Another blockbuster weekend of football takes centre stage across Europe’s top leagues, with decisive battles in England, Spain, Italy, and France live on SuperSport, exclusively on DStv and GOtv.
Premier League: Tottenham, City Seek Statements
Saturday begins with Tottenham hosting Man United at 1:30 p.m. Spurs' form has cooled after a 1-0 loss to Chelsea, though a 4-0 CL win offered relief. Unpredictable United drew 2-2 at Forest.
At 4:00 p.m., Everton host Fulham; the Toffees are winless in three, while Fulham ended their four-game losing streak with a 3-0 win over Wolves.
Arsenal travel to Sunderland at 6:30 p.m. The Gunners are in imperious form, extending their clean sheet run to nine across competitions. Finally, at 9:00 p.m., Chelsea face Wolves. Chelsea are inconsistent despite a win at Spurs. Winless Wolves are bottom and recently sacked VÃtor Pereira.
The weekend concludes with a heavyweight clash at 5:30 p.m. as Man City host Liverpool. City bounced back from a loss with two wins, while Liverpool, fresh from beating Aston Villa and Real Madrid, aim to prove they are back in contention

La Liga: Madrid Hold the Edge, Barça Chase
On Saturday at 5:30 p.m., Atlético Madrid host Levante. Simeone’s men crushed Sevilla 3-0 last time out, while Levante’s 2-1 defeat to Celta Vigo keeps them in mid-table struggle.
Sunday opens with Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid at 3:15 p.m. Madrid have been near-flawless domestically, thrashing Valencia 4-0 last weekend, though their midweek Champions League loss to Liverpool could test their response.
At 8:00 p.m., Celta Vigo welcome Barcelona. The Catalans beat Elche 3-1 last weekend but dropped points in Europe after a 3-3 draw at Club Brugge. They will look to close the five-point gap on Madrid if the leaders stumble.

Serie A: Title Race Tightens at the Top
Only one point separates the top four in Italy as the Serie A campaign heats up.
Saturday at 6:00 p.m. sees Juventus face city rivals Torino. Juve finally secured back-to-back wins after a long drought and drew 1-1 with Sporting in midweek, while Torino continue to grind out results.
At 8:45 p.m., Parma host AC Milan. Milan, currently third, share points with Inter and Roma and remain in strong contention after a narrow win over Roma.
Sunday begins at 3:00 p.m. with Bologna vs Napoli. The leaders were held 0-0 by Como and Frankfurt but remain top, while Bologna, after beating Parma, will be confident at home.
Roma face Udinese at 6:00 p.m. in a key test after defeat to Milan. A win could see them climb to the summit, but Udinese’s recent 1-0 win over Atalanta shows they will not be pushovers.
The weekend ends with Inter Milan vs Lazio at 8:45 p.m. Inter have won nine of their last ten in all competitions, losing only to Napoli, while Lazio’s steady form keeps them in striking distance of the top four.

Ligue 1: Leaders Face Stern Tests
It is tight at the top in France, with key fixtures that could shake up the standings.
On Saturday at 9:05 p.m., Monaco host RC Lens. Lens sit third, two points above Monaco, and come off a 3-0 win over Lorient, while Monaco seek redemption after a 1-0 defeat to Paris FC.
Sunday’s 5:15 p.m. fixture sees Strasbourg host Lille. Strasbourg’s recent dip, two losses in three, threatens their early momentum, while Lille, fourth and level on points, look to build after edging Angers.
The weekend’s main event arrives at 8:45 p.m. when Lyon host PSG. The champions top the table but lost narrowly to Bayern in midweek despite numerical advantage. Lyon, unbeaten in two, could close within four points of the leaders with a home victory.
All Ligue 1 matches air live on SS Football (DStv Ch. 205, GOtv Ch. 61).
