5️⃣ spicy fixtures you must watch this weekend 🌶️ | OneFootball

It’s the week before Christmas which means the busy festive football schedule is well underway.

Here are the fixtures you cannot afford to miss.

Leeds United v Ipswich Town

Starting things off with a nice light one in the second tier of English football.

Leeds United host Ipswich at Elland Road in the hope of closing the 10 point gap that resides between themselves in third, and the Tractor Boys in second place.

Both sides have had truly outstanding starts to the season as they look make a return to the promised land of the Premier League.

Ipswich have taken to life in the Championship incredibly well after a four year absence, winning 16 of their games and losing just twice.

Leeds are in similar form, winning 12 and losing four.

What way better than to start your weekend than watching two teams near the top of the table battle it out?

Atlético de Madrid v Sevilla

Next up a clash between two Spanish giants.

Atlético have had a decent start to the season and currently sit in fourth spot. Sevilla on the other hand are having a bit of a nightmare.

The club sit 15th in La Liga having won just three times all season and have already been unceremoniously dumped out of Europe after finishing fourth in their Champions League group.

A win is desperately needed for Sevilla but Atleti will be wanting it just as bad with a win potentially sending them third in the table, leapfrogging Barcelona.

A clash of titans whose fortunes are currently mixed but you can ensure that any match involving Diego Simeone will include some heat.

Roma v Napoli

A massive game in Italy awaits us on Saturday evening.

Jose Mourinho’s Roma play host to defending Serie A champions Napoli.

A fixture with a history passion and goals, this won’t be one to miss out on.

Roma currently sit in eighth after a mixed start to the season, with Napoli only two points ahead of them in fifth.

The Azzurri haven’t been firing on all cylinders as they were last season, which caused them to take the league and the Champions League by storm but rest assured you can expect both sides to be fired up for this one.

And with Mourinho involved, you can expect drama.

Spicy rating: Hot 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Fenerbahçe v Galatasaray

What a clash we have in store in Turkey as Fenerbahçe host Galatasaray in one of Europe’s biggest derbies.

Turkish football has some of the best atmospheres going and this fixture is famous for its heat.

To make things that little bit better, Fenerbahçe are leading Galatasaray in first place on goal difference alone and both sides have won their last four games in a row.

The two sides will also play each other a week later in the Turkish Super Cup final.

We are in for one hell of a treat on Sunday afternoon.

Liverpool v Arsenal

The pick of the bunch from the Premier League. A vintage tie with a history of drama. Liverpool v Arsenal.

Both teams are vying for the title. Arsenal sit in top spot with Liverpool behind them in second with just a point separating them.

After coming so close last season but ending the season with a whimper, the Gunners need to make this season count and if they are to do so, Mikel Arteta will know that this is a must win game.

Jürgen Klopp too will be seeing this fixture as absolutely vital with his team currently in razor sharp form after drubbing West Ham 5-1 at Anfield in their EFL Cup quarter-final on Wednesday.

The history of this fixture between two of England’s biggest clubs and the stakes on the line, this has the potential to be an absolute classic.
