Halloween Football Starts at Stamford Bridge

Halloween brings a full schedule of matches across Europe, starting with a major Premier League clash. Chelsea host Manchester United in the early fixture on the final day of October.

Manchester United enter the match after a string of inconsistent results. Head coach Michael Carrick is under mounting pressure to turn things around for the club. A strong showing against Chelsea would be a massive boost for his side.

The fixture list includes seven more Premier League games later in the day. One highlighted match sees Manchester City play Brighton & Hove Albion. This meeting comes just three days after their recent encounter in the Carabao Cup.

Elsewhere in London, Tottenham Hotspur take on Crystal Palace in a derby match. Aston Villa are also in action as they prepare to face Fulham.

Action Across European Leagues

European leagues also offer plenty of excitement on Saturday. In LaLiga, Atlético Madrid take on Levante.

The Bundesliga features a huge Der Klassiker fixture between league leaders Bayern Munich and second placed Borussia Dortmund. Bayern Munich are led by Harry Kane, who enters the game as the newly crowned Ballon d'Or winner.
