to show his worth at the Bernabeu but what is even more worrying for the club is Thibaut Courtois. The Belgian was substituted off in Tuesday's game and it will be interesting to see if he will start against surprise-package Granada, who have beaten Barca and sit second in the table.
Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim at 09:30 ET/13:30 GMT

Preview: Bayern Munich have found their rhythm. The Bavarians are back at the top in the Bundesliga standings and are coming off of their 7-2 win at Tottenham in the Champions League. Next up is a home clash with Hoffenheim. Is another huge triumph loading? Tune in to find out.
What to watch on Sunday, October 06, 2019
Arsenal vs Bournemouth at 09:00 ET/13:00 GMT
Broadcast listings: NBC Sports App, NBCSports.com, CNBC in the USA; DAZN in Canada; Optus Sport in Australia
Preview: Arsenal's last league outing saw them draw 1-1 at Man United, a result that left several fans disappointed. With Pepe struggling and the midfield lacking creativity, Emery might switch things up in this Emirates Stadium clash with Bournemouth. Of course, he will still be keen on avoiding a repeat of the Aston Villa game in which the Gunners conceded two soft goals and nearly dropped points. Given Callum Wilson's form, this is a possibility.
Man City vs Wolves at 09:00 ET/13:00 GMT
Broadcast listings: NBC Sports App, UNIVERSO NOW, Telemundo Deportes En Vivo, NBCSN,NBCSports.com, UNIVERSO in the USA; BBC Radio Manchester in the UK; DAZN in Canada; Optus Sport in Australia
Preview: Wolves earned their first win of the season in the Premier League with their 2-0 triumph over Watford. As a result, they have now climbed to 13th in the standings. However, they are in for a whole different challenge when they take on Man City.
Guardiola's men have been rampant but they could be without key midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian picked up a groin injury and while he is expected to be fit, Pep might opt to rest his star playmaker who already has eight assists in the Premier League under his belt.
Will De Bruyne be fit for Sunday's game?
Inter Milan vs Juventus at 14:45 ET/18:45 GMT
Broadcast listings: Rai Italia America, ESPN+ in the USA; Premier Sports 2, Premier Player HD in the UK; DAZN, TLN, Rai Italia America in Canada; beIN Sports Connect, Kayo Sports, beIN Sports 1, Rai Italia Australia in Australia; Sky Sport Uno, NOW TV, SKY Go Italia, Sky Sport Serie A, Sky Calcio 1, Sky Supercalcio HD in Italy
Preview: This is the game to watch this weekend. While Inter Milan have suffered their first defeat of the season, losing 2-1 at Camp Nou in the Champions League, Antonio Conte's men boast a perfect record in Serie A and will be keen on keeping that intact when they host the Old Lady.
Juventus are the reigning champions and while they have the quality to beat any side, the Bianconeri haven't been at their best in the league lately. Sarri's men trail Inter Milan by two points and that gap could increase to five points if they lose on Sunday, making for an exciting showdown. Don't miss this clash.
Barcelona vs Sevilla at 15:00 ET/19:00 GMT
Broadcast listings: beIN SPORTS, beIN SPORTS en Español, beIN SPORTS CONNECT, Fanatiz USA in the USA; Premier Sports 1, Premier Player HD in the UK; beIN SPORTS en Español, beIN Sports Canada, beIN SPORTS CONNECT Canada in Canada; beIN Sports Connect, Kayo Sports, beIN SPORTS 2 in Australia; Movistar Laliga, Mitele Plus, Movistar+, Partidazo in Movistar LaLiga in Spain
Preview: Barcelona haven't been great this season but they are slowly improving. Messi made a return in the win over Inter Milan and despite a sluggish start from the Argentine and his Blaugrana team-mates, he captained them to a 2-1 comeback victory.
Not a bad game for a man who just returned from injury
Next up is Sevilla and with the Catalan giants sitting in fourth, a win will be crucial. Sevilla sit two spots below in 16th but are level on points with Valverde's side and given their shaky defense, the Andalusia club might fancy their chances.
