5️⃣ spicy fixtures you must watch this weekend 🌶 | OneFootball

Here we go then. With just a few weeks of the season remaining, there's still so much to play for all over Europe.

But here's our five picks for games you simply have to watch this weekend.

Manchester United v Arsenal

It says much about this weekend that Arsenal's trip to Manchester United is the 'lemon and herb' of fixtures to watch.

But despite it being first on this list, have no doubt that the Gunners clash at Old Trafford is going to be one of the defining matches of the campaign.

Saturday afternoon sees Manchester City go to Fulham and if Pep Guardiola's side win - which they should - then the reigning champions will go two points clear at the top.

That then puts all the pressure on Mikel Arteta's men for this blockbuster occasion on Sunday.

If the form table is to be believed, this should be a walkover for Arsenal with the north London side having lost just once in the league since New Year's Eve.

History though, says otherwise with the visitors having not won in front of their own fans at Old Trafford since 2006.

But if you're going to play United in a must-win game at any time over the past decade, now is probably the best occasion.

Erik ten Hag is currently beset with injuries but even with that caveat, the Red Devils have been dire of late, with their 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace a new nadir for the once great club.

Union Berlin v Köln

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Union Berlin were riding a high at the start of the season as they embarked on their first ever Champions League campaign after an uninterrupted rise up the German football pyramid.

After going to Real Madrid, Napoli and Braga the capital club have now come crashing back down to earth to the point where this weekend's match at Köln is a true relegation six-pointer.

And the club seemingly know the cost of not winning this weekend having sacked coach Nenad Bjelica earlier in the week with legend Marco Grote coming in as interim.

Union start the day in in 15th place, one place and point ahead of Mainz in the relegation play-off position.

Köln meanwhile are 17th and simply have to win if they want to go into the final day with any chance of staying up.

Manchester United v Tottenham

History is going to be made on Sunday when a new name will be engraved on to the Women's FA Cup trophy.

Manchester United, playing in only their second final, will take on Tottenham who are going to Wembley for the first time.

Both of these sides have done it the hard way though, with United having beaten Newcastle, Southampton, Brighton and Chelsea, whilst Spurs bested champions-in-waiting Manchester City before getting past Leicester in the semi-finals.

If league form is anything to go by for Sunday's game, United look like they could just edge it.

The match in Manchester between these two ended in a 2-2 draw but the game back in north London was a 4-0 cruising for United.

As United forward Nikita Parris knows however, form goes out of the window once you cross that white line at the home of football.

"Having been in an FA Cup final before, the form going into it has no bearing," she told the BBC.

"It's just a one-off game and both teams will feel they have the edge to win it. It's going to be tighter than everyone thinks."

Championship play-offs

Four of the Championship's biggest clubs take their place in the play-offs, with the first legs taking place this Sunday.

Ipswich and Leicester secured automatic promotion in the dying weeks of the campaign which means Leeds now face Norwich and West Brom host Southampton in the semi-finals.

Leeds will fancy their chances when they go to Carrow Road with the east Anglia outfit having only won once in their previous five games.

Southampton's trip to the Hawthorns is a harder one to call though with the Saints and the Baggies having an identical record of wins, draws and losses as they go into these play-off matches.

Southampton should be able to call upon previously-injured striker Ross Stewart however, which could turn the tide in their favour.

Celtic v Rangers

With three more games of the Scottish Premiership season to go, the biggest Old Firm clash of the campaign takes his place this Saturday.

Celtic host their age-old rivals Rangers with the Parkhead outfit currently sitting three points clear at the top of the table.

A win for Brendan Rodgers' side then and they would be six points clear of Rangers with just two more matches remaining.

The Scottish Premiership does work on a goal-difference basis though, so technically there would still be a chance that Philippe Clement's side could win the title.

With Celtic having to face Kilmarnock and St Mirren in the final week however, one would think that a victory on Saturday would essentially wrap up the Hoops' 54th title.

The last match between these two, back in April, was one of the games of the season ending in a 3-3 draw.

Let's hope for more of the same.
