5️⃣ spicy fixtures you must watch this weekend 🌶

Tottenham vs Bournemouth

Ange Postecoglou is a man under pressure with Spurs slumping to a midweek defeat at AZ Alkmaar in Europe. The Europa League is last-chance saloon to save their season, but a poor performance leaves the North Londoners with work to do in the return.

Postecoglou’s preparations for this one could see him have one eye on next week, but that could be a foolish move given Bournemouth’s form this season. The Cherries have taken the scalps of Manchester United and Newcastle on the road this season and are just four points from the top four despite back-to-back defeats.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has reportedly been earmarked as a potential Postecoglou replacement.

Napoli vs Fiorentina

Can Napoli get their title challenge back on track?

Antonio Conte’s are without a win in five in Serie A, though remain just a point behind leaders Inter who have failed to take full advantage.

After a late goal rescued a result at Inter last time out, Napoli face another tricky examination when Fiorentina visit Naples this weekend. La Viola addressed their own slump with a 1-0 win over Lecce to remain within touching distance of the European places.

Spice rating: Medium 🌶🌶

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City

The Premier League’s overachievers and champions do battle this weekend.

If someone had suggested Nottingham Forest would be a point and place above Manchester City in March last summer, you’d have sent them to a shrink.

Yet, here we are.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are likely to soak up the pressure and counter the Citizens, who have looked vulnerable to transitions all season. The winners will take a huge step towards Champions League qualification for next season.

Spice rating: Hot 🌶🌶🌶

Juventus vs Atalanta

Recent wobbles for Inter and Napoli have opened up the Serie A title race, with Juventus and Atalanta each in the rear-view mirror.

Juventus have racked up five straight victories to move within six points of the summit, as the division’s draw specialists have started turning stalemates into wins.

Atalanta, meanwhile, have become entirely unpredictable. Their last four league games have either ended goalless or in a 5-0 victory, while their fluctuating form led to a shock Champions League exit. Still, dreams of a maiden Scudetto remain alive.

Spice rating: Fire 🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶

Manchester United vs Arsenal

Manchester United vs Arsenal might not carry the same prestige as it once did, but games between the two rarely disappoint. The FA Cup clash between the sides was engrossing, as 10-man Manchester United upset the odds to dump out the Gunners in North London.

It was a contest filled with the sort of spice this game was once famed for.

Let’s hope for a repeat this weekend, with Old Trafford the stage for the showdown. A positive result for United could be the final nail in Arsenal’s title-challenging coffin.
