Man City Eye Top Spot While European Giants Clash This Sunday

City Look to Pull Ahead

Manchester City are in a great position to strengthen their lead at the top of the Premier League this Sunday. Following their big win in the Manchester derby, City are returning to home turf. If they can secure a home victory against Sunderland, they will move three points clear of the current champions Arsenal at the very top of the table.

In another Premier League matchup, Liverpool are also playing this Sunday. Liverpool will make the trip to take on AFC Bournemouth in an away game.

United Seek Bounce Back and European Action

Manchester United are also playing on Sunday as they visit Fulham. United will be fighting to get back on track after a very difficult week. They are looking to bounce back after they lost the Manchester derby and were then knocked out of the Carabao Cup in a midweek match.

The excitement continues across the rest of Europe with several massive rivalries. In Spain's LaLiga, Atlético Madrid will host Real Madrid in the first Madrid derby of the season. Over in Italy, Serie A features a clash as Juventus meet Atalanta.

In the German Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen will face off against RB Leipzig. The Sunday fixtures will conclude in France's Ligue 1, where Marseille host Paris Saint-Germain in the highly anticipated Le Classique.
