5️⃣ spicy fixtures you must watch this weekend 🌶

The best football fixtures of the upcoming weekend feature a massive London derby, Der Klassiker, and the Old Firm.

Five spicy fixtures you must watch this weekend:

Leeds United vs Manchester City

We’ve got ourselves a title race with Manchester City clawing back the gap on Arsenal. City are within five points of the leaders, with a game in hand, and again have the chance to pile the pressure on by playing first this week.

The trip across the Pennines to Elland Road will be no easy task. Leeds have been strong on home soil, losing just three times in the Premier League, and a Saturday evening game is sure to create a white-hot atmosphere.

This will be a real test of City’s championship credentials.

Kick-off: 5.30pm, Sunday 28th February

Spice Rating: Mild

Roma vs Juventus

This is a massive fixture for both teams. Fourth meets fifth in Serie A as the battle for Champions League qualification heats up. Roma hold a four-point lead over Juventus and can put daylight between themselves and the Turin titans with a win on home soil.

For Juventus, fresh from an exhausting extra-time exit from the Champions League in midweek, there’s no room for error.

Kick-off: 7:45pm, Sunday 1st March

Where to watch: TNT Sports 2 and DAZN.

Spice Rating: Medium

Arsenal vs Chelsea

Arsenal badly needed their North London derby success last weekend, recovering from a mini-wobble to thrash Tottenham. Next up is another capital clash with a fierce foe, as Chelsea arrive at the Emirates.

Recent history favours the Gunners, who are unbeaten in 10 games and four-and-a-half years against Chelsea. Another three points here will ensure confidence is restored, as Mikel Arteta’s men chase down a first league title in 22 years.

Kick-off: 4.30pm, Sunday 1st March

Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich

Can Borussia Dortmund keep the Bundesliga title race alive? It’s win-or-bust this weekend. Dortmund sit eight points behind the Bayern juggernaut in the table, ahead of Der Klassiker this weekend.

Dortmund have lost only once in the league this season, in the season’s first Klassiker back in October, and head into this one unbeaten in 16 Bundesliga games. However, a Champions League collapse against Atalanta may have knocked Niko Kovac’s crew out of their stride.

Spice Rating: Fire

Rangers vs Celtic

Now this is a tasty one. The Old Firm rarely disappoints, and there’s plenty on the line when the Glaswegian giants clash this weekend.

In a shock Scottish title race, the league’s superpowers trail surprise leaders Hearts, who have opened up a four-point gap to Rangers.

Celtic are a further two points behind, though they do have a game in hand on the sides above. A loss for either at Ibrox could be fatal for their title hopes.

Kick-off: 12pm, Sunday 1st February
