Der Klassiker the standout fixture as Dortmund vs Bayern Munich headlines the top live games to watch on Saturday
Several of Europe's top leagues kick off the upcoming rounds on Friday, with Brighton vs Burnley ushering in Matchday 8 of the Premier League hours before Newcastle take on Southampton at the St. Mary's Stadium. Matchday 7 in the Bundesliga gets underway with the 2:30 PM ET clash between ninth-placed Werder Bremen and a 16th-placed Koln side in search of their first league win of the season. Ligue 1 and the Serie A are no different, with Sassuolo vs Udinese kick starting an exciting round in the Italian top-flight while Marseille raises the curtain on Matchday 10 in France with their trip to second-from-bottom Strasbourg.
Saturday is when the excitement begins, starting off with Everton vs Man United at 7:30 AM ET live on NBC Sports and SiriusXM FC in the USA. This is a must-win game for the Red Devils, who have won only one of their last four fixtures across all competitions. Their last two games ended in defeats, with Ole's side losing 1-0 at home to Arsenal last weekend and then 2-1 to İstanbul Başakşehir in the UEFA Champions League, heaping more pressure on the under-fire Solskjaer. Rashford and Co. sit in 15th in the standings and could drop to within a point of the relegation zone should they lose at Goodison Park. It should be noted that the Toffees, who are fourth in the table, are winless in their last three EPL games, losing their last two (2-0 to Southampton and 2-1 to Newcastle).
Can Man Utd bounce back with their trip to Everton?
The standout game on Saturday, however, is Dortmund vs Bayern Munich at 12:30 PM ET. ESPN+ will bring the first Der Klassiker of the 2020/21 Bundesliga season live to the screens as Lewandowski and Co. look to pull ahead of their bitter rivals in the standings. The defending champions are level on points with Dortmund – but top the table on goal difference – and could widen their advantage with a victory. This match will also see Lewandowski, who is currently averaging a goal every 37 minutes this season, go head-to-head with Haaland, who has five goals in as many games. Do not miss this showdown.
Who will emerge triumphant? Favre or Flick?
Barcelona take on Real Betis in La Liga later that same day, with this 10:15 AM kick-off being aired live to US fans on beIN Sports and Fanatiz USA, as Messi and Co. look to end their four-game winless run in the Spanish top-flight. An in-form Chelsea side host Sheffield United at 12:30 PM ET having kept five consecutive clean sheets and having scored 10 goals in their last three outings. PSG's home clash with Rennes wraps up Saturday's fun as Tuchel's men look to bounce back from their disappointing 2-1 loss to RB Leipzig in the UCL.
Man City vs Liverpool leads Super Sunday's list of fixtures as EPL's two top dogs battle it out this weekend
Super Sunday is the best way to describe this day's list of fixtures. The excitement kicks off as early as 6:30 AM ET with Lazio vs Juventus live on ESPN as the Bianconeri look to take advantage of the return of Cristiano to turn around their form in the league. The Eagles, meanwhile, have won two in a row in Serie A after going three straight matches without a win and will be looking to add the Old Lady to their list of victims. At 9:00 AM ET, Atalanta and Inter Milan will lock horns on the back of disappointing UEFA Champions League defeats, losing 5-0 to Liverpool and 3-2 to Real Madrid respectively. ESPN+ will broadcast Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia M'gladbach live as the fifth-placed away side look to leapfrog Die Werkself in fourth – the hosts are only a point ahead. There are two box-office fixtures on Sunday, the earlier of the two being a 11:30 AM ET English Premier League showdown.
That match is none other than Man City vs Liverpool (live on Peacock and SiriusXM FC). These two teams were the clear favorites to win the league at the beginning of the season and while they remain the best bets, the race to clinch the English top-flight title is way more competitive due to setbacks suffered by both the Citizens and the Reds. Klopp's side are without Virgil Van Dijk for what looks to be the remainder of the season. While the Merseyside giants have won all five of the matches that followed the Dutchman's serious knee injury, conceding a total of two goals while keeping three clean sheets, the defending champions are more vulnerable at the back. The heroics of Salah and Mane have been crucial while the impressive displays from summer signing Diogo Jota have been significant as well. Guardiola, on the other hand, has had to make do without a senior no.9 due to injuries to Aguero and Jesus, though the latter has returned and is fit for this clash. There has been only one goalless draw in the last 20 editions of this fixture so we can expect an exciting game. The question is who will come away with all three points? Tune in to find out.
Thiago is yet another key player out for Liverpool for their trip to the Etihad Stadium
The other mouthwatering game on Sunday is Valencia vs Real Madrid. Los Blancos are only a point adrift of table-toppers Real Sociedad with a game in-hand, and are eight points ahead of not only their weekend opponents, but also bitter rivals Barcelona. Zidane's men enter this tie on the back of a confidence-boosting 3-2 victory over Inter Milan in the UCL and while it was not the most convincing of displays from the Spanish giants, it was a victory nonetheless. While Valencia boast only one win from their last seven games, the Mestalla is never an easy ground to visit. In fact, in their last six trips there, Los Merengues have triumphed only twice. Do not miss this encounter.
There are several other fixtures worth mentioning. Man City vs Liverpool isn't the only interesting Premier League tie to watch on Sunday. Second-placed Leicester and sixth-placed Wolves lock horns at the King Power Stadium at 9:00 AM ET (live on NBC Sports and SiriusXM FC) as both sides look to narrow the gap with Liverpool – or even leapfrog in the case of the Foxes. At 2:15 PM ET, Arsenal will host Aston Villa and will look to build on their recent Old Trafford win by beating Grealish and Co. at the Emirates Stadium. Fanatiz USA, GOLTV, and Benfica TV INT. will bring Benfica vs Sporting Braga live to the US screens in what should be an thrilling battle between two clubs sitting in second and third, respectively, in the Portuguese league. The Eagles are aiming to bounce back from their 3-0 loss to Boavista last time around and risk losing further ground on league leaders Sporting CP should they suffer another setback.

Elsewhere, Hungary will take on Iceland, Northern Ireland will battle it out with Slovakia, and Serbia will lock horns with Scotland in the standout fixture. The Tartan Terriers are on an eight-match unbeaten run, their longest streak since the mid-80s, but will face a side who despite all their inconsistencies, can be brilliant when they get things right.

Key headlines from the world of football
Pochettino already lined up as Solskjaer's successor
Given the current struggles at Man United, the club have reportedly already lined up Mauricio Pochettino as Ole's successor. According to talkSPORT, the Norwegian boss will not be sacked before the Everton game but confidence from the board is declining after failing to win any of their first four home league games.
Is Pochettino the right man to replace Ole?
Barcelona icon Dani Alves aims another dig at Bartomeu board
Dani Alves, despite establishing himself as one of the best fullbacks in history during his time at Camp Nou, was allowed the leave Barcelona for free. The Brazilian has never shied away from slamming the board for the treatment he received in his final years and has aimed another dig at Bartomeu and the then board of directors for failing to re-sign him after his short but successful two-year spell with Juventus.
"I wanted to return to Barca and they needed me, but they didn't have the balls to admit that they were wrong with me," Alves said. "If they had treated me as I thought I deserved, today I would still continue playing for Barca. I love this club."
