Preview: Arsenal will be aiming to bounce back from their 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace last weekend when they take on Sheffield on Saturday. The Gunners languish in 10th spot and are a whopping 11 points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. Unfortunately, Arteta has a selection headache as several key players are unavailable, from the suspended Aubameyang to the injured Kolasinac and Torreira. Will the north London giants win this tie?

Preview: The reigning champions head into this game fresh off their 6-1 win over Aston Villa. Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick in that game to overtake Thierry Henry as the all-time leading non-English goalscorer in the Premier League and is now in the top five overall top scorers in this competition's history. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have won only once in their last eight games. Will this be an easy victory for Man City? Don't miss this clash!
Aguero set two records in the 6-1 win over Aston Villa last weekend

Preview: After winning only two of six Premier League games between late November and late December, Chelsea have now gone on to win all but one of their last four games, including wins at Arsenal and at home against Burnley. The Blues hold the fourth and final Champions League spot by a five-point lead and could stretch this gap due to fifth-placed Man United's trip to Anfield this weekend. However, for this to occur, they must first beat Newcastle, who are winless in their last four league games.
Real Madrid vs Sevilla at 10:00 ET/15:00 GMT

Preview: Real Madrid return to action in La Liga for the first time since winning the Supercopa de Espana in Saudi Arabia. Los Blancos overcame Valencia in the semis before beating neighbors Atletico in the final on penalties, making it nine wins out of nine in finals for Zidane as their manager. However, the focus shifts back to the league where only goal difference separates them and league leaders Barcelona. Sevilla will be no easy task for Benzema and Co. but they could capitalize on the Blaugrana's sluggish start to the year and recent managerial change.
What to watch on Sunday, January 19, 2020
Liverpool vs Man United at 11:30 ET/16:30 GMT
Broadcast listings: NBCSports.com, NBC Sports App, Telemundo Deportes En Vivo, NBCSN, Telemundo in the USA; SKY GO Extra, Sky Sports Premier League, Sky Sports Main Event in the UK; DAZN in Canada; Optus Sport in Australia
Preview: This is the game to watch this weekend. Liverpool and Man United will reignite their heated rivalry on Sunday, this time locking horns at Anfield. Gone are the days when Man United dominated the Premier League, with the Merseyside giants being the most rampant side in the English top-flight currently. Klopp's men are yet to lose a single game, drawing once and winning all of their other league matches so far. The Reds recently went to Tottenham and beat them 1-0, maintaining their 14-point lead at the top.
Nonetheless, the only time Liverpool dropped points against was the Red Devils. Solskjaer's men head into this clash on the back of successive wins, including the 4-0 thrashing of Norwich in the league. Despite their inconsistency, Rashford and Co. have been impressive against their top-six rivals, for the most part, losing only once in seven encounters so far. Will they be able to pick up points at Anfield or even end their unbeaten run? Tune in to find out.
Barcelona vs Granada at 15:00 ET/20:00 GMT

Preview: This game will see Quique Setien make his debut at Barcelona. The newly-appointed manager went from being unemployed to being in charge of the Blaugrana after Ernesto Valverde's sacking following their Supercopa de Espana semi-final defeat against Atletico. This appointment has brought excitement back to Camp Nou following the frustrations with the previous boss but it remains a mystery how the Spaniard will manage a European giant, with his only two previous Liga sides being Las Palmas and Real Betis.
Will Setien spark an immediate response from Messi and Co?
The Catalan giants have not begun 2020 well, drawing and losing their opening two games. Fortunately, they will be playing at home this time around, a place they tend to fare well. Setien will be looking for an immediate bounce come Sunday.
